>Even then, he has been very fortunate to take on only those who are indeed not guilty (that I'm aware of).
Matt Engarde was guilty, but he was convicted.
If I recall right, Phoenix actually did get someone who was truly guilty (Ron DeLite) off the hook.

TRIALS
People say it's a Japanese thing, but in basically every criminal justice system, the general public hates defense attorneys because they think their job is to lie to get criminals off on "technicalities".
"Technicalities" of course, being the rule of law, but whatever.

this always bothered me
everyone pushing, punching, kicking, throwing stuff at him, etc; the judge even had a bias against his cases almost each time

I genuinely want to know: out of all the people who he has defended, just how many of them were willing and capable of actually paying him for his services, and who?
No, Luke Atmey robbed the Lordly Tailor. Ron Delite was correctly ruled Not Guilty on that case. The ending really doesn't make sense, because being Mask Demasque isn't a crime in itself, it's the crimes he committed that he could be charged with, so not sure what he was talking about with Double Jeopardy
Which is odd because Phoenix specifically states in SoJ that it's "Innocent until proven guilty" back where he lives.
Well fuck. Next time I won't say anything, I have only played through the first game so far and was under the impression they would save something so interesting as that sort of case for much, much later in the series. I'm guessing if it's anything like the first game though, they make it incredibly apparent from the outset that he is indeed guilty and that this is not a true spoiler.
