I really hope so. I had always assumed our system's were quite similar.

****ing awesome justice system is it not?  |
Yeah, my faith in our judiciary is sinking.

It's a joke.

Yes, and most incredible thing is that there is always "the second chance". About ten years ago there was case of (not-so-)gentleman who was on police's custody on suspicion of muder for
third time. He got conviction of murder, was pardoned, commited another within month, got convicted , pardoned and (according to police) commited anaother murder within a week...
I didn't follow that case any further so don't know if he was convicted or not.
This system is a joke!
