72. I'd prefer that there were not these kinds of reports:
“Judging Dujail” reports previously undocumented and serious procedural flaws in the trial, including:

• regular failure to disclose key evidence, including exculpatory evidence, to the defense in advance;
• violations of the defendants’ basic fair trial right to confront witnesses against them;
• lapses of judicial demeanor that undermined the apparent impartiality of the presiding judge; and
• important gaps in evidence that undermine the persuasiveness of the prosecution case, and put in doubt whether all the elements of the crimes charged were established.

I have not delved into each of these points, I'm not a lawyer, nor do I pretend to have this knowledge. However I am unwilling to give this process the "benefit of the doubt." and judge it as fair "as could be expected"

I think that's a case of suffering from lowered expectations.
