The distinction I'm making is that I don't think you, as a defence counsel, would like to hear yourself saying that when an innocent man is arrested and held in jail, put to thousands of dollars of legal expense and the potential vagaries of judges doing legal gymnastics or papering-over, and finally gets acquitted.... I don't think you, as a good defence counsel, would want to say that's the way we would really want the system to work, would you?
