Why is it profit motivation that does that?
Especially considering its trial by jury. You can argue the justice system is flawed for a number of reasons but I still don't see how apparant profit motivation (which is pretty minimal imo considering most of the people locking others up are public employees and there is almost always a jury in a death penalty case. More importantly, it doesnt serve anyone's profit to have people be executed at least from my understanding. You need to more specific and/or offer proof how the death penalty system is undermined by capitalist for profit individuals.
But how does anyone benefit from having individuals convincted of the death penalty. You give an answer for prosecuters (which Ill defend in a minute) but havn't explained the application to judges, police or juries.
The flaws in the justice system, a good argument against the death penalty are largely independant of any kind of capitalism or economic system.
No its not. Stats are not the main determinant of promotion or salary from my understanding and I don't directly it has any effect at all. They are judged by performance but obviously stats are completely dependant on what type of cases and the specific difficulty of the cases themselves.
Also win-loss record hypothesis works the other way usually. It means that prosecuters won't prosecute cases they don't think they are a lock at winning to preserve their stats. Risking ethical violations to win one casee would not make sense if their motivation is purely stats. Ethical violations usually occur when the prosecuter has an emotional investment into the case not a financial one. Thats a flaw for the justice system but not one derived out of capitalism.
Code:
Its not a shot for no reason, its a shot with the reason being that I do not believe the judicial system should be run by the same capital incentive as a business.
But its not.
Everyone is a public employee who works in court except for the defendant's lawyers and he can get a public defender if he wants one.
I don't see how the justice system is run like a business at all.
