The adage "we have a legal system, not a justice system" is repeated ad nauseam in these cases. But thinking about it: what if we were to have none, neither legality, nor justice, but simply randomness, fiat fortuna, et pereat mundus [1]. An example in this case would be: instead of all the boring legalese, the high-paid BigCons [2], and the unfulfillable expectation of pristine judgements, to have just a coin flip: 50% chance for guilty, 10 years jail, 50% chance free as a bird. Skew it even further, for every person killed or $1 million stolen add some percentages to the guilty chance and some years to the penalty. Solve every lawsuit in a matter of seconds, nothing to debate [3], no false belief of fairness or equity, just sheer, dumb luck, for the society or for the accused.
