Reply #38: Technicalities are what get the innocent acquitted [View All]

I remember taking a police science class where we were trained in how to trick people into confessing - even when they were innocent. Miranda discussed used of rubber hoses. I remember one class with a number of officers, where one stood up and said that he would arrest people and then create the evidence. The DDA who was running the class, looked at the other police officers and said "Did you hear that?" The others looked like they felt it was a "so what?" Throwing out bad evidence because it is bad evidence is what this technicality issue is about. Why does Dean want to eliminate these technicalities that give innocent people a fair trial. Why doesn't he care about the innocent victims of his streamlined trials? This is one issue where every other candidate is better. The other candidates all understand that in America people are innocent until proven guilty. Dean thinks like a person who has no concept of the American justice system. He needs to get an education before he starts asking people who support the Constitution to support him.
