Of course I am entitled to many opinions and so are you. The Danish legal system might be different from the British or American legal system.

Not at all! Where do U think the Angles and the Saxons came from! HOO do YOO think U R anyhow?! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_law

The judicial functions of the Anglo-Saxon legal system was mainly practiced by courts. Once a charge had been brought, it had to be heard by a court which would decide whether or not a crime had been committed...All shires, or counties, were subdivided into hundreds. These hundreds were subdivided into tithings. The three type of division had three types of representatives as well: the tithings had a tithingman, the hundreds a hundredman and the shires a shire-reeve.
