Criminal Procedure Act (October 2020)

[New Rogernomics]

I think it would be a good idea to have an appeals process put into the court, and to only require two justices to hear a case, with one reserved for the final appeal.

As for why this is needed:

• It is self-evident in any legal case that either the defense or the prosecution may make a mess of their case, and an appeals process allows for either party to press their case a second time. Unless the appeal is a waste of the court's time, which I've accounted for by allowing the three justices to dismiss an appeal.
  
• Not every case requires three justices, as some cases may be open-and-shut, and not even require a criminal review appeal. So requiring all three justices to hear the case is a bit much, and may delay a verdict - especially if either party has a flaky case that no appeal could put in their favor, or if one of the justices is time-constrained or absent.
  
• It is a struggle to have three justices active around the clock, so feasibly it makes sense to only require three for appeal, as in most situations it is reasonable to assume that two justices can discuss a verdict and come to agreement - and the exception when two cannot. 
  
• Having one justice who is objective in a case is a good legal principle for appeals, as they are not party to the first case, but are party to the appeal and have fresh eyes to look at a case - and look beyond the last attempt to push a case.
