The Law Is Agnostic About Truth.

Everybody Says They're Opposed To Torture. But Everyone Would Do It Personally If They Knew It Could Save The Life Of A Kidnapped Child Who Had Only Two Hours Of Oxygen Left Before Death. And It Would Be The Right Thing To Do.

If You're A Prosecutor, And You Believe The Defendant Is Guilty, You Only Talk About Ultimate Truth, But Not Intermediate Truth. If You're The Defense Attorney, You Care Deeply About Intermediate Truth, But You Tend To Neglect Ultimate Truth.

Rights Are Not Self-evident. They're Not Unalienable. They Are Subject To Modification Just Like Anything Else.

In Our Criminal Justice System, We Say It's Better For 10 Guilty People To Go Free Than For Even One Innocent Person To Be Wrongly Convicted.

The Judge Also Has A Truth He Wants To Hide: He Often Hasn't Been Completely Candid In Describing The Facts Or The Law.
