Does everyone still have faith in our court system? Or am I the only one who thinks it's an abject failure?

I wouldn't say that the system itself is bad, it's just that a lawyer with very good social engineering skills played a hand-picked jury and played them to the best of his abilities. This is a truly horrible example of "justice" but a very good example of a seedy lawyer doing what he is best at: winning at all costs. Really, the jury made the decision. They were snowed by the lawyer and by their preconceived notions that just because a woman is a stripper, she is a whore and deserved what she got. It wasn't a winable case, IMO.
