Hello Legal Eagle. Can you please make a Video about the O.J. Simpson Case?. I'd like you to explain if he can be tried again in a U.S. Federal Court given the new evidence that has been found and if his non guilty sentence can be appealed or nullified if the prosecution proves a misconduct or bribe received by a member of the jury back then in order to favor O.J. during his trial?, also can a person like O.J. still be tried even after his death?

Yeah; it's canonically set in "Japanifornia" just to highlight that it has no direct reference to the actual legal system of any nation, and obviously all the issues with the hybrid off-the-rails legal system are to justify the games and the investigation/argument mechanic. The anime comes way later in the media franchise as a nod to the players of the game, and this is why the whole thing is even weirder if anybody approaches the PW universe starting from the anime.

Correct. Also his first name, Phoenix, was likely chosen as a parallel to the Japanese series title, "Gyakuten Saiban," which roughly means "Turnabout Courtroom."

@AzureSkyCiel Ай бұрын

I feel like most Japanese people are 'spiritual' (for a given definition) enough to just not rule out the possibility entirely. But it probably would be effectively treated as both bringing in a new witness (the victim) and potentially simultaneously count as material evidence submission by virtue of being dead like if you were to submit images of the body/an autopsy report. The latter part might be seen as a big faux pas just because, at least in America, there is consideration if certain articles of evidence might need to have a warning for the jury as graphic or grusome. And while there would be no physical body I guess, you're still bringing a dead person into a court room mid-trial with no preamble.

Glad you have a Japanese lawyer this time, since, although the enligh versions of the series wants to make it out like it's set in America, particularly in the later games, at it's core, especially the first trilogy, Ace Attorney is a satire of the Japanese legal system and therefore US legal system stuff does not apply to Ace Attorney.

The first Ace Attorney game actually predates the japanese jury system, and I know this because the fourth game in the series (Apollo Justice) largely revolved around the implementation of a jury system. It's not quite the same as the real world - these games always took place in the near future with a three-day trial system - but it was meant as a commentary on the real-world development.

@the1exnay Ай бұрын

@@ZT1ST yup, it makes no sense to blackmail in public and yet she did it. And more ridiculous, it worked? She revealed the secret and yet he still did what she wanted in exchange for her not revealing the secret. And also, since she did it in public it would be very easy to convict her of blackmail. And worse, since his confession was the result of blackmail it could easily be argued to be invalid. If someone has a gun to your head and says “say ‘im guilty’” then you say “im guilty” that doesn’t count as evidence of your guilt

@oldgus01 Ай бұрын

It depends. Actual legal definition of blackmail? I could see this going either way, and it would have to depend on whether the legal definition includes releasing evidence of real crimes the victim did, and/or the "benefit" for the perpetrator being the victim facing legal repercussions. Which brings me to the much more likely but still "it depends" part. It definitely qualifies as a form of extortion, if not forcing a confession (regardless of if the confession is true or not, using illegal means to compel it that violate their constitutional rights is not allowed.) Now, is this brought against the medium who is not a legal official in any capacity, and thus subject to more lenient penalties/laws, or is this brought against the (dead) prosecutor who being a legal official should be held to a higher legal standard when it comes to this kind of thing? Then you get into weeds like "interfering with an investigation", "withholding evidence", "defamation" because some jurisdictions don't have the requirement that the information disseminated be false, and/or whistleblower laws. All that said, I'm with the lawyers. The only reason I can think of for not eating the bribery/blackmail charges is it destroying his public image and livelihood in a way worse than a murder conviction, or it leading to an investigation into even worse crimes.

@ZT1ST Ай бұрын

@@oldgus01 The victim being channeled is a dead defense lawyer, not a prosecutor, if it matters. That said, as I recall from the games (And maybe this was skimmed in the anime, I didn't get this far yet.), it's implied he's blackmailing the chief prosecutor at the time, as well as most of the defense lawyers out there (It's why Phoenix was Maya's defense lawyer for the case to begin with.); so he's in quite deep. Also, I think she implied there were politicians being blackmailed, so it was sort of a "Find yourself effectively in the position of the Boeing Whistleblower, or confess to the murder you did to try and cover up this stuff." choice for him.

@oldgus01 Ай бұрын

@@ZT1ST fair, she's a defense lawyer. That said, this weird legal system requires specifically finding someone else guilty to prove a client innocent, so I feel like logically, the charge would be the same whether prosecutor or defense attorney.

There is actually very little drama in Japanese criminal court. The conviction rate is 99.9%, because the prosecutors only charge people they are confident will be convicted and the judges essentially presume guilt, because admitting the prosecution could have been wrong could lessen the trust in the system.

Mr. Mitsui missed that Phoenix Wright and Naruhodo Ryuichi make sense as loose translations of each other. A Phoenix is a bird borne of fire. "Ryuichi" directly translates as "son of dragon." So there's similarity there. "Naruhodo" means "I see" or "I understand" in a conversational context. Similar to the English conversational use of "right."

Interesting, this was all very informative. As an Ace Attorney fan, I also got WAY more giddy at seeing the pin on Mr. Matsui's lapel than I perhaps should have, due to how much prominence is put on badges in the Ace Attorney community. xD However, I do want to say that I heard that Ace Attorney cases are based on an older Japanese legal system that has long-since been revamped and modernized (though obviously, still greatly exaggerated and different for sake of raising the excitement and tension and to save time in some cases). This mostly stems from the fact that the central plotline of one of the games is the reformation of the court system, and I've heard that that event is based on the actual courtroom reformations done in Japan. Do you all know if that's actually true or not? That game is Apollo Justice. But I suppose the Japanese title is just "Gyakuten Saiban 4" and I believe it came out about 16-17 years ago? I noticed that article that got brought up at 11:31 mentioned something along those lines, but a more detailed answer is something I've been really eager to find out for years. xD

@TheNzFox Ай бұрын

The Japanese legal system seems to push hard for confessions rather than trials, using social pressures to make people confess, they also have something called 'suspension of prosecution' which basically means they can put the case on hold until more evidence, or that confession, turns up before actually prosecuting. Its why only something like 8% of cases actually go to trial, lawyers don't want to damage their reputations by pushing forward cases that they could potentially lose. I'm not in a position to say if its better or worse system than in other countries, the idea of pressuring someone to confess so they do not put their family through the shame of a draw on investigation really does not sit right with me, but its basically the same as somewhere like America were they use the economic pressures of a defense to achieve the same thing.

@vbevan Ай бұрын

And the other six people aren't jurors, they are treated as lay judges. That is, they deliberate on questions of law with the professional judges, despite having no legal training. Must make legal rulings wonderfully consistent. Also, the judges (3 professional and 6 lay, remember) can also ask questions of witnesses. Which makes raising an objection problematic, since the lawyers are then asking the judges to rule against own question. Oh, and they also decide sentencing. So to summarize, the nine judges (six of whom are ordinary citizens) are triers of law, triers of fact, examine and gather evidence, decide on guilt AND decide on sentencing. "Separation of powers" and "conflict of interest"? Never heard of them.

I almost want to see this again, but with a Japanese /Law historian/, because the original games were written around 2001-2004 and were specifically written as satires of the legal system at the time. This comes to mind, because Matsui mentions Japan having a jury system like America's-- but Apollo Justice -the fourth game-, which released in America in 2008, was (or so I've heard) originally was written in part to advertise the jury system they were just about to test in Japan. It's possible the legal system was a little more like this back then. Barring the necessary anime tropes of course. This is a really fun way to discuss Ace Attorney. :)❤

Ooh, ooh, this was so fun. I got an idea of another thing you can review with Matsui-san. There is a fun Japanese movie I watched back in a Japanese class: ステキな金縛り Suteki na Kanashibari, also known as "A Ghost of a Chance," or "Once In a Blue Moon" in English. It's a comedy court drama about having a ghost be a witness in a trial. I think you would have a good time reviewing that movie because it struck me as having some good legally realistic points, as much of the comedy was based the premise of navigating the rules of a courtroom to allow for this ghost's testimony. For example, there is a scene long before the trial starts where the main character must formally submit information about the witness she is going to call to the stand - the ghost. She had to figure out how she could take a picture of the ghost, etc. Just the fact that a court drama would include those kinds of pre-trial procedures as an important part of the story I think is very cool.

You know what’s not the same? The 99.9% conviction rate in Japan. Either they only move forward with cases where they are sure they will be able to convict, or the legal system is heavily tilted in favor of the prosecution, or maybe the police is a bit to cozy with the prosecution, or a mix of all of the above.

@caryeverett8914 Ай бұрын

It's mostly the former. IIRC, only about 30% of cases go to court at all. Anything less than perfect evidence generally isn't prosecuted. Which is actually satirized in the game, as the prosecutors regularly gush about the airtightness of their case and the pointlessness of defense. Along with their bragging about their "perfect 100% conviction rate." Which is a lot easier to achieve if you don't try to prosecute anything but the strongest cases.
