This works both ways, if the system is biased towards the accused so there is an unfair chance of acquittal do the case also get dismissed or the crimes ignored?


We rightly speak out against unjust regimes or systems that use the legal system to persecute or where wealth/position can buy or influence an outcome but is there the same degree of corruption in this case? #


How would the system in the US need to change to prevent "weaponising" the judicial mechanisms? If the judicial system is politically influenced how can you prosecute (or defend) any political figure?
