  • The essay puts together a number of things we know and have talked about, occasionally adding a claim that would be good to have sourced, but isn't. In the end, trials both increase and decrease anxiety, are and are not independent of the news coverage, and--apparently--involve only a few people a year. That there are trials not covered by any press, that those are the overwhelming majority of trials, that even more than trials there are guilty pleas--and that therefore the majority of crime victims will never see a trial of the matters that arise out of the incident that harmed them--remains unsaid, and therefore, of course, unanalyzed. Whole paragraphs are devoted to phenomena as rare as hailstorms in the discussion of domestic water supply. What trials are to the criminal justice system should surely begin with "uncommon." What this essay needed was a clearer thesis, shorn of cliche and silent on what everyone always says, that emerged from seeing trial with fresh eyes.
