The Japanese legal system is no joke, it has an EXTREMELY HIGH conviction rate, so this was about as far as they could go.
They didn't even use juries until 2009.
For that reason, I'll go to my grave believing that the Ace Attorney games, which started in 2004, were meant to be a satire of the Japanese legal system.
I am always weary of any system that has 99% conviction rate. I mean look at your own DC court system how many J6 were given a fair trial? The communists systems also have high conviction rates. Yeah I don't buy it. Look at your own fed judges abusing power to stop the executive branch. 99% is just pure horse shit. I don't think there is that many public sector workers, cops, prosecutors, clerks, judges that are competent in this universe.
That's fair. Japan's courts are basically a confession mill, or at least they were when I first learned about them in the late 1990s. Who knows what they're like now.
A failure to convict is seen as a loss of face/honor on the police and prosecutors.

They don't have plea bargaining either.
