More positive news from Israel

Aka the supreme court has done it again

After over a year of protesting by civilians (including me), Israel’s Supreme Court struck down Netanyahu’s judicial reform! Let’s go!!!

Not really the actions of a “terrorist state”, huh?

Saw a post about the sex offender list that kept repeating, "police love to get minorities for X crime" and I realized, both people who supposedly oppose the system and the system itself very intentionally frame police and police discretion as a more powerful and unilateral part of the system that it actually is, while ignoring or obscuring the rest of the system.

The DA's office decides what cases to drop and what to move forward with, and what punishments to request. The judges decide to throw out cases or let them continue, and then use judicial discretion in handing down sentences. And so on, I am not a legal expert yet, but there's a whole chain of people more powerful than some beat cop who chose to pursue or drop cases.

This all seems very convenient for the DA, as nobody is rioting to abolish or defund their office.

The top judge of New Brunswick's Court of King's Bench offered her "sincere apology" on Friday to two men who served lengthy prison sentences for a 1983 murder they didn't commit. Chief Justice Tracey DeWare said the justice system failed Robert Mailman and Walter Gillespie, who were convicted in 1984 of second-degree murder and received life sentences in the killing of George Gilman Leeman in Saint John, N.B. The federal justice minister overturned those convictions last month and ordered a new trial. "I wish to thank Mr. Mailman and Mr. Gillespie for their perseverance, while acknowledging this recognition is little comfort for the decades they spent under the shadow of this murder conviction," DeWare wrote. Her four-page decision came a day after the Crown announced it would not enter evidence in a new trial and she found the men not guilty.

look I think death note is a really poignant satire of the japanese justice system.

(im not japanese but i am american so. im not saying the japanese justice system is worse than my country's or anything)

japan has one of the lowest homicide rates in the world, and one of the reasons for that is because homicides aren't fucking reported as homicides. they're reported as heart attacks or suicides, because the japanese police just want to say that they have a low murder rate and a high solve rate for murder cases: on a personal level they want good numbers so they can get promoted, but on a societal level they want the police to remain the good guys in the eyes of the public. and that's light. "heart attacks" and "suicides" and "accidents" all actually murders, covered up to uphold the societal ideal of the law as the ultimate good.

in japan, 99% of people charged with crimes are convicted. innocent people falsely accused are put under enormous pressure to confess, at which point they often crack under the pressure and accept conviction. and that's L. he put a lot into the theory that light was the culprit even when he had nothing to go on and indeed evidence to the contrary, because he had no other suspects. and remember when he fucking had misa tortured ????? bound standing up with her eyes covered even when it couldn't have been clearer that they weren't going to get a confession out of her and it had been weeks? and he kept it up pretty much solely because he was too proud to admit that he had been wrong, or at least that this wasn't working.

in that way, light is the corrupt police force, and L is the corrupt judicial system. together they make the system of justice, but do either of them actually believe in that? they say they do, but light's "justice" is deference to the law, or rather, the status quo that the law represents; L's "justice" is having someone in prison, someone to blame, and the same perpetuation of the status quo. ideally they'd be able to keep each other in check - the police to arrest a corrupt judge, the court to convict a corrupt officer - but they're really exactly the same. light killed lind l. tailor, but L is the one who sent him to die.

it isn't 1:1 allegorical but it doesn't have to be. it's a thought-provoking and scathing criticism of what the japanese government calls justice. I think it's solid social commentary

Tyrion in his trial is not allowed to cross examine Cersei’s witnesses was that typical in medieval trials?

That was not unusual, no.

Indeed, William Garrow, a criminal defense barrister in the late 18th century was a major reformer in the adverserial legal system by innovating the practice of cross-examination as opposed to merely producing defense witnesses.

The BBC actually did a very good historical courtroom drama series based on his life's work:

it's real easy to say, "if anyone i know ever did 'x', i'd cut them out of my life so fast, there'd be a sonic boom!" but emotions aren't logical, and sometimes... it turns out to not be as easy as you though it would be.

aston kutcher is trying to support his friend, not the actions his friend was convicted of. not everyone can make that distinction. i'd say that i don't agree with him, but i did the exact same thing that kutcher did, quite recently. maybe that does make us both bad people... i don't know. but i have to be able to believe that the person that i always knew is still in there somewhere, despite what they admitted to being guilty of. i have to be able to believe that they can come back. i imagine that kutcher feels the same.

and for the record? those letters... they don't really work anyway. no one trusts them, and sometimes, the more support letters a person gets, the more it pisses the judge off. so kutcher was just as likely to have hurt masterson's situation, as we was to have helped it.

Benedict Cumberbatch reads one of Alexei Navalny's final letters

Last month Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critic, Alexei Navalny, paid the ultimate price for his beliefs, dying in a West Siberian prison after years of relentless campaigning against corruption and a near-fatal poisoning. By the time of his death, Navalny had been imprisoned for more than two years, during which time he wrote to his supporters and the wider world through letters shared on his social media accounts.

This is one of the last messages he wrote.

I just finished this book on the Soviet judiciary entitled Justice in Moscow by George Fifer and I was especially intrigued by their tendency to do all the investigation prior to the trial to minimise the chances of someone innocent getting called to the dock and maximizing the chances of the guilty being convicted. Along with the obshechevesvennosts who were elected by the work collective ( factory, collective farm, departmental store, etc) which recounted the life of the accused to the court and recommended the court to either maximise or minimise punishment. And that these obshechevesnnosts played a crucial role in chairing Comrade Courts and these were the judicial aspects of the withering of the state under communism which the 22nd CPSU Congress held to be in the near future and how many of these courts also served an educative purpose by holding seminars, open courts and lectures on socialist legality and its necessity in the building of communism.

"He Always Talks About the West"-Former University President Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison in China

A former member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and president of a prestigious university was sentenced to prison on charges of corruption and bribery. But among the reasons for his downfall are also his interest in the West and his alleged disregard for party discipline. An article in the latest issue of “China Discipline Inspection and Supervision Magazine” (中国纪检监杂志) reported that Li…
