@TetraspaceWest: The average voter doesn’t understand why criminals get trials. Giving innocent people trials, sure, then they get to prove their innocence. But criminals? That just sounds like an expensive process between them and their imprisonment, and gives them a chance to wriggle out of it. You can see the intuitive model of how criminal justice works in shows, where cops identify criminals, and then have to come up with a way to trick the legal system (which wants criminals to sometimes walk free) into imprisoning the criminal.
