Sorry for necroing, but I wanted to add something.
Perhaps we should focus on implementing stricter penalties for corrupt politicians. Putting them in jail for a significant period, if not for life, for example. Moreover, removing the option for them to appeal the verdict could guarantee justice and prevent prolonged legal battles that only serve to delay accountability.
Because as of now, as detailed by this
law firm, they can appeal the verdict if the jury was biased or committed some form of misconduct or legal errors were made during your trial. So we could take this option from them.
