In Carlos Ghosn's case, there's an argument to be made. Japan doesn't have a well functioning judicial system (any judicial system with 99.9% conviction rate is by definition completely broken), that forced confessions are common (in Japan you can be detained up to 21 days with little to no cause, interrogations are not done in the presence of a lawyer and there's no law against "facilitating" confessions by prevent you to sleep during those days).
I wouldn't trust the Japanese legal system to be fair and uphold justice, even less so in a politicized case like this one.
