That is highly debatable. Two things I think are very bad in your system is
1. Jury verdicts. Judges are trained to let their emotions and possible prior knowledge (example Michael Jackson case) to not influence their decission. Jury's don't have this training.
2. ALOT of cases don't really go to court. Many people plea guilty to get reduced sentence and then there's no defence possible. There are so many things that can go wrong in an investigation that would cause the case to be thrown out. Also many of these guilty pleads (sp?) are presured by policemen. I've heard many of these instances with (dutch) drug dealers who were caught at customs and are presured to plead guilty.
Then there's the death penalty but that's a whole other discussion.
