Americans should be more grateful they live in a country where a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty instead of bitching on social media if they don't like the outcome of a case. Some perspective is helpful. I doubt North Korea has a legal system slightly better than "show trial then execution". Regardless of the opinion one may have on "that" case making headlines over there, it really is disgraceful how the media has made a big deal out of it.
You know, media don't really add anything useful when it comes to court cases. Think about it. All they do is rile up people's emotions; no doubt to get ratings. They put pressure on prosecutors and provide attention to other opportunistic, amoral, populist hacks who just want to soak up the spotlight. The result? Usually overcharging the suspect until the list of alleged crimes amount to little or nothing. I don't like the media butting it's brown nose in things they don't understand or really care about. The media can invite all the spotlight hogging, "legal analysts" they want but it doesn't really change anything other than public opinion and public opinion is the last thing that should ever matter in court.
They're like vultures picking on the carcass of a dead horse.
