Why ask the question if you know the answer.
Obviously a political trolling.

There are no legal defenses to responsibility.

All those charged with crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt. (Blame the Founding Fathers)

A character charged with a crime has the right to trial by jury (Blame the Founding Fathers)

A being charged with a crime has the right not to testify and not hold that silence used as evidence of guilt(Blame the Founding Fathers)

You get the point. The system was set up to protect individuals from overreaching of the senate. If you don't like the idea of trial by jury -- amend the Constitution.

By the approach. Most is not all persons charged are convicted of the crimes they are charged beside.

Only a few are actually acquitted or own the cases dropped or dismissed. And that is usually because the prosecuting agencies have erred.
