The end depends on the media first, the prosecutor second, and the judge third. Ass backwards, if you ask me... in fact, the media shouldn't be in that equation at all.
Correction.. the "end" NEVER depends on the media...EVER! Seldom depends on the prosecutor, and ALWAYS depends on the JURY. The JUDGE is a mere "tool" of administering "JUSTICE" and order. If the judge ever becomes more than this, then he/she is legislating from the bench.
Trial by media is anarchy.
In a weaponized justice system, all of the above are against you, but the larger net is cast upon the jury. If we lose the objective nature of a jury, then we, as a nation, have truly lost the wishes of our Founding Fathers in this nation.
Perhaps you were being sarcastic, but I wasn't. And, perhaps I misunderstood. If so, my apologies...otherwise, I stand firm.
