Obviously I have sympathy for the justice system though when a bad person walks free or an innocent person gets wrongly convicted, because unfortunately evidence can sometimes lead you down the wrong path.

Honestly, the UK system is ridiculous, and sometimes I despair of it. I read my local newspaper and am appalled at the number of people who are charged with serious assaults, yet walk away with a suspended sentence. A woman was in court for stabbing someone twice in the head and once in the leg, yet she didn’t serve time! Like why!? I know that no justice system is perfect but this just wouldn’t happen in somewhere like the USA, and it shouldn’t happen here.
