No shit.
I get the concept in long term law of benefit of the doubt and presumption off innocence, and I accept that, and that is right. But this judge hamstrung the prosecution from the start. If I was Kyle's defense lawyer I would do the same things for him he has done. But a judge also at the same time should not act in bias, and this one blatantly has from the start.
Yeah, no shit.
So many people seem to be under the false impression that even relatively free countries such as the US and Oz have justice systems. We don't. We have legal systems.
From time to time justice is done and is seen to be done. This is due to happy accident, not intent.
