A basic plot point in the recent Japanese video game Judgment (or Judge Eyes) is the protagonist, a lawyer, getting a not guilty verdict for an accused murderer, and how fabulously rare and out of the ordinary that is.
Also, basically the entire Phoenix Wright series is an exaggerated satire of the Japanese legal system, including the ridiculous way the defense attorney characters you play can only get your clients acquitted by specifically proving that someone else did the crime.
