The justice system, flawed as it may be, is the best we can do. It is right in the vast majority of cases and I suspect that far more criminals get away with it because of the flawed system than innocent people get punished by it. I have no statistics to back this up but on the basis of the number of scumbags you see walking out of court with a grin it seems a fair hypothesis. However, they have been found innocent and it is right that they should be freed. Just as if someone is found guilty they should be punished.

An analogy can be found in the moderation system here. It may be flawed, but it is the best we have. If you live here, you must live with the system!

Sad thing is that on some scores, Lizzie is right. The media circus involved should be removed from the justice system. I do not believe that we should know the identity of the accused before the verdict. There is nothing of 'the public interest' in it. It is only in the interests of the media moguls. Unfortunately, Lizzie, with her inimitable style has once again cuckolded a good argument. If the judgement against Harris is wrong then so could the one against Andy Coulson. I do not see Lizzie standing up for him though. Why is that?

Well, rhetorical question I suppose. What is the point...
