#the reason why every trial is a turnabout is bc we only get our acquittals by the skin of our teeth #with every 'decisive' evidence being a miracle if not an outright bluff #like every trial is this 🤏 close to letting a criminal go free and falsely convicting an innocent person #all bc of a lack of 'decisive evidence' #so yes aa's gung ho reliance on evidence. is not great #im just in shock how out of everything This would be an issue you'd hv with turnabout serenade #what is the most solid/most critical aspect of the entire case if not ajaa as a whole #and im just babbling tangentially now but i rly rly love how ajaa examines the function of evidence #in veras trial its abt legality of obtaining evidence; there is decisive evidence to incriminate kristoph (the yellow envelope) #but it cannot be legally obtained #and also how theres not enough evidence to discern the cause of magnifis death #like fandom has taken it at face value tht it was a suicide #but i find it very neat how theres an absence of evidence to indicate that #all we hv to go off from is valants account of events #something something how aa's court would never accept such ruling where both valant and zak could be innocent #also circling back to kristoph; he never does admit to the poisoning of the mishams #and when u compare that to 2-4 where adrian andrews didnt confess to killing juan and that made phoenix doubt his accusations towards her #its all very neat. I LOVE YOU AJAA
