trully unbelievable, i lose faith in thr justice system day by day

>>Clumsy+4t4
The justice system does the best it can with the information it has. It is far from perfect. It makes horrible mistakes all the time. The problem, of course, is improving it without knock-on effects making it worse.

There are huge swaths of people doing the work required to make it better, every day. It's not as easy as turning a dial from "bad" to "good"

>>parl_m+Qz4
There are also huge swaths of people actively trying to make it worse, that's what the FBI did (does?) for years when it knowingly pushed junk forensics.

Or what basically every prosecution does, when it knows that the science behind some things isn't airtight but still presents it in the best possible light to get a conviction.
