Until you get to the second order effects. If we want to find a cure for some disease, but we don't have enough people to do experiments on (maybe a lot of eligable prisoners died in previous trials) judges now have an incentive to hand out life sentences to people with that medical condition

Even just subconsciously that would have an effect

Replace judges with artificial intelligence. People are fallible. Future AI will be not. It won’t have vices, it won’t have the burden of emotions. It cannot be bribed, threatened or blackmailed.

Justice should be blind.

		That won't create justice, only judges that forever encode current prejudices

		There’s literally nothing pointing towards this direction, rather the opposite. Also the problem is not only judges, but the scope of detective work being done and when the crime was discovered etc. Judging comes last, but I guess we could deploy the infallible robot police squad which will do a flawless crime scene analysis etc.
