Jesus Christ is one of most significant people to be arbitrarily arrested and denied a fair trial in history. Does the way he was treated give us another perspective on current attacks against the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and efforts to streamline the criminal justice system?
The story of Jesus’s arrest, trial and death is well known. Accused of heresy by the High Priest Caiaphas and Supreme Judge of Judea, he was brought before a Sanhedrin court at night. Witnesses were fabricated and although they were found to have lied, they were not punished.
