What parts were inaccurate instead of boring?Criminal Law: pretty obvious. It obviously took a few liberties here because a movie trial based on actual criminal procedure would be mind-numbingly boring, but got it right where it was relevant.
My layman eyes noticed unusual accuracy with arraignment just being "guilty or not guilty" instead of being time for an impassioned speech, and showing the grand jury giving the indictment before the trial jury etc. They have surprise witnesses but mention in the dialogue that this is extremely unusual and the judge is just allowing it for this case.
The only thing I noticed is that the police don't tell the yutes what they're being arrested for and trick him into confessing to murder, but maybe that's more normal than I thought
