    And in so doing, hold a bias for the asshole.

    Criminal court is intended to be biased towards the defendant. Hence the “beyond a reasonable doubt” burden of proof.

    (Obviously that bias is often not upheld properly, and plenty of people are railroaded by the system into unjust convictions.)
