He studied von Karma in school back in the day? He makes it sound like the old man was ancient history.
...Which probably isn't a terrible stretch because he was absolutely a living fossil for awhile there, but that's besides the point.]

Because what he's not saying, are the backhanded references to some of the dealing and corruption that occurs within the system at a fundamental level. In fact, that very corruption is what drives the system and keeps it going, after a point.
...Seeing someone with such an untainted view of things was almost as refreshing as it was jarring. Is this guy a new prosecutor? Surely, he must be, if he's not anywhere as jaded as the others and still clinging to such bright idealism.]
