And let's not forget the plea bargain. Very few other places use it, and those that do, use it a very tiny fraction of what the US does.

- giantg2 4y agoPlease bargains themselves aren't terrible. They're only bad because the trial wait times and bail conditions are so bad that innocent people are accepting a plea bargains. If the rest of the system was fair, like with reasonable bond and not waiting years for a trial, then it could still be a valid tool. I won't hold my breath though.
