Honest answer: the legal theory is that if each side doesn't argue their case as well as they can, justice can't be complete. That's why there are things like mistrials when the defense attorneys do a poor job, and appeals only work to the extent that certain things were brought up furing the original trial.
In practice it's deeply flawed.
