All we'd have to do is completely ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Also, maybe China could automate tanks so that, the next time there's an uprising of the citizenry, they don't have to ask a human soldier to run over anybody standing in the way of Chinese "justice".]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2006 8:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese software dishes out criminal court verdicts]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</guid><description><![CDATA[Its probably randomly picks from a list of verdicts; even that would be more fair than their current system.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[OPTICAL OUT PLEASE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2006 8:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese software dishes out criminal court verdicts]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's just an RNG that picks either 0 or 1, which 0 being not guilty.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2006 8:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese software dishes out criminal court verdicts]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</guid><description><![CDATA[there's no such place as Shangdong province in China<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[genexk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2006 9:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese software dishes out criminal court verdicts]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</guid><description><![CDATA[Very interesting. I like it strictly for academic study purposes (i.e. criminal justice). It could also be very helpful to jury selection consultants, the media during wedding cake trials, and maybe even as a argument during appeals. Saying that, I hope they decide against using this software as the primary judge during cases.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[D]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2006 9:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese software dishes out criminal court verdicts]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</guid><description><![CDATA[Of course it's only comparing previous verdicts to similar cases. This is how it's done by U.S. lawyers using rulings from former cases of x vs. y to juxtaposition the case at hand. <br><br>Considering the the case of the present U.S. administration who e g denies prisonners the right to a fair trial, one must understand that the paradigm of an impartial jurisdiction and the infallability of the courts are mere myths. <br><br>Of course chineese leaders who are 'also' quite aware that having the power to mess with Human Rights and the inclination to act accordingly will never cause them any problems.<br><br>Human beings are deprived of Human Rights not only directly by U.S. and chineese leaders but also through decisions made in U.N. <br><br><br>A computer program wouldn't treat these leaders differently were they to be tried for their deeds!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[makelle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2006 10:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Chinese software dishes out criminal court verdicts]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/13/chinese-software-dishes-out-criminal-court-verdicts/</guid><description><![CDATA[smell the briefs, eh?
