Indian Justice System vs American Justice System - Page 2

There is no justice in Indian courts. The judiciary think they are some kind of protected species. At the slightest pretext, judges cry contempt of court. Corruption is so rampant in courts.

But better than Italy right? Now your'e guilty. Now your acquitted. Oh no just kidding, you're guilty again. Come back soon and rot in jail. Oh hahaha, kidding again. You'e acquitted, stay right where you are, you pretty face you. God I hope no Italians are on the forum. 😆

I am not aware of US justice system exact details. So I cannot comment or contrast with them.

Neither am I a blind defender of anything Indian.

There is corruption, delays, several pending cases, shortage of judges, lacunae in court management.
Many issues affect functioning of judicary. And yes influential people are able to twist the system due to their money, muscle power and high profile links.

Some positive examples have been there in recent times when even sons of high profile people finally got convicted for crimes they committed such as rape and murder. But these are still delayed, as well as rare.

You atleast know of Salman case. Ambani son's road rage incident was not even allowed to be covered by media.

Aaron Hernandez and the Steubenville case were positive aspects of the US justice system. Aaron Hernandez a major beloved celebrity got convicted in a speedy trial. In Steubenville popular white college bound guys were found guilty of rape and the character assassination of the flirtatious girl who was drunk underage with boys at the party didn't sway the jury.

The system isn't perfect though.

Casey Anthony was an utter failure where an obviously guilty person with changing excuses and plenty of circumstantial evidence was not convicted because there was not enough non circumstantial evidence. George Zimmerman was another failure where a man who disobeyed authorities and racially profiled and killed an unarmed black kid was another failure. The lack of indictment in the Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice deaths shows a pressing problem where cops get away with using deadly force on black people and not following continuum of force is a massive failure too.

I think the failure of trials and convictions in India is less of the justice system and more to do with hero worship and corruption. India also is a growing country with several competing needs. Unlike USA that can invest a lot on the justice system, India cannot invest as much because infrastructure needs are more pressing. On the whole though, justice system is weaker in India and can be improved.

But better than Italy right? Now your'e guilty. Now your acquitted. Oh no just kidding, you're guilty again. Come back soon and rot in jail. Oh hahaha, kidding again. You'e acquitted, stay right where you are, you pretty face you. God I hope no Italians are on the forum. 😆

Its up to the prosecution to prove such things . I mean OJ Simpson killed 2 people . I feel he was let go more so cause of racist cops than his being a celeb . They were tapes of like one of the arresting officer saying N word mad times . Now that shouldn't matter cause OJ killed 2 people . But those tapes obvious were a big reason he was acquitted . Would that ever happen in India ???

I think in the case of Zimmerman trial the prosecution didn't do a very good job of vetting the jury memebers. I can tell you at least one of them was a racist b!tch. After the verdict several talk shows invited different jury members and interviewed them. One of them flat out said that throughout the trial she kept asking herself what did Trayvon do to cause his own death.

In the Amanda Knox case I wonder how much of it was politics? Europeans generally don't have a high opinion of Americans. They think we are boorish, arrogant and even spoiled. Was the prosecution really looking for justice, or looking to not let the American brat get away with murder? I have also read bizarre articles that the original prosecutor was obsessed with witch craft and satan worshipping and such, and was trying to find ways to connect Amanda to these practices.

In the OJ Simpson case, the cop who was recorded saying the N word, the jury never got to hear those tapes or even know about them. The judge ruled that those tapes had nothing to do with the case, which it didn't. I think the glove not fitting really blew the case for the prosecution. The defense had to present reasonable doubt and in this case the prosecution did it for them.
