Aside from the specifics of this case, it is high past time for the mechanics of the legal system to be reformed. In this context, precedent needs to be entirely thrown out, and the final decision on limitations to appeals and the mechanics of the legal process need to be rethought, with significant input by entities outside of the legal profession. Attorneys and judges have proved themselves incapable of self-policing. Legal reform is absolutely necessary. The law, like journalism, is an essential and critical component of our Republic, but it has been hijacked. The intent of the law, rather than the nuanced and mutable ‘letter of the law’ needs to be resurrected as a determinant of legal decisions.
