We're currently between episode 2 and episode 3 - Jack Hammer's murder happens in one week.

That makes no sense though given that Ema talks about having a Pink Princess strap and Sal only gets the idea when meeting Maya as far as I can tell. I'm on to you game!

No, he's saying that currently, October 8 2016, is a week before events in the third chapter of this game happens.

That makes sense. Silly dense me. Also the live action adaptation of Ace Attorney is pretty decent and is available on Netflix (at least in Germany but I assume the same elsewhere). and deals mainly with the 2nd and 4th case if I remember correctly if people want to check that out.

Wait suddenly now we care about due process? Are we sure this was by the same dev team?

It was added for the DS release and wasn't in the original game at least.

Any sane legal system wouldn't even consider Ema capable of standing trial due to being way too young when comitting the "murder". But then again this is Japanofornia!

She was 14. Plenty old in Japanifornia. Edgeworth was nine, and no one in the court seemed to find it weird that Edgeworth was confessing to that crime.

Huh 14 is older than I thought. For some reasons I thought Darke killings were much longer ago than two years. So no critic on my part then since it's the same age as here in Germany.

I would have loved if they completely no sold him and just told him to be quiet since he choose to use his right to remain silent prior and then went into the cross examination. But then again that wouldn't be the Phoenix we have come to know.

They also didn't have trial by jury until a few years back.

Personally I'm not a fan of a jury system in any form. Professional judges should decide because they are more likely to distant themselves from the personal side of things and in theory should be able to render a fair judgement. But no system is or will ever be perfect. The adversial system in general scares me.
