Playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and honestly my job as a defence attorney would be SO much easier if the jury would quit finding my client guilty in the middle of the trial. smh my head

@smokey That would be hilarious. The first Phoenix Wright game had a throwaway line about how the courts got so backed-up they moved to a system called "initial trials" where the trial is only three days long and anyone found guilty is then moved along to a higher court for a serious trial, but they never really mentioned that again. (And it doesn't make a lot of sense since *most* verdicts in Japanese courts, at least at the time, were guilty verdicts, so this would just make the system take even *longer*. Unless anyone found guilty at an initial trial was heavily pressured to plead guilty in the for-real trial, maybe?) · 2 years ago
I sometimes hear laywers, attorneys and people in the legal system complain about how movies, TV, and games cut out the boring stuff for the sake of time/entertainment. Id love a phenoex wright spinoff where you have to wait actual months in real life for a court date and most of the game is tedious legal proceedings with 15 minutes of the pheonex wright cross-examination stuff. · 2 years ago
