Making stupid metaphors since 19XX! Well, at least it's not chess...

Ah, the roulette wheel. The most luck based game there is (assuming you're as bad at math as I am. I also don't know how a roulette wheel works.) You spin the wheel, and the ball picks your number. A true gamble. And this competition is a celebration of that unknown, the pounding thrill of the unknown and the excitement of chance which eventually caves into a crippling addiction that costs you all your money and ruins your life..
Task:
Make a case that fits the Prompt
A standard roulette wheel has 36 spots (well, I mean, depending which country you're in). As a result, we have prepared 36 possible challenges/mini-themes! Almost all of these are non-specific, broad and flexible (no X amount of frames or must include character Y). And when you enter, you spin that roulette to receive one of these amazing random prompts from our secret list! As planned, there should be no double-ups either. Meaning that everyone will have a completely unique prompt to work with!
Note that, since (apparently) there are some concerns about how to judge cases writing under different prompts, instead of scoring theme relevancy we'll be scoring it as a simple yes/no. As long as your case somehow fits your prompt, you're fine! The main judgement here will be almost all on the case's quality. Presentation, writing, puzzles and general enjoyment.
Spin the Wheel only as much as you need
When you enter, you've spun the wheel and will be sent your prompt. Now, if you're completely unsatisfied with your spin, you'll be allowed to spin again after 2 days have passed. However, please try to... not do this.
Overall, good luck! And may the odds be ever in your favor.
Conditions:
- The entry must have been created between the 25th of January and the 12th of April
- The entry must not be showcased until judging has been completed
- The entry must be relevant to it's prompt
- The entry may spoil any Ace Attorney game released at time of writing.
- The entry may be a comedy/miscellaneous case.
- Complete entries are preferred, but not required
- The entry must be sent to both me and Zeel.
