My point is that the trial is clearly meaningless in the greater scheme of the story and worthless for providing any information for speculation on what actually happened. I'm cautioning against viewing it with anything but the harshest cynicism, because it is deeply flawed. And I'm not sure it's actually consistent at all, either, but even if it were it is - as you said - fundamentally unfair.
Aspects of the story before this point have been useful both for speculation and entertainment. Ange's story provided reliable information even though it wasn't entirely within the "rules" of the storyline. The meta-trial in ep5 is different. It is very entertaining, but also very distracting, and I think it's done very intentionally to hide something important.
