Fair enough, but why is it seen as a means of circumventing our own courts?
Well, it's no different than the appeals system; it just happens to be the last step.
Actually I was quite amazed recently on the decision in Italy regarding the murder of Meredith Kercher.
The two accused originally found guilty, then, on appeal, not guilty have now been declared guilty again.
Meanwhile a third accused has been guilty all along.
Is the only conclusion to be drawn from this that no one knows?
