A Battle of Wits and Morals In a courtroom, there are three parties: the prosecution, the defense and the jury. Each group with their own roles and duties to perform: to find the defendant guilty, to protect the defendant from a guilty verdict, and to hand out a sentence, respectively. When I was just a novice defense attorney in my mid twenties, I was undefeated in my career for about two years without any dishonest practices and I aspired to keep it that way. It all changed when I took on a case for a famous actor by the name of Ka-shi-no. Ka-shi-no had become a suspect in the murder of Lae Ze, a rival actor.

The caller then said that the trial was to take place in two days and that I must get an acquittal for him on that day or Maya would die.
