In the introduction to The Best Defense, a book by civil rights lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, the author publishes the real rules of the American justice game.
Most criminal defendants are, in fact guilty.
Rule 2 - All criminal defense lawyers, prosecutors and judges understand and believe Rule 1. Rule 3 - It is easier to convict guilty defendants by violating the Constitution than by complying with it, and in some areas it is impossible to convict guilty defendants without violating the Constitution. Rule 4 - Almost all police lie about whether they violated the Constitution in order to convict guilty defendants. Rule 9 - All appellate judges are aware of Rule 8, yet many pretend to believe the trail judges who pretended to believe the lying police officers. Rule 11 - Most judges and prosecutors would not knowingly convict a defendant who they believe to be innocent of the crime charged.
