Broadly? I thinks that's a very American centric perspective. About the last system of justice I'd like to find myself at the mercy of outside those in totalitarian countries is the American one.
It has earned itself an awful reputation, in Europe, at least. It's such a shame that countries like the UK appear to be behaving like client states of America.
- jedberg 6y agoI agree with you. That's why I said, "it's highly unlikely he would be treated fairly or get a fair trial. "
- mnm1 6y agoIt has earned itself an awful reputation in America too amongst the people who understand it. Unfortunately, most Americans are too stupid to understand it or too hateful to even try.
- american_aurora 6y agoI think this is a ridiculous perspective, especially when virtually every European countries is on the inquisitorial system. (See The Trial.) It is my opinion that the US is probably one of the best countries when it comes to the rights of a defendant ― well, before a guilty verdict. I ask that you actually take a look at some of the kinds of people who run the federal courts in the United States. See something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXv7anhiIBY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXv7anhiIBY. These are serious legitimate people who are working in and trying to improve a highly developed yet highly imperfect legal system (and country).
