you can think of millions of different solutions and still be creative, but I think people are more interested in useful solutions. I don't think the US is going to model their justice system on Bedouin vendettas.

Ever heard of the Hatfields and McCoys? The US did historically model its justice system on vendettas at certain points. It's the idea of mercy that I think would be interesting (though I can now see that expecting Americans to appreciate this is too much).
The US historically didn't let women vote and let people own slaves, I don't think justifying things based off the US's historical practices is very useful either. I think we can just say the justice system should be merciful without going back to Jordanian Bedouins or the hatfields and McCoys.
