Things I have learned from Law & Order (and similar shows):
1. If a policemen does something illegal at work, nobody ever brings charge aganst him to the court. Instead, the criminal, he is investigating against at this time, get's a general immunity.
2. A successful lawyer never tries to prove his client's innocence. Even if he is innocent, the fail rate is much higher, than just finding a formal error in the criminal prosecution, that voids any and every evidence.
3. A jury is stupid and has no idea of the actual laws
4. State's attorney knows that, so he does not care for the law and tries to get the subject punished as hard as possible, no matter if he did that or not.
5. The advocate knows 3, too, so he does not care for the laws either.
4a) In front of the court, the definition of adult is: Somebody who has sex with anyone under the age of 18 -or- somebody who commits a major crime (obviously juvenile law was not made to find a fair punishment for a mind not developed enough to handle a given situation but to ... be ignored once the state's attorney thinks the jury hungers for blood enough to punish the kid, no matter how)
Seriously, I don't understand this system. I should stick to my german court shows.

Things I have learned from german court shows:
1. If you are subpoenaed, apear in your working outfit, so that everybody knows what you are. This is especially important, if you are a prostitude or a pimp.
1a. If you look like a Hippie you are probably some kind of psycho sect leader.
2. Everyday is "Bring your own evidence day" at court.
3. The (real) guilty person will confess the whole crime, if he just get's angry enough at the victim, just to tell him "And you deserve it. Ha!"
4. Nowadays you can scream, shout and insult each other at court and you will only get a firm warning. Just racial and major sexist insults will get you a fine.
Okay, maybe I shouldn't watch that either and should start to watch less television.
But not today, Law and Order starts in a quarter of an hour.
