As a cop, Nicholas Marshall saw some of the people he arrested getting OffOnATechnicality but he believed in the system. Later, as a prosecutor, he had no choice but let some defendants get OffOnATechnicality but he believed in the system. Even later, as a judge, he got used to presiding trials where criminals got OffOnATechnicality but he believed in the system. Until they killed his family. Judge Nicholas Marshall stopped believing in the system and started believing justice. He then recruited people arrested for minor offenses and formed "The Night Watchmen" to expose the criminals who avoided their deserved punishment.
