I'm thinking about how much their incentivization might have influenced them. One fundamental difference between German and Anglo-American law is the prosecuter's task, as mandated by law. In the US it is to get as many convictions as possible (guilty or not). In Germany, the law wants a prosecutor to "find out the truth and use all evidence against AND also for a defendant". Methinks the former case is one of the driving forces behind the "Bazaar" mentality.
