Sometimes it seems to be a national hobby to criticize American criminal justice as overly-concerned with the rights of the accused and indifferent to the rights of victims. Well, for contrast, take a look at Saudi Arabian ‘justice’.
Reports of the story triggered debate about Saudi Arabia’s legal system, in which judges have wide discretion in punishing a criminal, rules of evidence are shaky and sometimes no defense lawyers are present. The result, critics say, are sentences left to the whim of judges.
