Honestly, it's probably nothing of the sort, but it certainly does look bad. When I was on jury duty, nobody in the pool was willing to talk about the process we used to get the resulting judgment. I don't know about the other jurors, but having spent nearly a month of my life dealing with the case, I wasn't about to say anything that could be used to overturn things. Both parties were pretty much hated by the whole jury by the end of the trial and I have great confidence that the resulting judgments were fair by way of both parties being hated equally by us. If I had been able to do it legally, I would have taken all the money from both of them and given it to somebody else entirely. I suspect that kind of thinking happens more than one might expect due to the time that the attorneys spend trying to tar each other within the boundaries set up in the appropirate civil procedures and courtroom rules.

Depends how you go about it. Mandating that the defense is guaranteed a similar amount of funding to the prosecution, and that the defendant is not allowed anything more, would greatly increase the fairness of trials. I'd also ban mock juries for use by consultants trying to figure out which jurors to get tossed from consideration during selection.
