The whole game of getting people like this murderer off on technicalities and thin legal chicanery started with the Abuse Excuse in the 80s. The byproduct of that was an expansion of DEI “oppressions” (being poor, black, an immigrant who didn’t know any better, PTSD etc) being used as mitigation.

Wokery isn’t the cause, it’s the end result.

Backtrack and you can see, in the UK and Europe as well as the USA,

1. the legal profession inventing a license to print money when representing the defense even in the most incontestable slam dunk cases.

2. The judicial system allowing precedents from (1), no matter how outrageous, to steer the outcome of subsequent trials.

3. Plea bargaining and bail being exploited on an industrial scale.

What this means is there’s no money in prosecution these days as all the cards are stacked against the prosecution. There’s no money in it even if you win.

In the UK, you can’t even get a lawyer to take on a private prosecution. It’s too high risk. But if you’re in need of defense representation and can afford it, your phone will be ringing off the hook with offers of representation.

The whole system of custom, law and precedent needs complete overhaul. Custom and Precedent, combined with an industry created to get the guilty off or get them a negotiated lesser sentence, mean that executive orders and updated guidance to judges law won’t make much difference.

The solution to this isn’t going to be a war on DEI. That’s like putting a sticking plaster on a shoulder stab wound while ignoring the corotid arterial spray above it.
