If the state cannot meet the burden of proof, follow correct procedure, or the jury is not unanimously convinced of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, then there is no conviction.


I don't think there is anyone on this forum who has 15 years criminal experience worked for two different district attorney offices and was a defense attorney in between those positions. I have been involved in over 5,000 criminal cases.

I have seen the innocent go to prison. I have seen false confessions given. I have seen evidence falsified. And I have seen the guilty walk. I have tried cases from both sides where the issue was not guilt but appropriate punishment.

The system is flawed, but it is still the best system on earth.

And to attack the office of defense attorney is to attack due process, and by proxy the constitution of this country.

As I stated at first DB, I know you are better than that, so why can't we stick to the issues of the thread?

Be blessed.

Brother, let me make myself clear. ONE sentance you wrote I must address: I am NOT attacking the office of the defense attorney. I am attacking anyone who claims to walk in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and feels no conviction to defend a guilty man. Are you saying they should? That it is their job? Then they need to find another job that does not VIOLATE THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST! Or simply, DEFEND PEOPLE THEY BELIEVE ARE INNOCENT. It is that simple.

In Jesus name
