The American system doesn’t actually work and needs to be modded, that’s what it shows, and people need to be willing to change their moral outlook to make it happen. That doesn’t mean accepting torture or the other stupid horrific shit people decided was okay back in the 00’s. It means come up with and try a newer, better system based on today’s technology and values.
This is nested so deep in such an old thread no one will see it, but I thought I’d chime in anyway.
This system in NL - indeed much of the EU/UK - is almost this slow too. Part of it (in the EU) is we do not use common law system like N America and the UK but rather the civil law system. But that only accounts for a part of it. Here we really do have the innocent before proven guilty thing happening. Most countries do not allow suspects full name to appear in the paper. Dave Smith would be “D Smith” in a newspaper article.
It can really suck here too, and frankly we get people offending while awaiting trial far more often than we should. I think the main difference is that in general we do not have the same level of violent (physical or economical) crime that the States does.
Anyway as a former American I shit on American systems a lot and in many cases rightfully so. But not in this case, as much as I desperately wish the Georgia trial would start the next day after he surrenders.
