@ChMadar in my understanding (which could be wrong) the Italian system has de novo review & lots of reversals on appeal, though; -1 for us? -
@saramayeux I don't doubt it! My comparison was not about procedure but the culture, quality and unhinged-ness of prosecutors. -
@ChMadar as in like, having some ppl who care about rules & stuff might be good, but not if they are given no limits (& the rules are dumb) -
@saramayeux You happen to know of any good (or even mediocre) scholarly work on comparative prosecutorial culture? -
@ChMadar not really, I actually have been wanting to find some good comparative stuff on criminal procedure. -
@saramayeux I just got a nice reading list on comparative sentencing, happy to share if you're interested. -
@ChMadar this article is pretty good on comparing overall legal cultures but doesn't get into nuts and bolts: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1283274 … -
@saramayeux Ah, that looks fab, thanks.
