What do you mean by moral responsibility? Because not everyone agrees with your subjective definition, it means different things to different people. People who commit evil use moral responsibility as a justification to commit evil because they see it differently. Just take a look at any of the events going on like Israel-Palestine or any geopolitical issue. Nazis justified their actions using moral responsibility to uphold their tribe. If everyone had the same idea of moral responsibility, crime, genocide, or wars wouldn’t exist.

Personally, I see injustice as being immoral. It isn't rocket science what judge and a jury are trying to do. In the US a jury is made up of twelve people. Sometimes the venue is moved because finding unbiased "peers" can often be tricky, but for the most part, justice gives what is often considered as an unbiased balanced approach to two parties in tension.

Moral responsibility is different from morality. The Nazis were responsible for persecuting Jews and they would have admitted that, but they did not think it was morally wrong. There is wide variation between different cultures and different historical eras in what is considered morally right and wrong, but less variation in the criteria for responsibility.
