Also, the hoops you need to jump through to get a Not Guilty verdict.
I believe part of that is culture clash, with Japan having at least an unofficial policy of presumed guilty. Although yes it does get ridiculous.

The other part is fairly simple, it's not an attorney game. Yes, it's an attorney story, but the gameplay is that if a detective game and the story bends around that. It's why an Edgeworth spinoff was obviously going to happen. It plays fast and loose with the actual purpose of trials to facilitate the gameplay.

Although it can be surprisingly realistic at times, literally the only time anybody represents themselves they're stuck between that or getting the most incompetent representative the culprit can dump on them.

Also Maya, it's fine to get possessed by your older sister, but can you please make it look like your robe's not about to just pop off?
