@tls9999 If there even is one.

Aren't there slaves in this society? If they are using Japanese law, slavery would be abolished, and the entire everyone would be equal under the law. That noble would be prosecuted for his crimes against the maids, and the maids wouldn't face harsher penalties just because they committed a crime against a noble.

great as allways but falls short of ace attorney's brilliance. a shame really. also not digging the whole underage bs. i'm fairly convinced this lawyer should be penalized for his dirty thoughts promptly.

@HOOfan_1 You see, this is the main problem with the whole setting. While they took most of Japanese laws, they for some weird reason left the constitution out. And boy, without constitution the whole thing is like a body without a skeleton.

Will this slave merchant/weapon monger/not-princess villain get his punishment? With so few chapters remaining, I don't think the author will do the plot justice.

oh wow, never thought I'd take an interest in another country's legal system when I don't even understand my own. I know Japan's system is based on civil law, but I've got two questions: is attempted murder not considered a crime? and if it is considered a crime, is impossibility an adequate defense?

This, is literally, Ace Attorney

Late but damn... those thots look so adult and thicc yet only 14 or 15.
I wouldn't be surprised if the princess is also similar age.

The only exception is that loli genius.

"is attempted murder not considered a crime? and if it is considered a crime, is impossibility an adequate defense?"

Attempted murder is a crime.
Manslaughter is a crime.
First degree murder is a voluntary killing with intent and malice.
Second degree murder is voluntary killing without the element of design (the defendant does not plan to kill).
Third degree murder is involuntary killing without the element of design (the defendant does not plan to kill nor he has the immediate knowledge that doing a certain act may result in a death of a person).

@Triparadox geez I had to reread this 2 year-old chapter to remember the context.
Thank you for clarifying what seems to be the American legal system? But did you not read the chapter?
His argument is she didn't commit/attempt murder because the victim was already dead. He even said she didn't intend to damage the corpse - because she was unaware he was dead. So clearly she stabbed him thinking he was alive. How is that not considered a crime?

@kornboi I didn't even notice it was 2 years ago LOL (and here I am already forgetting what was the context even though it was just last night). I'd say this is one of those grey area where it will be decided by the judge. She might be charged with attempted murder and end up being true, or end up getting convicted of another crime, or even not guilty.
