The justice system is in need of overhaul. Bill Maher spoke about this a month or two ago. The current justice system doesn't determine what The Truth is. It determines who the best arguers are. It also rewards those who spend the most money, just like our elections.

The problem is, aside from excising money from the justice system, we don't really have a better way of determining justice. There is always going to be someone who "gets away with murder" and there are always going to be someone who gets sent to prison or put to death for a crime they didn't commit.

Welcome to the real world, where there are no guarantees. Until we come up with a better system, we are dependent on people doing their due diligence and we are depending on people to have integrity, but it just doesn't always happen. All you can do is to do your best. It's part of being human.

It's just going to be that way until we figure out a way to read people's memories to see what they really witnessed to find out if they're lying or not. or we learn how to time travel and go back and observe what really happened. or some other sci fi way of determining true or false.
