Is America that corrupt too?

It's hard to say. The criminal justice system here was designed with the idea that it's supposed to be hard to convict people. That's why we have "beyond a reasonable doubt" as a standard. Growing up, we're all taught, "better that 10 guilty people go free than that one innocent person goes to prison". My gut feeling is that it's the high standard of proof that's delaying an arrest in the first case.

But, yeah, the second case feels a lot more like corruption. Especially when you start digging into the dizzying rat's nest of conflicts and other irregularities that I have glossed over in these articles. Maybe someone could reach a different conclusion, but it's very hard for me to believe that the Greenberg death has been handled "above boards".
