This reminds be so much of the novel The Trial by Kafka. The sinister feeling of a machine beyond anyone's control or comprehension was a commentary on authoritarianism and bureaucracy but it fits just as well, if not better to our age of computers making decisions in ways that will become increasingly hard to scrutinise. I hope this outcome finds its way into case books worldwide as a warning about placing too much faith in computer testimony over old fashioned human character witness and jurisprudence.
