...The first one being that everyone has to have a lawyer.
See, that's not even actually a rule. You can defend yourself pro se and even bring action without counsel, foolish as that is, in many civil circumstances.
...it is far more likely that one man will do right than it is for a crowd to decide to do right.
Well, no. That's just you declaring a thing without any study of my system, the one you decided to weigh in on and declare a few things about like this, to support your bias.
The fact is, and one supported by verdict after upheld verdict, that juries, properly constituted, informed of the evidence and charged, do good work that is confirmed by those learned in the law upon appeal and review.
...Bible says a judge and multiple witnesses. Nothing about lawyers, rights or juicyprunings.
We aren't a theocracy and I haven't asserted that we're attempting to repeat what made perfect sense in that day but makes less sense in this one (see, better educated and informed jury pools, forensic evidence, etc.).
Otherwise, the point of contention between us was never over how the OT system of justice functioned, but your unfounded declarations regarding mine.
Your system is corrupt, broken and evil.
They remain unfounded.
