I didn't mean to imply that your desire was to debate whether the justice system worked or not. I was stating my preference, primarily to avoid a pointless argument about child killers.
Back to your original point summarized in the latest reply, I am one of the people who think the convicted felon in this case should be thrown in jail. It's obvious to me, but clearly it is not obvious to you. That leads me to wonder whether you think punishment for any conviction is ever warranted, or indeed, whether it's fair to even have trials?
I can agree that law and absolute justice are two separate concepts. I am thrilled to live in America and reap the benefits of our justice system. I am not naive and I don't think it's perfect or even close to perfect. On the other hand, I think the primary goal of the justice system is to maintain order in the society, and our system appears to do that very well.
