a person is entitled to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, and our adversarial system requires evidence to be tested and challenged before it is found to be truthful. if *you *were ever falsely accused of a crime (and trust me it does happen more than you would imagine) you would want a robust barrister to test and challenge the evidence called against you.
and consider what it is like for a person wrongly accused having to sit through a police interview being accused of lying, and then being charged and perhaps held in custody until trial, and then being questioned by a robust, challenging prosecutor accusing them of lying etc...because it cuts both ways.
