If you're willing to imagine that much, why not a system which actually
is perfect?

Then by that standard, here is a system which I predict would be 100%
"error" free and can be implemented with today's technology, without
further incursion on individual rights, and would save billions in
taxpayer dollars: only allow convictions and punishments for crimes in
the USA, if they occur in the presence of all the Supreme Court
Justices, they all witness the crime taking place, and they and all
other independent witnesses can agree on what happened, with the
cooperation of the accused and their defense team, who would not be
underpaid public defenders, but who would be paid $20 million dollars
per case they win. As in "Minority Report" all those currently
incarcerated must be immediately freed, because the current corrupt
system which knowingly punishes innocents is obviously unacceptable.

Forget the greater amount of wrongdoing and victims which would be
ignored, I am addressing further reduction of wrongful convictions,
another issue the writer conveniently ignores along with the lives of
an alleged 3400 innocents and their loved ones.
