* ''Series/TheCallOfWarr'': When Prince puts Mabel and Ashes on trial, he already believes them to be guilty of the crimes he's accusing them of- and even decides to claim they ''mass-murdered a town'', to which Mabel protests they'd never be able to do, anyway. Granted, it's hardly a court of law, what with Prince as the judge and it taking place at the train-station in an abandoned town, but there's very little attempt to actually hear the girls' side.

** Sye then has to support Alion, who is brought before the Vampire Court for killing his master, a trial consisting of the Emperess deciding defendant the guilt and then having them beheaded on the spot. Sye has to pretend to be a vampire to even attend, and claims the presence of a vast conspiracy, given the Alion merely being set up victim would make him just as guilty in their eyes. When Sye exposed as a human, has to invoke an ancient and unused law to prevent himself from being killed on the spot.

** Sye is put before a berserker court for killing two men while under the influence of a ancestral curse and stealing a legendary sword to break the curse. He is surprised to learn the court has no defense and prosecution attorneys, rather an interrogator acting as both. Even if if he can prove he was a cursed, that will only makes things worse as he would be considered responsible for his ancestor's crimes, the reason he was cursed to begin with. Sye is sentenced to death by beheading, and is only saved when he summons the aforementioned sword, as proving himself the rightful owner proves his innocence.
