I guess when congress passes laws that include penalties that
are 10,000x as severe as they should be, the prosecutor can
come across as reasonable or even lenient by letting the
accused off with a 100x excessive penalty.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

How come then, I've heard reports that at least one State Governor stated that
he was not prepared to sign any death warrants, seeing as over half the people
on death row seemed to be innocent ...
I've seen too many wrongful convictions here in the UK to believe that the
majority of defendants are guilty ...
Cheers,

Given what we know of CSI labs through out the country, the data strongly
suggests that more than 50% of the convictions based exclusively on
evidence from csi, is forged, fabricated, or otherwise created by the
prosecution to convict the innocent.
This is before the cops push the plea-bargain ---plead guilty to x, otherwise
we will charge you with y,z, and a. And ensure that lawyer will assist in
convicting you. (A lawyer provided by the state, for legal defence can sleep
through the entire trial --- with the court transcript showing how much time
he was snoring --- and still be considered to have had an adequate legal
defence by a competent attorney. A lawyer defending a defendant can walk
into the court room, tell the judge that s/he has never met with the client,
be
denied five minutes to talk to the client, and the defendant is considered to
have had an excellent - discussion with their court assigned attorney.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
