Paloma Ayala

The presiding judge in State v. Johnson, Paloma Ayala is diligent, attentive, and more willing to enforce the rules of court procedure than the judge most Japanifornians are accustomed to. Having seen her share of locked room murders, Judge Ayala expected this case to be a headache from the beginning, and was quickly proven correct in that assertion. As a result, her original resolve to perform the job with dignity, ignoring the occassional nonsense... soon faded into irritability, to put it lightly.

Her previous job as a private detective did not sit well with her sense of legal responsibility, but her only employment in that line seems to have concluded successfully.

Trivia
