It's either innocent people being convicted or guilty people being set free.

Have you been living under a rock? There's lots of movies (and TV shows) that show the legal system in a positive light.

Did I hurt your feelings just by answering a simple question?

[–] BoSoxRule 12 years ago

No, you didn't hurt my feelings, you just need to relax. That's all.

You mean like "Presumed Innocent"?

[–] BoSoxRule 11 years ago

Is that a joke? Don't think it was shown in a very positive light in Presumed Innocent. Wasn't the judge corrupt?

I forgot about this post, but reading it now, I must have intended it as a joke. You are right about the Judge. According to one of the investigators, the judge (Laren- sp?) had been "porkinxg" the woman that was murdered, and he was afriad his relationship wiht her would be brought out. So he called a halt to the trial, saying that the State did not have a shred of evidence.

No, it would be too unrealistic.
