Not being able to save an injustly, if lawfully, accused man for the crime of not knowing all the paperwork a disgusting flaw in our system.

According to the USDOJ statement, he was importing wild-harvested members of Peruvian endangered species. The issue wasn't that he didn't fill out all the paperwork; it's that the paperwork he filled out was fraudulent, designed to cover up the fact that his "investment income" was from poaching from among the last remaining wild exemplars of a dying species.

You shouldn't have regained your faith.
