1. What are the court proceedings for a trial?
2. Is there a Prosecuter and a Defender?
3. Is there a jury and how is a verdict reached?

Well, you know how the U.S. has that "innocent until proven guilty"
aphorism? Well, the Japanese version of it is "guilty until proven
innocent."

When police capture a suspect, they put them in a small cell, smaller than
armspan, for about 17 years, then they have a trial.
