Moving on to my comment specific to the "administrative arm". In a trial system the judge administers the trial in accordance to applicable law. In a jury system the jury weighs the evidence presented to reach a determination of "truth".
In your US context you may or may not be correct.
I do not know. I will not comment.
France is not the US.
In France a judge does not "administer" the trial. Amongst other tasks, he attempts to reach a determination of truth. And there are three of them to perform this task in this context.
Laws and procedures are different between different countries and cultures.
Are you as assured in knowing the difference between an inquisitorial system and an adverserial system as you assert to be about CofG calculations, for example?
No, I am sorry, SLFinAZ, I will not accept your rabid anti French musings.
You may be entirely correct about the underlying causes of this tragedy. Or you may be entirely wrong. Or you may be somewhere in between.
But you should hold a little respect for a judicial system which has just an illustrious history as yours.
