* In the second case of the first ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' game, the primary (or rather the only) evidence incriminating suspect Maya Fey in her sister's murder is a receipt with her name written in blood. Phoenix Wright asks Detective Gumshoe whether murder victims often identify their killer this way, and Gumshoe asserts that it happens all the time in detective novels. The detective's certainty wavers a little when Wright points out that this isn't a detective novel.
