A bit like Rumpole, then. Guilt or innocence was irrelevant. As one of Robert Heinlein's characters put it, "Straining at gnats and swallowing camels is a required course in law school"

The US lawyer states that cases are not decided on the facts; they are decided on emotion. He also says that the defendant, when he or she walks into the court, is always presumed to be guilty. I suspect that he is right on both counts. His wife is terrific.

Courts are the same here and probably elsewhere. The American system is a bit brutal but he's right about how cases are decided.
