Very rarely, the court's victim is [[AssholeVictim a particularly despicable villain]]. Seeing them getting their just desserts at the hands of the corrupt system [[HoistByHisOwnPetard they themselves may have set up]] can be incredibly [[CatharsisFactor therapeutic]] both for the protagonists and the audience.

* Pamela and [[spoiler:Ash]] are submitted to an unofficial one in ''Manhwa/TheTarotCafe''. Both are kidnapped by an insane group of religious fanatics who claim that the two are minions of the Devil. They first ask [[spoiler:Ash]] if he believes in wizards. When he says he does not, they [[InsaneTrollLogic twist his words]] to mean that he admitted to not believing in God (according to them, wizards are a sign of the Devil, thus denying the existence of wizards is to deny the Devil and denying the existence of the Devil is thus to deny the existence of God). When they ask Pamela the same question, she simply says "What if I do?", which they take to mean that she does believe in wizards and is thus an agent of the Devil. Partway through, Pamela is crushed by a giant statue, which the fanatics believe is a sign that God judged her...and then believe that she's evil because she survived (really, she's immortal).

** The Sanhedrin (high court of ancient Judea) that tries UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} in Literature/TheFourGospels. Not only do the judges violate every ''single'' Jewish law governing trials, but they put on clearly perjured witnesses to convict him. It got to the point the Sanhedrin was about to aquit Jesus due how farcical things had become until Caiaphas asks him if he's the Messiah, using his assent as proof of blasphemy committed in the court.
** The conduct of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who approves his death sentence (the Romans required it) also plays with it, as even he acknowledges that no Roman (or Jewish) laws were broken by Jesus... But he had also obtained what Roman law counted as a guilty plea: his question of "Are you the King of the Jews?" was him asking if he plead guilty or innocent of the treason he was being accused by the Sanhedrin, and when Jesus sarcastically replied "You have said so" he got the equivalent of no plea at all, which in Roman law is the same as a guilty plea. What followed was Pilate taking this sassy accidental guilty plea and running with it, up to hanging the sign "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaerum" (Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews) on his cross to announce why he was being executed, annoying the Sanhedrin in the process.

* There is a Polish legend that once, in Lublin, a court judged unfairly in favor of a [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney rich magnate]] against a poor widow. Then, depending on the variant, either the widow stated {{Satan}} would have judged more fairly, or the magnate stated the guy would have been forced to agree with them. In either case, next night, devils show up and [[EvenEvilHasStandards force the court to review the case]].
