In addition to what people said, I will say this... the concept was good and interesting. Hence, why I gave it a 2. But the resolution of the episode is atrocious. Basically, instead of being genuinely found not guilty or guilty, the episode concludes with Woolsey finding out that one of judges is Genii. Now, grant it that one of the judge's relatives were killed by the Replicators, and she had a biased towards the defendants, but to have them win because of blackmail smacks of lazy writing.
I would've genuinely found them guilty (because that's what they are guilty of... either recklessness or depraved indifference) and then Woolsey makes an impassioned speech about being spared exile. But, we can't do that to our heroes...
