Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Trial of the Flash was an extended storyline in The Flash comics, written by Cary Bates and Carmine Infantino. Lasting from issue #323 to the end of the series in issue #350, it's notable for being very long, as well as ending the Barry Allen run of the Flash as a lead-in to Crisis on Infinite Earths.The story had its genesis in Flash (vol. 1) #275, when Barry's evil counterpart, the Reverse-Flash, killed his wife Iris. By the time of #323, Barry had found happiness with Fiona Webb and intended to marry her. Unfortunately, Reverse-Flash wanted to kill Fiona too, and in the resulting struggle, the Flash snapped his enemy's neck, killing him.This resulted in the titular trial, where the Flash was charged with manslaughter and eventually murder, was almost voted out of the Justice League, and had to reconcile his Barry Allen identity with what the Flash was going through—not helped by his Rogues Gallery still making frequent attacks. In the end, things wrapped up happily for the Flash, but it was short-lived as he died soon after in the Crisis.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Artistic License – Law: Comic book writer and lawyer Bob Ingersoll, in his Comics Buyer's Guide column "The Law Is a Ass", used to point out the legal issues with this storyline. For example, how Flash's killing of Reverse-Flash was justified as self-defense, and should not have been considered a crime. And how Flash's mug shot was taken with his mask still on, which wouldn't happen in the real world because mug shots are a means of identifying the person underneath the mask.
