I would say not. The Christian god's justice, as far as literal interpretations go, is as follows: create beings, create laws that you know they won't follow, demand the death penalty for those who break the laws, sacrifice an innocent life, forgive the guilty. Most people, I'd think, would realize that the third party justice system is not a legitimate system of justice. I cannot foresee many Christians being pleased with the America justice system if there were a serial robber/rapist/killer on trial, who was acquitted so long as the thanks the innocent person who was killed in his place.
I think this sort of obvious wrong justice systems is also evidence of the fact the the bible is not actually for literal interpretation. A figurative interpretation makes all these problems not problems at all.
