How the justice system is allowed to proceed with a farce in the way it is blows my mind. Like nobody's driving the bus, it's just a bunch of self-serving entities trying to get as much as they can for themselves. Prosecuting and defending seems like two sides of the same coin. There's no reason the roles of prosecutor, defender, and juror couldn't be assigned cases randomly from the same pool of lawyers. At least the perverse behavioral economics of the personal incentive game would be turned on its head.
