Fun Fact: Sherlock Holmes, though never inventing hologram technology, did in his books develop a chemical method to determine whether blood was that of a human or an animal. This was a technology that, at the time, was purely fictional. Forensic scientists reading his adventures realized that such a forensic tool would be invaluable, and set about making it a reality. Additionally, Star Trek directly inspired wireless phones, Spiderman's villain The Kingpin used an ankle monitor before they were a thing and Wonder Woman's writer invented the polygraph.

This will be a very heavy spoiler. This is endgame of The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve. After revealing the true culprit (judge AND Chief of Justice) with evidence, the killer used his authority to persuade the gallery to get away. So, Herlock made an invention the night before to thwart him, and put it in use now.

Is forcing someone into murder NOT A CRIME HERE?!

[@burningrabbit7278]

Stronghart's entire justification is "the ends justify the means". As the people he indirectly murdered were the dregs of society, and Stronghart's ruthless tenacity in punishing crime resonated with the gallery, entirely composed of members of the judiciary. As a result, they think what he did was the right thing to do and don't want to see him punished.

[@Zoe-hb2oj]

@@burningrabbit7278 Ah, I see. Albeit not a good justification, the judiciary would definitely ponder and agree with it. Barok van Zieks said something similar about his brother. Klint hated criminals so much that he became a criminal himself. But what I was confused about is that even after he confessed about forcing the people to murder, he said that he himself hadn't killed anyone. He was surrounded by fools [who agreed to kill due to Mael's blackmails], therefore feigned ignorance. So, can people not be punished for forcing others to kill? Matt Engarde was convicted for hiring de Killer, why couldn't Stronghart be convicted for the same? After that, he caused the uproar among the judiciary on how he is innocent. I wasn't questioning the justifications, I was questioning the fact that Stronghart pleaded innocence because he himself didn't lay a single finger in anyone, only forced the others to do the dirty work for him.

[@Chellythefox]

It is a crime, but there's a reason why Stronghart nearly got away + he did get charged; There was no proof of Stronghart acting directly and the fact he appealed to the gallery that if any of his actions from the past 10 years became public, it would spell an end of order in England... Although that got dashed away when the Queen took power away from him by decreeing that Stronghart was to lose all of his powers, and be tried for his crimes publicly. With Matt; he was fucked regardless if he was found innocent or guilty because he broke the contract with de Killer thus painted a HUGE target on his back.

[@zachjaeger6401]

@@burningrabbit7278 but weren't some murders for personal gain.
