Past Cases => Current Case == Guilty

I gained a new way to look at law after watching this movie, court cases are nothing but a large proof or a computer program, the difference though is that a mistake and each proposition have a great burden associated with it and each and every mistake is extremely costly. What jury is trying to do is but to see if the proof or the program is correct. And the prosecutors are trying to raise proposition which brings out the truth with the original statement. In mathematics or computer science, one has perfect knowledge or at least enough to proceed forward, in the case of law this is not true. There are axioms which are the past judgments but as each theorem is unique each case is unique as well. In some sense, I find that the existence of this connection to be an important one to have to make sure we don’t go wrong with our decisions as a society as a whole.
