History Main / JokerJury

** Two-Face puts a judge on trial in the ''Robin: Year One'' mini-series.

* One old WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short called "The Trial of Mr. Wolf" featured Literature/LittleRedRidingHood being put on trial for crimes against the Big Bad Wolf. The judge, prosecutor, and entire jury are all wolves. It actually ends up a subversion, as his story is so unbelievable that even the all-wolf jury finds the Big Bad Wolf's story a blatant lie. (And he doesn't help his case when he says, says, [[TemptingFate "And if I'm lying, I hope to get run over by a streetcar!"]] and [[CueTheFlyingPigs a streetcar smashes through the courtroom and runs him over]]. He then says, "Okay, maybe I did exaggerate a little...")

* The standard M.O. of the mercenary/vigilante group the Jury in the MarvelUniverse.

** In an odd inversion, in a storyline that ran in ''Batman'' #291-294, Batman was missing and presumed dead, and villains placed themselves on trial before a court of their fellow villains, attempting to prove themselves guilty of Batman's murder.

* Q puts HumanityOnTrial (with Picard as the defense attorney) in [[BookEnds the pilot and series finale]] of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''.
** Q also warns Picard not to try any "lawyer tricks" to get out of it, claiming that this is a "court of facts". Of course, this is also a court where drugged-up guards maintain order by FiringInTheAirALot, and a guard who is overpowered by an accused is immediately shot by another guard.

* ''Series/FBIMostWanted'': In "Rangeland", the team is called to Wyoming after two Bureau of Land Management agents go missing after trying to execute a cattle seizure warrant against a rancher who hasn't paid the land fees. The rancher, Will, killed the agents claiming that he thought were going for their guns. His brother Cole is involved in an anti-government rancher association and previously ran for Sheriff. The brothers kidnap the Bureau's chief and the Sheriff and put them in a mock trial before his association's ranchers.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', Enies Lobby technically serves as a courthouse, even though criminals are only brought through there on their way to the underwater prison Impel Down, or to Marine Headquarters, and has an almost absurd pretense of justice. Criminals are judged by the Just Eleven Jurymen, who are pirates who have been sentenced to death and pronounce any criminal guilty to take as many down with them as they can. Judge Baskerville, [[spoiler: actually three people who sit together to form]] a three-headed man, has a strange way of passing sentences: the left head favors punishing criminals, the right side favors leniency, and the center offers the more extreme "compromise" of execution [[note]]Impel Down is one of those [[FateWorseThanDeath fates worse than death]] so it might be a good compromise from a certain point of view[[/note]]. As such, no criminal has ever been acquitted. Strangely enough, [[spoiler: Nico Robin and Franky]] don't get this treatment when they are taken through Enies Lobby.
** That's actually justified. [[spoiler: Spandam used [=CP9's=] authority to override that.]]
