dunno about that stuff, but japan's legal system is really different from western ones. it's very much tilted against the defendant rather than for them.

Phoenix Wright and the Japanese legal system:

Do they just not arrest people unless they have ironclad evidence or does the situation really just suck that much?Possibly.
J. Mark Ramseyer of Harvard Law School and Eric B. Rasmusen of Indiana University examine if the accusation is in fact warranted. In their paper ("Why Is the Japanese Conviction Rate So High?") they examined two possibilities. One is that judges who come under the control of central bureaucracy are pressured to pass a guilty verdict, ensuring high conviction. Another possibility is that, given that the non-jury system under inquisition system has predictable ruling on guilt, Japan's understaffed prosecutors working on low budgets only bring the most obviously guilty defendants to trial, and do not file indictments in cases which have even minute chance of failure.[7][...]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_legal_system#Conviction_rate
The J-Police's method of choice is to haul in whoever they think did it, coerce them into signing a confession (whether or not they understand it is beside the point), and call it a day. So yeah, it does suck that much. Do not ever do anything to get the attention of the law here.
Is it true that a Japanese gentleman can legally kill someone who sexually abused his underage daughter?You asked this in the other Japan thread. What is it with you and this topic? Are you fronting for Fistful? It's still not true.
