I suppose you have not yet had the opportunity to watch that new show, How to get away with murder, which basically explains precisely how lawyers convince the jury that an obviously guilty man is innocent.
It happens in real life, and the show is merely a reflection of that.
It is an awesome show, of course, but guilty people should not be allowed to go free.
Life is full of trade offs. If a right to privacy exists...it will make it easier for people like Minimalist to traffic child pornography. If the standard for conviction is "beyond a reasonable doubt" some guilty people will go free. Nirvana is not for this world and no amount of legal wrangling will make it so. Some people will always get away doing bad things and this is especially true in a free society.
