Looks are a hinderance on many levels: 1 giving a weeker sentence to women as apposed to males, 2 racial profileing, and 3 he/she looked guilty. It's not like the people can up and say anything in court any damn way, it's all up to there lawyers.

And what about when the defendant desires to take the stand? Ever been part of a jury? Being in the room with all parties involved is integral to the process of determining guilt or innocence. Recorded/transmitted audio/video just don't convey the same messages.
