PS Um...I guess Phoenix Wright made this genre really popular. So I'm guessing this game is probably gonna come out in English too, although that's just speculation...

Oddly enough, since 1943 there hasn't been a trial by jury system in

Japan until now (which was why all the cases except the very last one

in the Gyakuten Saiban series were decided a crusty old fart of a

judge).

By the way, jury duty isn't really that exciting, I was

on the panel once and selected as one of the jurors in a drug smuggling

trial. For countless days we heard the same recorded evidence played

over and over again, and both defense and prosecution going through the

same tired arguments (sadly no-one had been shouting "Objection" and

pointing fingers). In the end it was all a waste of time since we ended

up with a hung jury: 6 of us thought the defendant was guilty, the

other 6 insisted she was innocent. (One of them said she was "too hot"

to be guilty. I'm not kidding. They really should include intelligence

tests in the jury selection process.) The judge was so pissed off that

before he kicked all of us off the panel, he said that we should count

ourselves lucky that he hasn't decided to lock us up overnight for

contempt. Well anyway, long story short, jury duty sucks.
