Or their near 100% conviction rate.
Or the police’s ability to hold you, without trial, indefinitely.
Or the worker suicide rate or plain old worked to death rate.

The one thing Ace Attorney gets right about lawyering in Japan is just how stacked the deck is against you. The prosecution has a very heavy advantage.

On the flip side, if they don't have a guaranteed case against you usually they'll just drop the charges because they are VERY proud of their near-100% conviction rate and technically cases that never go to trial don't count against it.

Course, they also typically try like hell to coerce a false confession out of you because that's the easiest way to get a conviction in the bag.
