    A good trial is one where all sides have presented the strongest case they can, the judgement reflects the quality of those cases, and the verdict leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind that justice was done.

    Poor counsel leads to poor, untrustworthy outcomes.

    Yes I know, I am naive.

      95% of all criminal cases end up in a plea bargain. The vast majority of Americans can’t afford a good lawyer anyway and get fucked by our legal system.
