How The Criminal Court System Is Stacked Against You.

Quick answer

Is the criminal justice system stacked against defendants? In resources, yes, says Oakland criminal defense attorney Andrew Dósa. The government brings police agencies, staff investigators, and money to hire experts, while most defendants have only one lawyer. That lawyer—and the jury—become the sole checks on improper government intrusion, which is why he often works far beyond what he's paid.
