Do you take the position they don't exist? That they don't happen? If they do happen, why do you think they happen? You never followed a show trial? You never got satisfaction from a known guilty person being convicted?
Gee, am I the only person who can be honest?

What about modern-era show trials. Wasn't Saddam Husein's trial was a show trial, I enjoyed that, didn't you?
