There are so many holes in this theory it is no wonder it doesn't work at all in practise

- tenpies 7y agoGood news then, we use competing systems to determine a solution in several facets of society (e.g. politics at every level, almost everything related to countries, governance in the public and private sectors). The minute someone comes up with a better system with less "holes" it will be quite the human revolution.
- jellicle 7y agoThere are different systems in use today. In many other countries, judges/prosecutors are charged with much more of a "figure out the true facts of what happened; do justice" role than they are in the US system. https://definitions.uslegal.com/i/inquisitorial-system/ https://definitions.uslegal.com/i/inquisitorial-system/
- rootusrootus 7y agoIs there evidence to suggest that those systems are more effective at finding the truth, or delivering justice?
- WilliamEdward 7y agoThat is a subjective question. I would argue things like paying for lawyers, paying your court fees even if you win (US system), and bail, cannot be an effective way to achieve true justice because they are all biased towards the rich.
- WilliamEdward 7y agoSurely you don't think there is no better or even alternative system to the trainwreck that is the US justice system? I'm not arguing to get rid of courts i'm arguing to change the way they are run. I don't see how this needs to be a revolutionary idea.
- viklove 7y agoWhat makes you characterize the US justice system as a "trainwreck?" Also, which existing justice system would you point to as a better example?
