Another lie motley.  Not anything to avoid a conviction.  Just a belief in objective justice where the constitution's demand that folks should be presumed innocent until proven guilty is honored.  I have no problem with participants who testify in general.  I have a problem with participants who are paid and bribed to testify against others.  When they get their charges reduced, they are motivated to say what the DA wants them to say rather than stick with the truth.  You are comfortable with bribed witnesses only because you presume guilt without proof and therefore believe that nailing them with bought testimony is just a formality.  So you are the opposite of what you call me.  You will do anything to get a conviction because you are sure from the arrest on that the citizen is guilty and that proof via honest testimony is unneeded.
