Mind you, there's nothing to stop the guy suing his original lawyer for failing to do a proper job. That would be an interesting case.
You can never have 100% faith in the system, because it's run by humans. The important thing is that there is a system, and it should be open and fair to all.

Yeah, what he ^^^^^^ said.
There is a retrial, so if he is guilty, then he'll go down again, it will just cost us a bit more. He is remanded in custody, which should reassure people. I can't see anything to be worried/upset about here.
