Murray said (about Blake's second trial):
You first asked why the Federation authorities went to the trouble of conditioning the children to actually believe that they were molested by Blake. The reason was to make the charges seem convincing to anyone who recorded and later read or watched their accounts of what they said happened.
But I don't think that there was any public record other than the outcome of the trial, not the evidence itself
You're right in pointing out the fact that Varon was easily able to find that the children had been seen by Dr. Havant prior to the alleged
offences
occurring. Compared to what a lot of lawyers have to do, Varon had an easy time of it, in terms of finding the information; but he and Maja didn't have a chance once they found it.
Awww, bumping off a lawyer in the first episode is like Harry Cohn's funeral: "Give the audience what they want, and they'll all turn out"
The reason why the Federation went to all the trouble of fabricating the evidence and placing it into the 'marble' was to give the public the impression that Blake had received a fair trial.
But all they needed for the "marble" was a WRITTEN record that so-and- so testified that Blake did such-and-such on this-that-n-the-other date; they didn't need actual kids to believe it
The Judgement Machine wasn't tampered with; it was just fed the wrong data.
Precisely--but there are easier to ways to input the wrong data.
