At some point you guys should probably realize that your government is completely f**k up, in a very violent way.
Mine isn't any better, mind you, just way less powerful. Which is cool by me. I just think you guys have got an insane executive branch over there, and your policing and criminal justice system is completely out of control.

This happened like 20 years ago, I remember the murder because it happened in the neighborhood my pop lives in. The guys just now got out of prison and now their trying this guy who prosecuted him for covering up evidence that would have possibly exonerated him.
I'm not sure how much of this was due to just plain malfeasance on the part of the prosecution and how much was due to the tendency of cops and prosecutors to immediately blame family members or acquaintances because they are in fact the guilty party in most murders.
Either way failed justice for the lose. I think the guy ought to serve 20 years, the same as the guy he wrongfully imprisoned.
