Web writer Mizutani Ken, who was arrested for molest, pleads innocent at the trial, but is found guilty. He goes to an association for victims of false molest charges that he was introduced to, and encounters Sakuma Eiji, a man with an unknown background. Sakuma leads a masked group called Shinbunshi. Together with Shinbunshi members Okina Keiko and Tabuchi Yuzo, he advocates a more open trial and suggests that Mizutani make an appeal to the world to assert his innocence through a video site. A preview video of a mock trial called �gpublic trial�h is thus posted and Mizutani�fs �gtrial�h begins. But Sakuma who is presiding over this public trial is actually a sitting judge. After seeing a series of public trials, the investigation team led by Yoshino Erika of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department�fs Cybercrime Division starts to determine the identity of Shinbunshi. Then they discover one thing in common among the people targeted as �gdefendants�h by Shinbunshi �c �c |
