is it all on the jury's hands or is it the skilled lawyer?

I'm confused as to how a murderer gets a not guilty verdict when all evidence and surveillance points to the suspect. Although self-defense is the counter argument for some. Some do walk free but some get a guilty verdict (depending on situation and location of the crime). I often noticed that a liberal city or town often lets people walk than if it's in a conservative town. I don't get acquittals either. An acquittal pretty much mean one is guilty but is somehow let go of the charge. I'd assume the jury is to blame here or the lawyer was that lucky? These days I rarely hear a guilty verdict on an innocent person because everyone is scared to be sued! What do you guys think of this subject?

One no matter what we say. As a culture we treat everyone as a guilty murdering monster. So what really happens is you can't access the record of court processes for a current case So joe nobody is arrested for murdering mr wright. Big new case so the police pretend that they have loads of evidence and that mr joe nobody is evil , aren't you the public glad we caught this evil man. The media is to lazy to not just print what the police writes for them. So in your mind and the public mind is that mr nobody is guilty as sin. Two years go by before trail happens while mr nobody sits in jail. Suddenly they get a non guilty vedict. Everyone is pissed and still believes that mr nobody is this evil man. They don't tell you that police are human and lazy. Mr nobody was in Japan at time of murder in Ohio so of course he couldnt have done it. But mr nobody will be back in jail on more false crimes becuase it makes the public happy. There is almost never any real investigation into any crime. 95% of all court cases are plead down to just to save face.

you never thought about those police getting sued? You're a conspiracy theorist while sometimes what you said does happen. You heard of the deranged man claiming his father raped and strangled that jogger in NYC? It doesn't mean he will get charged for it if his DNA doesn't match at all. He's into his 15 minutes of fame.

How does one figure if a lawyer is "good"? Does the law firm usually post their "wins" and achievements for bragging rights so they get hired by a client?

it's my understanding that everything except the juvenile and domestic relations courts is public record. IOW, you can access records of court proceedings for anything and everything that doesn't fall under juvie, domestic relations, and matters of national security.
as such you can evaluate judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys if you want. of course, higher profile cases will also be written about in newspapers so you can also search articles for names of defendants, law firms, and individual attorneys. there are often quotes from prosecutors in those articles as well.

Its public record one year after its settle completely. But you need to pay a fee to access it. It's something most people who haven't had to take law classes would ever do
