Thanks, interesting article. I practised law in Australia and so am partial to the view that lawyers have a role in minimising the risk of wrongful conviction. But also acknowledge there is a risk of wrongly acquitting. Usually the social judgement is the risk of wrongly convicting is worse than the risk of wrongly acquitting.
But where Anglo American law falls short is that the wealthy have disproportionate influence in getting a wrongful acquittal.

Really enjoyed this, thank you! What are your thoughts on Dan Wang's thesis about China being an engineering society instead of a lawyerly society?
Also is it possible to watch this show w English subtitles?
