But if you're never shown which jurist says what, and you don't see the Jurist Influence value... you might also assume that different jurists are calling Guilty every time...

But the game could be like:

:udgy: What? One GUILTY again? This case was solved yesterday! Who is this jurist?

Baliff: Your Honor, it's Jurist No. 3.

I just remembered something. Wouldn't there be... a Majority Verdict if that happened more than once?

We don't know.

Which is my point. After all, wouldn't they want to go with what the majority of the people think? Therefore, if an unanimous verdict cannot be reached, wouldn't it make sense to go by majority?

Plus, I recall Phoenix saying somewhere in 4-4 that "They're reviving the old system". If the 'old system' is modern law, then wouldn't reviving it incorporate majority verdicts as well?

He also said that they were making key changes.

Also, I think that a majority jury vote would not cut it for them. They constantly prolong cases because of the smallest doubts with the old system. Wouldn't it be the same for the Jurist system?

More generally, I'd like it if the Jurists, rather than the prosecution, asked you to prove or clarify something. Imagine the Judge going: "Mr. Justice, I have a question from the Jurists. Can you explain WHY the witness couldn't have seen the defendant that night?" And then the prosecutor going, "Ah-HA! I'd like to know that too."

I guess one more idea is this: What if you can pick when to rest your case? You get to a point, and you think you've shown all the evidence possible, and want to leave it up to the Jurists? But if you rest too early, you get a guilty verdict back? Now THAT would be a brand new dynamic and make the game a little less linear. Imagine if there's a whole other day of investigating that you only get to if you keep trudging forward and refuse to rest your case in Day 2?


Both of those ideas sound brilliant. The one thing I dislike about the series is how linear it is. Perhaps even you could have longer wrong-route sequences for each wrong piece of evidence you present at a certain point? Of course you'd still be penalised and have to choose something else, but it'd be nice nonetheless. For example:

Quote:
Klavier: Well? Do you have any evidence to prove that the witness was at the crime scene?

Apollo presents FOOTPRINTS. Take that!

Apollo: These footprints left quite an impression in the mud near the north entrance of the amusement zone.

Judge: But ... aren't those the defendant's footprints?

Klavier: *some air guitar* My point exactly.

Judge: I'm afraid I'm going to have to penalise you for your false ... something.

Apollo: (Dammit!)

if they take out the jursist system , then it would be out of continuaty with AJ since at the end of it they tried out the jurist system and it worked, And if they went back to the old one it would need disiseve evidence and some criminals may go free liek it almost happened in 4-3

In this game will it just be easy cases because you can choose whether you win or not?

Well what would be really cool is if they have implemented a thing where depending how well you do you'll get a different ending. I had an idea, but then I realized it couldnt work. They could make the new court system very interesting next game though.

My main problem with being able to get a guilty or not guilty in each case is that it would really fuck up the storyline. Multiple stoorylines/endings don't really work for story heavy games(especially considering there's probably going to be a sixth game).

Well, when I first saw what happened with the Jurist System I thought something along the lines of,

"Wait, seriously? Who would be idiotic enough to say "Guilty" if it would make them lose?"

But after a bit of reflection, I think I figured it out. Phoenix picked the perfect case to introduce the Jurist System, because without it, an innocent person would have been convicted, and it wouldn't even have been Apollo's fault- it would have been Kristoph's, because he refused to play by the rules, which was a flaw in the previous system- if one person, just one person, decided that they didn't want to play fair, then the innocent could get convicted.

After realizing that, really, I don't think anyone in the PW world would care to go back to the original system.

Therefore, the Jurist System most likely will continue. Who knows how it'll work out.

See, but don't you just love the feeling you get when you present that decisive evidence and you get to see the killer flip out?

Spoiler: 4-4
4-4 was so anti-climatic

:garyuu: Ha! You don't have the evidence

ok, They WOULD NOT make the jurists system like they did in 4-4. I'm sure they know that you are going to just pick not guilty to see the real story line. They no not to give you the choice for all of them. Unless they have them like 2-4 where you have to think for a while whether or not to pick guilty or not, then I'm cool with that. But I know they think about this and I'm sure that they concluded that the Jurists system WILL stay, but you cannot select the verdict yourself.

I think as people have said the jurist system is a one shot deal for the case of 4-4, But if they do put it in GS5 it would be interesting to see how it works but i think it would be pretty much the same but instead of the judge handing down the verdict the jury do also it would be interesing if we could see who they are at the start of the trial. Maybe in one of the cases the jury play a part like one is being blackmailed or is realted to the victim and the court are not aware that would be sweet

I have one big problem with the jurist system. It simply won't be as exciting.

On the one hand we have:

:odoroki: / :phoenix: "Come one everyone! Look at this guy! He's a total Ass-Hole! We're almost sure he did it."
:udgy: "Tough luck isn't it?"
:hobohodo:/ :mia: / :maya: / :minuki: "Buck up."
:odoroki: / :phoenix: "It's time to turn this case around!"
*Epicness ensues"
Killer: "And I would have gotten away with it too. If it hadn't been for that meddling attorney!"

:odoroki: / :phoenix: "Come one everyone! Look at this guy! He's a total asshole! He might just have done it!"
Jurist 3: "That's true! He is a jerk."
Jurist 5: "His accent is silly!"
Jurist 6: "Totally. And look at clothes, who dresses like that?"
Jurist 1: "Actually..."
Jurist 6: "Besides the witnesses... and the attorneys..."
Jurist 1: "Good Point. Guilty!"
Killer: "That jury... They weren't very nice..."

See? It's just not as dramatic.
So, I've been giving this egg business a shot. Click for glory!

Okay, here is my opinion on the matter. It's kind of a rant since this is my first post in the thread, and I've read all the posts, so this is kind of responding to everyone at the same time.


We are NOT (I repeat: NOT) going to get to pick Guilty/Not Guilty again. The ONLY reason we were able to do so was in order to find out about Jurist No.6. (someone already said this, and they were spot on.) Now, there might be a branching storyline. However, the only way I can see this working is: Case 1 thru 3 are all the same. The outcome of Case 3 gets one out of two possible Case 4s. (You would get the other by beating the Case 4 you picked, which would become Case 5.) However, either both Case 4s would need to end with everything the same way, or one would have to be non-canon (and it would be totally crazy, whacked out, and obvious to everyone that it was.)

They may or may not keep the Jurist System at all. A country would not completely change their legal system after trying a single case with it. They could always say, "Sure, yours went well, but all the others failed so we're not switching." Although the best scenario would be if they gave each criminal a choice to have a jury or not, so Capcom could pick the system to best fit the case.

I think they'll make some minor changes (maybe instead of getting penalties, you'll lose favor with the jury, and add a new section to the court phase where the jury asks you questions) but overall everything will remain the same.

For me, the Jurist system can be used as the "Life Bar" replacement, but with some differences:
1-Each jurist has it's own life bar, and you will check it touching a button (see image at the end)
2-Instead of only losing life during trials (and only "refilling" them when unlocking psyche-locks, as I know :yogi: ), the life bars would refill during the trial, as you convince the jury that the defendant is not guilty, like:
:udgy: :Can you present evidence proving that the defendant wasn't doing *insert action* at the time of the murder?
:odoroki: : :takethat: Here it is!
*Jurist 3's life bar refilled 20%*
3-Each jurist has its own personalities that reflect at how much life you lose or refill. Like: jurist 1 is very severe and doesn't accept mistakes. You lose 35% of life when you present wrong evidence at a "normal" testimony (the first ones) and it only refills when you present very decisive evidence, but jurist 2 is more "forgivable" and you barely lose life (5-10%)when presenting wrong evidence at a "normal" testimony but it refills at almost all times you show a contradiction.
4-A empty life bar doesn't mean Game Over: unless you can make every jurist think the defendant is guilty (emptying their life bars), you can refill empty life bars at decisive moments (when you present decisive evidence, for example), so you don't have to be very scared when a life bar is empty.
5-Decisive testimonies and parts value more: As it should, presenting wrong evidence at the decisive moment will make you lose more life, but doing the right thing will make the bars refill faster.
6-50% of life bar or more mean the jurist will vote "Not Guilty", 49% or less means "Guilty". And probably, if put on this way, the veredict would have to be decided from the majority of votes, but if we have a tie it would be decided seeing if the "Not Guilty" jurist's bars full % is bigger than the "Guilty" jurist's bars empty %.

My thinking is that the only thing the Jury System need actually change is the situations where everyone knows the witness did it but you can't prove it with the evidence you have and so have to do something drastic (3-3, 4-3 and obviously 4-4). There can't be any more of those, because the jury would just declare your client not guilty. I was thinking that if they gave the Judge the power to overrule a Jury verdict, then you could just have every case ending in a situation where it seems to him that there's still a possibility the witness is not guilty, so you have to put in some decisive evidence to change his mind, rather than have instances like 3-3 where even he knew Tigre did it but the evidence wasn't conclusive enough to have Tigre arrested.
