>at some point a judge will be asked if it fits the charge, and make a layman decision, not a programmer's one. There seems to be a doubles standard in regards to the use of technical vs layman decisions. I've seen legal cases where the judge is making rulings on extremely technical points of law which are far outside the layman's understanding, but these only seem to happen when there are really expensive lawyers pushing for it. Have a public defender? Layman decisions, especially if they aren't in the defendants favor. I wonder if anyone would have the ability to formalize this into actual research to see if there is any truth behind my intuition.
