But this is absolutely correct.
If in the entire criminal justice system 99% of trials ended in conviction then I would agree that there is some luck involved in an acquittal. I would have no problem with that.
If you claim that the 99% result is due to the "situation" then there is luck involved in being in that 1% of "situations".
