It did? Really? When, exactly?
Justice has been occassionally perverted since the beginning. Give me an era that you think where your above statement was true, and I'm 100% certain I can find more than one wrongful conviction based on the politics of the time. There was no "great time" when juries were made up exclusively of wise men who never let their personal feelings get in the way of a verdict.
After having reread the OP, I think it's an even bigger trainwreck than I originally thought. Its borderline incomprehensible.
