The justice system in the US is so infuriatingly bad, I don’t even know where to start when it comes to fixing it. The class issues are enormous; if you’re wealthy enough to be able to defend yourself, you’ll still only be treated with something only loosely approximating fairness at absolutely best. However, if you can’t afford tens of thousands for an attorney, experts, etc, you’re pretty much fucked. We need to seriously rethink how we treat the accused in this country, from automatic sanctions that are applied to any accused, to how much leeway the police and justice system have to destroy people’s lives before there’s even been any evidence presented of an actual crime.
