The American justice system is the most inequitous, unfair and corrupt of it's kind wnywhere in the developed world. In fact, amongst 1st world countries, it without a shadow of a doubt the WORST justice system. And it's not even close.

This is an absurd claim. Italy, for instance, has significant levels of judicial corruption and more importantly perceived corruption. While I agree that Americans tend to just assume they have the best institutions, you weaken your credibility by overstating your case so strongly.

You are absolutly correct that Italy has a shockingly corrupt political system. Absolutely no doubt. Without doubt amongst the most corrupt and dysfunctional political system in the 1st world.

But the political system is not the same thing as the justice system, which in Italy, is perfectly average in terms of it's "fairness". The insanity of the political syatem does not, for the most part, spill over into the mainsatream justice system.

So I totally refute that I overstated my argument at all: America has by far the most unfair justice system of any 1st world country.

If Italy is the best you can come up with to counter that opinion, then your argument is lost.
