This is exactly it.
I met a criminal defense lawyer once. She said that she was more of a libtard when she first began and now she's even more radical than I am.
According to her, the number of times all the evidence is there to put a murderer or a rapist away, but somehow a judge finds a "precedent" or a "fault in protocol" and dismisses the entire case.
Mind you that France has Roman Law and not Common Law. Almost everything is codified.
