I thought British legal system and computer forensics were serious but this case is just a travesty of justice.

The British legal system is and always has been a litany of injustices dressed up in formal attire. To be avoided at all costs.

That mess inspired the American legal system though, which is probably one of if not the best in the world.

IMO common law is still better than case law at least.

Poe's Law strikes again.

The American legal system isn't even the best legal system in the US.

Huh? What does this mean? Are there other systems in the US that I’m not aware of?

Indeed, and science can’t account for the wonders of indigenous ways of thinking either.
