We can all create ridiculous extreme cases. You know what...most people who are on trial actually are guilty. So why have a trial for anyone? Let's just let the DA decide whose guilty. The government decides you should go to jail so you do. And you'll just sit there until they decide to let you out. That's the ridiculous extreme on the other side of what you are arguing.
Yes, we either have to have a guilty plea or a trial. I don't think you would want to live in a country where people are arrested and jailed with no trial. Or would you?
