But I got a sick, twisted, and messed up idea for a non-con story that just won't leave me alone. Pheonix Wright and Co: find themselves dealing with the actual American legal system! The 'sexy' parts don't enter into it until they all are arrested, convicted, and disbarred for evidence tampering and a host of other forms of misconduct: once they're all in prison... I want nothing further to do with this concept, I just needed it out of my head...
Would it surprise you to find out that Phoenix Wright does take place in the United States? Los Angeles(Last two paragraphs) to be exact. An Alternate Universe Los Angeles with a Japanese Legal System, but still United States. Also he would be a criminal in Japan as well for his shennanigans. Not all of his shenanigans, but definitely some of them.
No, it's a horrible idea, the very dregs of the worst parts of my imagination and doomed to utter failure were anyone to attempt it: I just needed the idea out of my head and onto paper before it would go away and let me get back to writing decent content.
