It sounds good on paper, but you have to realize that being able to "hold them accountable" would impossibly tie up the judicial system that's already overloaded. Every man or woman who felt like they got a raw deal in a lawsuit or custody battle would sue the judge and/or prosecutor. (Not that I'm saying they didn't completely screw up on this one.)

That's true. But, there is professional review of professional standards, not to mention many states either elect or confirm their judges by voting. Judges who let heinous criminals off with a comparative slap on the wrist need to be removed at the earliest chance offered by that state's constitution. We can no longer stand for this. The loss of life, even one, is too much.
