Mistrial - a daily courtroom game. You choose prosecution or defense before you're allowed to read the case.
One criminal case per day, the same file for everyone in the world. Before it opens you see only the charge, the defendant, and which kind of lawyer is across the aisle. You pick a side on that, and then you live with it.
The two sides play differently. The prosecution has to land every element of the charge with all twelve jurors. The defense only needs real doubt on one, and can win without calling a single witness.
Three phases, forward only, no backtracking: pre-trial motions, jury selection one juror at a time (every question you ask, your opponent hears the answer), then the trial. It ends in guilty, not guilty, or a hung jury.
Cases are procedurally generated, and a solver plays each one from both sides before it's published. If it can't be won by both the prosecution and the defense, it's thrown out and regenerated. Some files have exactly one path to victory; some have several. So if you lose, a line existed.

I made this and I'm still tuning it, so I'd genuinely like to hear which parts feel unfair.
