Japan’s 99.9% criminal case conviction rate leads the world, attesting to a “highly reliable” judicial system.
In other words, once a crime suspect is indicted, prosecutor arguments tend to be accepted hook, line and sinker.

From unexpected places, the mold-breaking Miyama stakes his reputation on a prayer of a chance as he clashes with hotshot lawyers who’ll go to any lengths to win in this gloriously fun, legal mystery.
