Well, I get your point. I like its optimism. My insiders take is that it suffer from the same whistful myopia that most outside of the system experience: maybe the will help all of the system. My experience is that it typically does not, but stranger things have happened.

We see these every day, all the time. They aren’t new, just new to the collective “you.” With sympathetic white defendants, we see the benevolence of her (Justicia’s) grace. With the non-white, the depth and breath of her fury.

Balanced justice for white defendants doesn’t infect all of the judicial system largely because the “system” isn’t racist. The system, in that sense, is not a thing but a collection of people. Where racism is found, it’s found in the people pulling the levers. This outcome does not move us closer to systemic judicial equality. It re-affirm individual baseline assumptions, and then those individuals go their merry way.

The centries-old system has always been a collection of Rittenhouse outcomes. What gains it has made have been made at gunpoint . If they were infectious, we would not be so chronically sick after all these days.

I like your optimism though.
