And while this serves as the focal point of Wrongfully Accused's script, Abrahams just glazed over this in Mafia!'s script in an effort to try and set up even more supposedly hilarious scenes that were just stupider recreations of previously viewed scenes.
This isn't to say that Wrongfully Accused is without any of these scene recreations, but Proft keeps them to a relative minimum and doesn't allow for his movie to rapidly and unsettlingly take off in another direction just to have the opportunity to spoof a scene from another film.
Wrongfully Accused isn't worthy of comparisons to the top spoofs of our time like Airplane or The Naked Gun films, but stands its own ground, on it's own two feet.

 SPLICEDwire: "Wrongfully Accused" review
"Wrongfully Accused" is the epitaph of the modern spoof.
But "Accused" is such a mess that it only occasionally visits anything resembling storyline and instead busies itself with a parade of flat, unconnected slapstick bits almost completely devoid of comedy.

 USB EAOC Opinion 01-07
By using the name “Legal Center for the Wrongfully Accused” only in limited situations where the law firm deems it “appropriate,” the law firm affirmatively represents that some of its clients are “wrongfully accused,” while others are not.
If the law firm were to use the name uniformly in all cases in which it represents a client accused of wrongful conduct, there would be little or no danger that others would be misled or falsely persuaded of the client’s guilt or innocence simply because of the name.
While a firm may use the name “Legal Centers for the Wrongfully Accused” uniformly in all matters pertaining to alleged wrongful conduct, the firm would not have to use that name while providing other unrelated types of legal services, such as drafting a will or contract.
