We hope that the end result is a just verdict that is also truthful, even though all sides in a trial want to hide at least some of the truth. - Alan Dershowitz

Rights come from human experience, particularly experiences with injustice… In a word, rights come from wrongs.

The First Amendment is not limited to the right to be right; it also enshrines the right to be wrong.

The prosecution is perfectly happy to have the truth of guilt come out but it, too, has a truth to hide: it wants to make sure the process by which the evidence was obtained is not truthfully presented, because, as often as not, that process will raise questions.
