"Just four months after a Florida jury acquitted Casey Anthony of murdering her daughter, one of the prosecutors has released a ghostwritten book called “Imperfect Justice.’’ This is the way the justice system works in the most spectacular cases: there is the legal phase, and there is the cash-in phase, and sometimes the two are concurrent. But it’s too easy to confuse stunning TV “gotcha’’ moments with a clear path to conviction. No one should count on the courts for emotional satisfaction."
-Joanna Weiss 20 Nov. 2011


I think Weiss' point about denouncing the court system through emotional satisfaction commits the red herring fallacy.  While she does make a valid point discussing the concurrency of the legal and cash-in phase, she then concludes that "no one should count on the courts for emotional satisfaction."  Besides the fact that the premise right before begins to deviate from the original argument, I think that a basic knowledge of our justice system would state that a main purpose of due process in court is to avoid such emotional, and possibly rash, unjust decisions.
