'''Exaggerate''': Bob was [[MiscarriageOfJustice wrongly convicted]] during a blatantly [[KangarooCourt unfair]] [[HangingJudge trial]] and was sentenced to death. He escaped prison, formed a terrorist cell with the intention of bringing down the entire government, and has been murdering judges and lawyers ever since.
* '''Justified''': ???
Downplayed:
** Bob is a criminal who resents the government for giving him an unfair sentence, but instead of murdering cops and lawyers he writes treatises and memoirs decrying what he sees as injustices in the legal system. This turns the public in favor of more lenient criminal sentences and it utterly ruins the careers of those responsible for Bob's imprisonment.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob is innocent of the crime he was convicted of, and everybody involved in his conviction knew that.
** The "Crime" for which Bob was convicted is something that shouldn't have even been illegal to begin with (such as belonging to an [[IllegalReligion Illegal Religion]], or [[HeteronormativeCrusader being attracted to the wrong gender]], or so on).
** The legal system, and by extension the entire government, is utterly corrupt.

'''Exploited''':
** A terrorist cell hoping to overthrow the government recruits its members from prison populations, specifically picking out prisoners who resent the legal system.
* '''Defied''': ???'''Defied''':
** The law is written so that taking revenge against the legal system is an aggravating factor in a crime.
** The Justice System works hard to be fair and reasonable. Prisons are geared towards rehabilitation, prisoners are given ample rights and protections, corruption in the legal system is punished swiftly (for instance, a [[HangingJudge judge caught abusing his power]] is barred from ever practicing law again), and the state is quick to rectify and admit mistakes. In other words, there is no reason to feel rage against the legal system.
