I have said on many occasions that our adversarial court system stinks and needs to be changed, but I'm not holding my breath!
District Attorneys, or Crown Attorneys here in Canada, are given the job of convicting someone of a crime no matter what the circumstances.
And defense attorneys are charged with proving them innocent, no matter whether they did it or not!
This stinks kids, and I'll tell ya why!
(This is a true story and only the names have been omitted to protect the innocent! ME, I don't want to get sued, after all, I am talking about lawyers here!)
Seems a guy in Toronto was convicted of sexual assault, based on eye witness testimony, and went to jail for a couple of years!
(During his trial it was noted that he did bear an uncanny resemblance to a notorious rapist and murderer who is now in jail for the rest of his life, and he lived in the same area!)
Long after he was sent to the big house, the rapist confessed to the crime, which means our hapless hero was innocent............... right?
Not quite!
The Crown didn't want the embarrassment of convicting the wrong guy, so they BURIED THE EVIDENCE EXONERATING THE POOR SLOB!
They sat on it!
Like it never happened!
Fuck the innocent guy!
(Oh, and the government doesn't want to give him any compensation either!)
Some justice system eh?
