The Russian "justice" system has a conviction rate of 99.3%. It's safe to say they're giving large swathes of completely innocent people the death penalty here - people who are someone's father, child, or friend.
Is that the system you see as exemplary for the west? Are these the Russian family values I'm always hearing so much about?
It's at a similar level as Japan.
I'm generalizing here, but Asian cultures don't like being wrong so it's far more common for a case to never go to trial than for it to go to trial and end up with an acquittal.
