> you're biased simply because you don't take police testimonies as ground truth

If the system considers police testimony as ground truth, why bother with judge and jury?

The majority of cases are settled by plea bargains, which don’t have a jury and minimal involvement by a judge. Many proposed reforms of the criminal justice system try to address this exact fact.

Most defendants don't.

Ahh, the Cardassian system of Jurisprudence and Justice.
