Believe it or not that happens in Canada too. It just so happens that the most infamous cases are American. Probably because they tend to sensationalize everything. But its not some American dominant thing, it can happen in any country where there's a jury and the burden of proof is on the prosecution.
Cherry picking cases is all you are doing and that is the most illegitimate way to prove a point.

If you feel it is in good taste, you can "I told you so" in a few years if there is an acquittal.

Moving on.
