Most of it is done in print.
I think we keep waiting for some flashy lawyer who is the master of the public relations campaign to emerge but most of these people are brainiacs who are masters of the written word. They don't have to play to a jury or to the public from which a jury may be selected. They only have to make the best written argument.
This is the reason for all of the secrecy. Their justice system is epitome of deals made in the smokey back-room. Nothing is out in the open because it doesn't have to be. Public opinion means nothing to these people and I believe that is why they can't or won't see why this is such a PR debacle.
This is also why Joran has so many lawyers. They're researching and writing. All they have to do is sway the opinion of one man and doing this by bashing the victim, victim's family, etc. is all right in their minds because the judge is only going to look at their briefs from a legal standpoint and there lies the problem. In the US Joran would be convicted by a jury of his peers on the most minute piece of circumstantial evidence because of his lies and arrogance.
On Aruba none of that will come into play.
Just an observation on my part. Now I'll crawl back under my rock.

From SM:
Souza on Crier: APPARENTLY there is physical evidence of Joran sexually abusing natalie: thats it. no details.
The "International Court" and the other world proceedings in "The Hague" are basically the same system. The ramifications of what you described in your post are immense, IMO.
"Their justice system is epitome of deals made in the smokey back-room. Nothing is out in the open because it doesn't have to be. Public opinion means nothing to these people..."
This is what keeps the caste system in place.
