Our Rights Come From Our Long History Of Wrongs.

I Don't Think The Law Exists To Arrive At The Truth. If It Did, We Wouldn't Have Exclusionary Rules, We Wouldn't Have Presumptions Of Innocence, We Wouldn't Have Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt. There's An Enormous Difference Between The Role Of Truth In Law And The Role Of Truth In Science. In Law, Truth Is One Among Many Goals.
