Now sure, sometimes there is a jury in there
99% of all capital cases will see a 12 person jury. Sometimes?

but do you really think the government isn't in control of the situation
Ummm no. The judge, though paid by the government, is the one in control of the situation. Along with independant counsel and the prosecutor.

Can't you see at all where this might go wrong and maybe, if the guy is lucky enough to have a jury, they might be swayed by the government and it's rather stacked deck?
Do i see how a prosecution and a defense can "go wrong"....ummm, no.

Lucky enough to have a jury? What are you going on about? Its a 100% guarentee the guy will have a jury if thats what he chooses. Your really losing me with this argument.

Stacked deck? The government now controls/influences juries? Is this what your saying?

Or is it a "stacked deck" most of the time, well.....beause they usually have the guy who did it? Or is it now that prosecutors are so inept and unfair, they just charge the first schmuck walking down street?
