If the criminal's lawyer can convince an appeals judge to release the criminal, is that any less valid than the prosecutor convincing a jury of morons to convict the criminal in the first place?

PS. Your linefeed netiquette is still bad. I'm using thunderbird and I can't read your message when I quote it without using 'rewrap'... I don't automatically rewrap incoming messages because sometimes that screws up the sender's formatting.
