I can understand mistakes made years ago putting innocent people behind bars, but do we really have that problem today? There are so many loopholes in "beyond a reasonable doubt" exploited by lawyers I'm sure there are far more guilty people running free than innocent people being jailed.

Our legal system sucks. Nothing burns my butt more than these criminals being released on technicalities. Again, no accountability.

Here is my definition of stupid.

We catch some killer on video and some lowlife lawyer gets him off because some cop screwed up collecting evidence. What can be any more stupid? Release the killer back on the streets to kill again because a mistake was made in due process.

If that killer was caught on tape it should be case closed period. There is no doubt he is the killer so he should be held accountable for his actions period. If a cop screws up the investigation he/she should be held accountable but it should not relieve the criminal of their actions in the process.

I don't care if the video was collected illegally and therefore inadmissible. If the video shows the crime they should do the time.

I think accountability should also be put on lawyers and judges as well. It may just clean up this filthy legal buddy system we have. If a lawyer knows for sure his client is guilty and he gets him off to kill again, then the lawyer should be tried as an accomplice to the crime.
