What I find truly amazing is those cases where the courts have ruled that there's new evidence in favor of innocence doesn't matter because of matters of procedure ("too late to appeal" etc). Why do even call it "justice system" if it's so obviously not about anything resembling justice?

There is an old adage about systems: at some point they grow to only care about themselves and not to provide the service for which they were created

I don't think it ever was different. It feels like all this stuff we tell ourselves about how it all _ought_ to operate is used mostly to justify what actually happens as "due process".
