Where is the proof?

If the government cannot prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, then yes- that is exactly what the Constitution says.

Not Harrier.

Enough with the broad generalizations.

Harrier agrees 100% with your second sentence, and if you hadn't insulted conservatives with your first sentence, you would have received a rep point.

Except in this case there was enough solid evidence, Clinton just chose to downplay it and ignore it in court and let him off scott-free.

Oh, so your opinion is that Hillary's client was not guilty?

Do you even know what a defense lawyer does?

Let's say I had a close relative who was a victim of a violent crime. The assailant, due to the legal system, was released as "the state could not prove the case". What would I do? I would hunt them down and kill them. Of course, in our "legal system", I would certainly be convicted, despite having achieved justice.
Justice is served when a defendant is found not guilty, as well as if they are found guilty.

A pity that you only think that one side of that equation is valid.

Harrier hopes that you are never selected for a jury.

She was a defense lawyer? She did her job. What aren't you getting here? Yes, she's a Democrat. Grow up! There are Republican defense lawyers too. whom have certainly gotten guilty people out of jail time. If an individual isn't willing to defend potentially guilty people, they probably should have followed a different career path.

It's the constitution which really makes me question your devotion to the constitution. Not that I honestly think you hate the constitution, but you clearly just don't like Hillary. Your letting your bias influence the simply facts: she did her job and upheld a man's constitutional right. There's nothing immoral about it.

That is good, shame there are right wingers on here who think people don't have the right to a fair trial.
