Broken Aesop
Added DiffLines:
* BrokenAesop: A central theme of the Ace Attorney games is the flaws of a judicial system where the letter of the law is absolute. The final case introduces an experimental Jurist System as an alternative, permitting a jury to use common sense in reaching a verdict. The game strongly suggests that this is a more fair solution. However, the trial where it debuts is possibly more biased than any other in the entire series.
** The most fundamental problem is that the person responsible for the creation of the Jurist System, [[spoiler:Phoenix Wright]], has a multifaceted personal stake in the first case handled by it -- it's made abundantly clear that he introduced the new system for the specific purpose of altering the outcome. [[spoiler:He actively gathers evidence in support of the defense, who technically works for him. A related case resulted in the loss of his job and an orphaned child left in his care. Then, in another related case, he was framed for murder by a person he considered a friend.]] This same person gives instructions and interprets the law for the jury.
** Juror Number Six. [[spoiler:She is Apollo's mother. Before learning this, Apollo successfully defended her close friend against murder charges. She's also the root cause of the events leading up to the current case.]] She even suggests that she shouldn't be on the jury, but [[spoiler:Phoenix uses the letter of the law to justify her presence.]]
** And then there's the ultimate conflict of interest: [[spoiler:the game gives the player control of Juror Six and asks for a verdict in the case the player had spent hours defending.]]
