To Heal the Scourge of Prejudice : The Life and Writings of Hosea Easton Book

Here is a quote from the book that pretty wells sums it up:

In such an adversarial context, the search for truth can quickly degenerate into a matter of strategy, tactics, spins, and bluffs. Ultimately it becomes something of a game, each side intent on victory rather than finding out what really happened and why. Perhaps such a system can uncover some of the truth, but rarely will it uncover the "whole truth." As each side highlights only "facts" that support the result it seeks, all too often elements of the truth fall through the cracks.

This is our judicial system and if you want to read about the reality of one case then I would recommend this book to you.
