I agree with many of your criticisms of the US court system, but disagree with your characterization of the UK system. In the US (many, but not all) prosecutors are directly politically motivated, but in the UK they are largely bureaucratically motivated, as are a large number of US prosecutors who are in the lower ranks, and not subject to direct elections or high-level oversight. Some may regard bureaucratic motivations as more 'enlightened', 'nicer', and 'more impartial', but they are really just slightly different from political motivations. I would further argue that prosecutors' motivations are very similar in both countries. At the highest levels, the prosecutors are subject to political pressures and incentives whether due to direct elections, appointments, or oversight; at the lower levels, the lawyers are part of a bureaucracy with all that entails.
