Facts, boilerplate and assets for anyone writing about PlayLAWGAMES.

In one paragraph

PlayLAWGAMES is the home of GUILTY or NOT?, the original daily true crime puzzle, built on real court cases and made by a Toronto criminal defense lawyer. In GUILTY or NOT? you read the facts of one real criminal case a day, weigh prosecution against defense, render your verdict and then see what the court actually decided. Every case is a reported decision, cited to its source. The daily case is always free, and so is every past case.
