    Not exactly unique to the US justice system, it’s a pretty common issue in western democracies.

    You’re very right that this is really bad psychologically and also stupidly expensive, but it’s a hard issue because you also need to be diligent to avoid wrongful convictions, which are also really bad psychologically (real perpetrators get off free, and law-abiding people lose faith in the system even more).
