Easy, Tiger
Might I suggest you’re just playing here. Clearly you get it, and he/she does not. Bit rude, I might suggest for you to just keep toying with an already slain prey (whether the prey knows it or not). There’s something, at least (and if only by virtue of events), which separates us from the beasts.
The Rule Of Law.
Oh, how glorious and imperfect it is.
It’s complex, it has a philosophical root which rips religion a brand new hole to inexpertly fill; that of evidence.
But you presumably know this. Yet avoid it in order to have some fun. Either educate the guy or don’t. Toying is undignified.
@ Serpentdove
The complicated bit about any and all of this, and the bit ‘TownHeretic’ is avoiding in berating you is that the system that exists is one that is post religion.
Most legal systems, and all those in the Western world (which includes SA) are built upon the post-christian model of The Enlightenment. Namely that of evidence and the principle of Innocent Until Proven Guilty (usually as stated by a jury of one’s peers, though that is not the case in this SA trial). The principle is sound, but the results can vary due to the subjective nature of the system. Modern civilisation has judged this system as more productive than the previous, arbitrary, systems applied by religious regimes. It is a secular answer to a common problem.
One has to ask oneself what an alternative would look like, how it would be enacted, and whether it would stand up to scrutiny.
While ‘TownHeretic’ is being obtuse, he’s circling around asking how it could be done differently, in view of the fact that we do not live in a Theocracy.

Why use 25 words when you could use 294?

I would support Judge Jeanine.  The Supreme Court is not a place of worship.

Of course you would (Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10).  Laws come from God not man (1 Ti 1:8-10, Ac 5:29).

Jesus freed us from the law.

Then what do you need a court for? 1 Ti 1:9.  Let it all hang out.

We need a court because it's a branch of the US government and it is in the Constitution.

Good luck with that.  When our nation is judged and you wonder why— start by looking in the mirror (Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10).
