• New evidence types: fingerprints, footprints, contracts, and autopsy reports
• Animated main-menu background using real courtroom photography

SENTENCING & COURTROOM
• Detailed suspended-sentence system — set an underlying term, suspension period, probation, community service hours, and an education order, just like real criminal law
• New "repeat outburst" event: defendants who ignore a warning may act up again, and two bailiffs now step in to restrain them
• 4 new appeal-mode twists (fake apology letters, last-minute restitution, detention misconduct, visitor conversations) plus narration on why the lower court admitted or rejected each piece of evidence
• Prosecutor and defense now occasionally fire back with an extra rebuttal each round, making trials longer and more contested

VISUALS
• CCTV footage now varies by day/night brightness
• Finer pixel detail on character sprites (hair, fabric folds, shading, eye glints)
• Courtroom background completely redone as a detailed illustrated scene

BUG FIXES
