This one is great but my favorite piece of Victorian slang has to be calling cops “mutton shunters” the same way we call them pigs nowadays. It just has so much character
Due process is not, cannot, and never has been intended for people accused of what they did. It is for the people who are innocent or accused in a higher degree than they actually did. If we somehow magically knew who was guilty before the trial then we wouldn’t have a judicial system in the first place. The point of the trail it to try to figure out if they committed the crime or not.
I haven’t studied this in depth, but from everything I know the single biggest and most essential barrier against fascism and authoritarian rule is due process. I think it is even more important than free speech which might be a hot take because free speech is also absolutely essential, but without due process there can be no freedom.
