The process to convict a murderer is quite simple. You arrest him. You present the case to the grand jury to get an inditement. You then take the case to a trial jury where the lawyers present the facts of the case to the jurors. Then the lawyers present their interpretation of the facts to the jurors. Then the Judge reads the law to the Jurors. Then the Jurors deliberate and return with a verdict. If the jury finds the defendant guilty, the prisoner is convicted. Following that, the state will pay for 2 direct appeals and 5 collateral appeals plus a hearing for a pardon. In the process, a bunch of lawyers get rich on your tax dollar.
