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".

If every case is different, as in situations in football, then the 1 would have circumstances that dicated an acquittal. 

Unless you're saying the CJS isn't fair and unbiased. 


Regardless, it's not the same because the conviction or acquittal is determined by 12 people and what they're going through at that time. That's an extra factor and reliant on what each of those 12 are going through at the time and their thoughts on a myriad of subjects, as well as other's influence on them. It's chance, not luck.
