The case described by the parent is that of someone who was wrongly imprisoned for 10 months on the basis of bogus application of faulty technology, even though they had a solid alibi. Therefore, the comment does not reflect well on Russia, the Russian state or the Russian government, like.. at all.
If there is a propaganda dimension to this (which I doubt), it is certainly not an attempt to say something nice about the Russian justice system.
The comment I criticized falsely implies that there is due process in russia, and that technical faults lead to unfair results for the people who are accused of something.
It is a cherry-picked example, and the big majority of russian court cases are decided without due process, because it is a dictatorship. If you try to get justice because you were harmed by corrupt officials or the tzar you're out of luck. Lawyers are getting shot on the street as a birthday present for putin. There are lots of examples. And once you're in prison they'll send you to the frontlines to murder Ukrainians.
You wrote those comments in a very repetitive and mission-driven way. Which does not inspire confidence in the absence of ulterior motives.
The notion that this kind of thing couldn't happen in the west is laughable

In the article you linked, there is a criminal investigation, an audit and a re-test of evidence in order “to ensure the accuracy and completeness of its entire catalog of records because someone manipulated DNA evidence.
In russia, there is no investigation, because they make up evidence against their political enemies all the time. It feels like you have some incentive to miss the elephant in the room.
In democratic countries such errors with regards to forensic evidence spark news because it is so unusual. In dictatorships like russia, nobody expects forensic methods to be valid because the court verdict does not depend on evidence, it depends on your connections to the dictator.
Your false equivalency is to compare prosecution of criminal acts within western democracies with how criminal justice works in russia, which is a dictatorial, genocidal, imperialistic mafia state. You're using this subtle form of propaganda in order to make russia more relatable to audiences from democratic countries, while forgetting the fact that people go to prison in russia for just holding up an empty piece of paper.
Based on your other comments you seem like a tech person from the russian sphere of influence, I assume a russian who moved abroad. I cannot find more evidence of you using propaganda tactics, so I don't want to be too harsh on you.
However, please be aware that you cannot compare apples to oranges. In dictatorships like russia you can and will get killed if you position yourself against the tzar.
Maybe you'll recognize your cognitive dissonance and stop rationalizing that russia is in any way comparable to a democratic country. With this understanding, I think you'll notice that your whole comment is off-topic: Yes, dictatorships are more scary than democracies. Nobody needs to click on a link to lenta.ru and expose themselves to russian spyware to understand this point.
