The criminal justice system embraces due process, but are there situations where those rights aren't really needed?
- consider this scenario: A person is caught murdering someone else, cold-blooded, and in front of multiple independent witnesses. The suspect confesses the whole event to the responding officers, and the weapon is present at the scene.
- Do "we" need a trial in such a case?
- What is the point of the trial?
- Even after confessing, what rights does the suspect have relative to the trial proceedings and presentation of witnesses and evidence?
