I think it reflects a growing consensus that there is something gone very wrong in the justice system.

Where did "the justice system" go wrong in this case? I generally agree with the sentiment, but it looks like this case adhered to the law very well.

Dislike of a verdict and/or penalty is not necessarily evidence of failures in the justice system.

The prosecutors failed the people of Virginia by offering the "nolo" deal. The judge failed the people on Virginia by imposing a light sentence.

Maybe "failure" is not the word I am looking for. How about miscarriage?
