When you learn about the system, you start to realize how fucked up it is. For starters, so many cases, even ones prosecutors would never be able to prove in court, end up settled. Because prosecutors scare defendants, even ones who may be innocent, with higher than necessary charges and threats and then offer settlements. So you have people settling cases where they aren't even guilty.

Really, there are so many problems with the system as it is set up now. And that is even more true in more Conservative states and/or states where judges are elected. In many southern states Judges consider themselves colleagues with prosecutors and favor them. And judges who are elected feel the need to be "tough on crime." So prosecutors have it easier from the get-go often.

That doesn't surprise me, sadly. They, and police officers, definitely know how to intimidate people. And ugh, yes, the "tough on crime" people. They definitely don't help matters, either.

I also can't stand the prosecutors who create such flamboyant, dramatic presentations of their cases in the courtroom. I've seen a few of those on some true crime stories, too, and they drive me nuts. They practically act out the crime the way they imagine it happened, they make intense accusations towards the defendant, pointing at them, they get up in the jury's faces, etc. It's like, hi, you're not auditioning for a role on a TV series, you're here to prove a case. Quit making it all about you.

To say nothing of the emotional manipulation some people have pulled out, too.
