oink, I agree. The fact that their jobs rest on the Win/Loss record means that justice is not being pursued as vigorously as the public would like. At least TRY.
It's not like there is any doubt that driver was involved in the accident. Give a jury a chance to see the evidence and decide.
I realize there are times when a key piece of evidence becomes corrupted or is not obtained properly and they are forced to let the case go, but this fear of trying a case that isn't a 100% lock on victory does not serve us.
Honestly, I think the mindset should be that each and every trial is a battle that may be lost, but is still worth fighting if there is no doubt in their minds of the guilt.
