If people aren't happy with the legal system and how these people get convicted, perhaps there's something wrong with it.
Maybe this power should not be there in the first place.

You know I haven't thought about it much. I am not really sure where this power comes from. I am sure it is written somewhere. Lots of things are done around these parts because of some precedent. Neither of the parties which control our government would agree to give it up for fear that when they get back in power they would not have it available to them to abuse. So I don't forsee any significant changes in the near future.
