Is the purpose of legal proceedings to get at the truth or to provide media entertainment?

Media Circus versus Justice
[Sowell was referring to the Monica Lewinski/President Clinton media circus but it applies just as well to the Martin/Zimmerman media circus.—Joe]
To be honest, I suspect that legal proceedings with the state as one party are purely propaganda and rigged legal theatre.
If the state wins, it’s “pour encourager les autres”; if the state loses, it’s to delude us into thinking the game isn’t rigged.
