Yes, we can agree to disagree. However, it is interesting that I find you now simply reiterating the notion "Applying the spirit as opposed to the letter makes the system more of a casino than it already is, IMO"...while we have agreed(though you got me wrong for a moment) that the evidence in a particular case is of prime importance. Our agreement makes a good premise.

Now that we've agreed on a premise there should be a logical argument bringing us to conclusions. Why do you think that the letter of the law should be applied without due consideration of justness, i.e. the spirit of the law, as evidence would warrant? Surely we are both seeking justice. How would this lead to a casino effect?
