I am just adding a small note to back up what Kate Powell has said about Chantal's case.  I have written to her and am utterly on her side but I do agree that criticizing USA justice could be counter productive.
I think UK justice is pants as well a lot of the time. Injustice is everywhere and in all countries. True, this happened in the US, but focus on the injustice of the actual case rather than which country it happened in.  I fear it could hinder Chantal's case to focus on the US 'angle'.
