Comment on What's the difference between the UK justice system and the U.S. justice system?

Not just judges! Also the coroner! Think about what kind of nasty shit goes down when the government lies about when someone dies. Many small towns across the US had that issue in the 1900s, so a lot of states replaced the position with a medical examiner (requires an actual medical degree to be licensed).
