- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoMhm. The Ace Attorney series of games is a parody of this ridiculous justice system.
- ekianjo 11y agoI hope you never took any of these games seriously.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoThey are significantly exaggerated, but there's a grain of truth to them.
- sandworm101 11y agoThe US conviction rate is upwards of 90% in many areas, especially federal cases. Given how eagerly US police arrest at the drop of a hat, and how hesitant the Japanese are about arrests, their respective conviction rates would seem comparable.
