And then S1E2 of Spiral to round things off. The French legal system seems extremely odd; this business of prosecutors turning up at crime scenes is a bit weird but presumably similar to the way American DAs get involved in things (cf The Wire), but that they all report to the judge who apparently tells them what and what not to investigate… how the hell can the judge decide on a case when he decided what should be investigated? It makes no sense at all

Still, that's the French for you, I suppose

Apparently the judges who control investigations aren't the same as the judges who handle trials; though they can be moved between the two different roles, they don't do both at the same time. It's all something to do with the French having an inquisitorial system, rather than the adversarial system we have.

Just goes to show, foreigners often have their own ways of doing things which seem perfectly normal to them even though they're different to the ways we do things, which are normal

Morning all

A bit murky out and my head is a tad fuzzy, so probably not such a bad thing that I'm in the office today.

Morning denizens

It was nice and grey with a pleasantly cool breeze through the kitchen window when I opened it, but in the last few minutes the sun has come out. But the forecast is that this should be a temporary blip, going back to grey with showers later
