> On the other hand, procedures are such that trials are dispatched quickly at reasonable cost. There is virtually no room for the procedural/technical shenanigans that drag out litigation in the US and make it so expensive. That's the key issue. If legal costs weren't so high, they could try to achieve actual justice. Also, if it weren't so dragged out, people could get back to their lives more quickly. Even if someone did commit a misdemeanor, why should they have to spend 5 years with it hanging over them, not knowing what the verdict will be?
