The bill is good overall. I like the combination of the old laws into this one. Preventing double-trials and supporting witnesses is also good. I also like the possibility of a second trial with new info... I say it makes sense. Although, I'm a bit concerned about some unclear sections and having limitations where we search for evidence. Despite that though, I'm leaning towards approving this bill. Overall, it's an improvement for the regions justice system.
