Sorry to be a wet blanket once again, but the term courts use is NOT GUILTY.
The term innocent is never used !
Besides that another term used is Cleared, which doesnt mean he is innocent at all.
One gets cleared from the charges brought against him or her cause there would be holes all over the prosecution's case.

Simpson guilty than there was to prove Peterson guilty?
The system does not work all the time, it is based on the premise that:
1. All people will tell the truth when on the witness stand.
2. That jury members actually have a clue about the law and will not let their personal biases affect their judgement.
The law is made to be black and white. You are either guilty of a crime or not guilty.
1. Not telling the truth on the witness stand is perjury and there is a law for just that occurence.
2. Juries are instructed in the law and directed in what they are or are not take into consideration when deliberating.
The system is not perfect in every single way, but it is the best system for determining guilt. The system works all the time even if there are times that the verdict was not correct.
In this case, it is a FACT that Michael Jackson is not guilty.

The criminal judicial system itself provides the best way to determine innocence or guilt in a civilized manner.
To answer your question, no the system is not infallable, but it is quite effective. Public opinion is the problem, not the system itself.
