After recess, Edgeworth is called up. He testifies that while Yogi and his father were fighting, something heavy fell on his feet. He threw the object at the two fighting before collapsing. He heard a gunshot and a chilling scream before losing consciousness.

There is something strange about it though. The murder weapon was fired twice that day. On of the bullets may have been fired through the window, which was damaged sometime after the earthquake. However, von Karma points out that the other bullet was never found. Phoenix runs out of ideas again. And what's worse, Edgeworth confesses that he had accidentally shot his own father. It looks like all is lost after all...

And then Phoenix suddenly hears Mia's voice... in his head. It tells him that the bullet wasn't found because the killer took it with them and encourages him to think of something crazy. Phoenix brings it up to the court. He theorizes that the bullet was never found because the bullet was inside the real murderer. When Edgeworth threw the gun, the gun discharged, but it didn't hit his father. Instead it went through the window and struck someone else, who just happened to be walking by.

Which brings us to our gray-haired prosecutor, who just happened to be taking a vacation after the incident took place due to the shock from the blow on his record. But what if it was for another reason? What if it was due to an injury? When given the chance, Phoenix accuses van Karma as the real killer, as he took a vacation to recover from a bullet wound he received during his stay at America. Using a metal detector, he finds a metal ojbect lodged inside on one of von Karma's shoulders. It must be the bullet fired from the same gun that killed Gregory.

Knowing he is screwed, von Karma lets out a raging roar. Edgeworth recognizes that roar is similar to that of the one he heard in the elevator. von Karma admits that he fired the gun at Gregory out of revenge for putting a irremovable stain on his court record.

With this out of the bag the Judge declares Edgeworth "Not Guilty". Now all is well.

After the trial, Edgeworth thanks Phoenix for helping him out. Lotta comes in and takes a picture. Larry comes in and confesses that HE was the one that stole Edgeworth's money at school. This leads to some bickering between the three before Gumshoe took them out to dinner.

The next morning, Phoenix gets a letter from Maya, who says she was worthless throughout the whole case and wants to move back to the village. Phoenix goes to the train station and convinces Maya that she was in fact helpful. If she hadn't taken the bullet from von Karma when he tased them, everything would have been lost.

Prepped, Maya promises to return to Phoenix with recharged power and be more useful.

And so end's our story... or at least in the GBA version.

Phoenix accuses the caretaker

to:

Phoenix accuses the caretaker
caretaker into being Yanni Yogi and wants fingerprints for proof. However, his fingerprints were burned off in a chemical plant accident. Well, shoot, there goes that plan. von Karma mocks Phoenix, saying he would have to cross-examine the caretaker's parrot to get anything.

And that's exactly what Phoenix does, the bird's name is Polly, who apparently was named after Yanni's fiancee, who committed suicide after the DL-6 Incident took place. The bird also reveals the safe number, "1228", which is the date DL-6 took place in (December 28th). Those are very suspicious coincidences. The caretaker is called up again. The old man decides to make his next moveby...

...breaking character and confesses to the crime. He puts on a more serious tone and not only confirms that he really is Yanni Yogi and that he did shot Hammond. He killed Hammond out of revenge. He wanted to take out Edgeworth, but not it seems it wasn't meant to be.

And so Edgeworth is called up and the Judges declares him "Not Guilty". It looks like all is well...

And then Edgeworth objects, saying that Yogi didn't give any details on why he wanted revenge and wants to be tried for the murder 15 years ago. von Karma agrees to try Edgeworth before the statute of limitations runs out. It seems he'll want his last laugh after Phoenix shattered his so-called "perfect" record".

Phoenix finally tells Maya why he trusts Larry and Edgeworth so much - when they were children, he was put on trial by his class for stealing another student's lunch money. Everyone thought he did it, but those two defended him. Neither Larry or Edgeworth seem to remember the incident, but Phoenix still wants to pay them back.

Phoenix and Maya go to investigate the Caretaker's shack, only to find it abandoned (except, of course, for Polly). They search the safe and find a letter... about getting revenge on Miles Edgeworth! The letter details everything uncovered in court! When it's shown to Edgeworth though, he isn't sure who wants revenge on him. Since the letter says the plan is forgetting revenge on the "two men" who ruined the receiver's life (Hammond and Edgeworth) and mentions the statute of limitations being almost up for the DL-6 incident, Edgeworth figures it's most likely that the Caretaker is Yanni Yogi, the suspect for that case.

That leaves the question of why Yogi wants revenge, since Edgeworth explains that Yogi was declared Not Guilty. However Edgeworth also brings up a nightmare he's had every night, since the incident. In it, he relives the time trapped in that elevator. Seeing Yogi attack his father, he throws the gun to stop the assault. Just before he hears the gun go off. Edgeworth worries that his nightmare isn't actually a nightmare, but that he really did cause the gun to go off. If that's the case, it's very likely that Edgeworth shot his own father, and that Yogi hates Edgeworth for getting away while he was put on trial wrongly.

Phoenix and Maya visit Grossberg, for more information on the DL-6 Incident. Grossberg explains how Gregory Edgeworth, on the day of his death, had gone against von Karma in court and tried to expose his underhanded prosecution tactics. Grossberg also tells how Misty Fey channeled Gregory's spirit to see if he knew the name of the killer, leading to him accusing Yanni Yogi. Since Yogi was found innocent, Grossberg wonders if Gregory lied to protect his son. When Phoenix brings up the letter about revenge on Edgeworth and Hammond, Grossberg tells how Hammond was a great defense attorney, but only won for his own sake and not for that of his client. When asked about von Karma, Grossberg tells how Gregory got von Karma a penalty for faulty evidence, which was the only penalty ever on von Karma's trial record. This shook von Karma so much, that he took the only vacation he ever took, after that trial. It's possible von Karma is getting revenge on Gregory via Miles Edgeworth, and will bring up the DL-6 incident to get Edgeworth declared guilty for it. Since Grossberg recognizes the revenge letter as being in von Karma's handwriting, this is looking incredibly likely.

Needing more information on DL-6, Phoenix and Maya go to the Records Room, only to find von Karma got there before them and cleaned out all information on that case. Uh oh! Clutching the IdiotBall, Phoenix shows von Karma the letter about revenge. von Karma thanks him for returning it. Phoenix refuses to hand it over and finds himself at the business end of von Karma's stun gun, in spite of Maya's efforts to defend him. When the pair come to, von Karma has stolen the letter and all of the DL-6 evidence, save for a bullet that Maya managed to get off of von Karma before he fried her. It's none other than the bullet removed from Gregory's heart! This will be added to the evidence list, as Phoenix and Maya brace themselves for the upcoming trial.

Von Karma will kick off the trial by predicting the proceedings will only last for three minutes. He then calls the Caretaker to the stand. When Phoenix protests that the Caretaker isn't giving his name, von Karma explains that the Caretaker is unable to recall events from his long-term memory. He assures the court that the witness recalls events from three days ago just fine, so on that reassuring note, the Caretaker begins his testimony.

Phoenix presses the Caretaker on what he saw that night. The Caretaker insists that he heard Edgeworth say "I can't believe he's dead", even though yesterday, he told Phoenix he couldn't remember what Edgeworth allegedly said. The Judge seems swayed, especially with von Karma explaining the fingerprint issue with saying that Edgworth simply wiped off the gun after shooting. Phoenix has no evidence to support Edgworth, so the Judge declares him Guilty. It looks like all is lost...

When there's a cry of "Wait!", and a surprise witness takes the stand. It's... Larry Butz! Who's less than optimal, as far as witnesses go, but claims he remembered more things about the night of the murder. With no other options, Phoenix cross-examines him. Edgworth encourages Phoenix to take advantage of the opportunity, since this is the first time ever that von Karma has not had a chance to prep a witness.

Larry's testimony is incredibly vague, but Phoenix is still able to find a contradiction - Larry only claims to have heard one gunshot, while both Lotta Hart and the Caretaker testified to hearing two. Larry admits that he might have missed the other gunshot, because he was listening to the radio and his headphones were blocking most other sounds. Oh dear. Larry testifies about his radio, stating that he can remember the words the DJ said as the gunshot went off. Thus, Phoenix argues, it's proven that Larry didn't mistaken the gunshot for some sort of instrument. Upon being pressed, Larry recalls that the DJ said it was "almost Christmas".

Phoenix realizes that there were actually ''three'' gunshots fired that night, two after midnight (which Lotta and the Caretaker heard) and one before midnight (which Larry heard). As proof, he submits the photograph Lotta gave him. It doesn't matter that it's empty, it matters that it exists at all. The camera wouldn't have one off without some loud noise to trigger it!

von Karma demands that Phoenix explains everything. After thinking things out, Phoenix finally realizes that the gunshot Larry heard was the murderer killing Robert Hammond. From there, the murderer disguised himself as Hammond and got in the boat with Edgeworth, before firing twice into the water (once to get the attention of potential witnesses and once to stage the "murder"), before falling out of the boat. When the Judge asks for the name of the murderer, however, Phoenix cannot give it. Not because he has no leads, but because the suspect hadn't given it! Yes, he believes the Caretaker is the murderer!

The Judge calls for the Caretaker to be brought in for more questioning, but he's disappeared! Oh no! The Judge declares that the trial be extended another day, until the Caretaker can be found. Phoenix and Maya are relieved, but Edgeworth is still anxious. He alludes to feeling guilty over a crime he committed.

her. When Phoenix meets Gumshoe by Gourd Lake though, the detective says that Edgeworth already paid Maya's bail in full, as thanks for her sticking up for him in court.

With Maya now in tow, Phoenix continues to search Gourd Lake for clues. Lotta Hart shows up again and promises to make up for her irresponsible behavior by giving some valuable evidence...in exchange for proof Gordy does or doesn't exist. Gumshoe "helps" by giving Phoenix his pick of three things to help on his investigation. Using the metal detector, Phoenix finds an air tank which naturally belongs to Larry. Larry explains how the tank flew off several days ago and he only managed to find it on Christmas Eve. The picture of Gordy was actually the tank falling into the lake, meaning the whole thing was Larry's doing (when something smells, and all that). Phoenix tells this all to Lotta, who's disappointed but keeps her word. She tells Phoenix that the second witness is the man who runs the Boat Shop Rental place, nearby. She also gives Phoenix the second picture her camera took, even though it only is of an empty lake.

Phoenix and Maya meet with the boat rental man, who seems under the impression that the two are his children, Keith and Meg, and that they've come to inherit his pasta shop. Seeing Phoenix's attorney badge is enough to briefly get him to realize the two aren't his kids, and to get him to explain how he saw the events of the murder. He also tells how he has his parrot, Polly, remember all of his valuable information, including the combination of his safe. As Phoenix and Maya leave, Maya asks Polly if they've forgotten anything. Polly replies with "Don't forget DL-6", much to their shock.

Phoenix decides that they need more information on the DL-6 incident, so he takes Maya to the police station for more leads. After proving to Gumshoe that DL-6 is relevant to the case, Phoenix gets permission to examine the Records Room. Inside, they read the DL-6 file and learn that the incident took place fifteen years ago, when an earthquake destroyed half of the courthouse and caused Miles Edgeworth (then a child), his father, Gregory Edgeworth, and a bailiff named Yani Yogi to be trapped in an elevator for five hours. When they were rescued, Miles and Yanni were unconscious from lack of oxygen and Gregory had been shot through the heart. It couldn't have been suicide and the murder weapon was a pistol found in the elevator, which had been fired twice. The suspect, who Misty Fey named, was Yanni Yogi, however Yanni got off thanks to the defense of Robert Hammond, who argued that his client suffered brain damage and thus could not be held accountable for his actions. Interesting.

The file says that Yanni Yogi disappeared shortly after he was declared Not Guilty. Where could he possibly be? Phoenix suspects that it's closer than they think.

!Behind the Turnabout

Fifteen years ago, Gregory Edgeworth lost a case to Manfred von Karma, however was able to have von Karma penalized for a flaw in his evidence. This was the only penalty on von Karma's otherwise perfect trial record, leaving the prosecutor furious.

After the trial, Gregory, Miles, and Yanni Yogi got in the courtroom elevator, where they were trapped because of an earthquake. Panicked and nearly unconscious from oxygen deprivation, Yanni Yogi attacked Gregory. Trying to save his father, Miles threw a dropped gun at Yogi. The gun went off just as everyone in the elevator passed out.

Outside of the elevator, von Karma was stewing over his recent penalty when he heard the gun go off. The bullet went through the elevator window and hit him in the shoulder, driving him even more crazy with anger and pain. At this point the electricity came back on, so he was able to enter the elevator before the three men woke up. Using the gun he found inside, he shot Gregory for revenge. Because none of the three people there knew von Karma was present, Yogi was left as the most likely suspect. He was named the killer by Gregory Edgeworth, who was channeled by Misty Fey, however Gregory himself hadn't seen the shooter and possibly lied to keep Miles from being accused. Yogi was assigned Robert Hammond as a defense attorney, and Hammond instructed him to pretend to have brain damage from the incident. While it was enough to get Yogi declared Not Guilty, his life was ruined as a result. The entire case became known as the DL-6 Incident. Meanwhile, von Karma took Miles in and raised him to be a ruthless prosecutor, all while letting Edgeworth believe that he secretly killed Gregory himself.

Three days before the stature of limitations ran out on the DL-6 Incident, von Karma sent Yanni Yogi instructions on how to kill Hammond and frame Edgeworth for it. Yogi shot Hammond shortly before midnight on Christmas Eve, and then disguised himself as the defense attorney. He then met with Edgeworth on a boat on Gourd Lake, where he fired two shots into the water and then swam away. The gunshots triggered Lotta Hart's camera to take pictures of the incident (which had been planned by von Karma), but also unexpectedly picked up and took a picture for the gunshot that killed Hammond. From there, Yogi returned to his previous role as the insane boat rental man, where he would pretend to have witnessed the entire thing.

!Day 2 - Trial

Phoenix and Maya learn that they are going against Edgeworth's mentor; prosecutor legend Manfred von Karma, a fancy-dressing scary-sounding German who has been prosecutor for 40 years. He also ''never lost a case''. And he would do whatever it takes to keep his record clean, no matter how cruel or even if it the defendant is innocent. He might as well be the one controlling the court. What's worse is that Maya is too weak to contact Mia because she didn't train for the past couple of months. Edgeworth admits that he didn't fire the gun at the victim.

Right out of the bat, Manfred makes things incredibly difficult for Phoenix, from the fingerprints of Edgeworth's right hand on the gun, to expecting the judge to be just there to deliver the Guilty verdict. When Lotta was called up, she gave out a vague testimony. It's implies that Manfred could be hiding something. She mentions that there were two men at the boat, but after being pushed by Maya (leaning her contempt of court under Manfred's call, Lotta admits that she isn't sure who shot the gun. After more testimonies, she finally admits that she was at the lake so that she could see Gourdy. Eventually she shows an enlarged photograph of the "crime" taking place. Here Phoenix sees a major flaw. It turns out that the one person was being firing the other person with his left hand, while fingers show Edgeworth's right.

The man who fired the gun was actually the victim himself, not Edgeworth. The victim couldn't have committed suicide as the autopsy shows that the gunshot was fired from just too far away. Therefore, a gun was fired, but no one was killed. This needs more investigating.

And so, the Judge adjourns court without declaring any verdict.

One foggy night, two men are on a boat reminiscing their older day. One man mentions his suffering and he can't take it anymore. A gun is brought out and a shot is heard. A man falls in the lake. Miles Edgeworth looks in shock as he holds the gun in his hand.

!Day 1 - Investigation

On the news, Phoenix and Maya hear about a murder has occurred at Gourd Lake, a lake famed for sea monster Gourdy. They head to the Detention Center and discover Miles Edgeworth as the accused. He refuses your help but Phoenix isn't letting him go. At the crime scene, Gumshoe, who doesn't tell them alot. They also find a popper which Maya takes it and uses it on a sound sensitive camera, which uses all of it's rolls.

A woman with a heavy southern accent named Lotta Hart comes and berates the two. Lotta says she is here to watch a meteor shower. Gumshoe comes back and gives Phoenix a photo of the victim, who looks familiar to Maya. Lotta says that her camera caught the murder in the act when the gunfire triggered the camera.

The duo runs into Santa - sorry - Larry Butz, the accused from the first case. Maya learns that Larry, Phoenix, and Edgeworth went to grade school together. Strange. They also learn more about Gourdy, a sea monster that is known for it's popping sound.

Suddenly, Maya remembers the victim's face. He used to work with Mia. They ask Grossberg about this and they learn that this man's name is Robert Hammond. He was the defense for The DL-6 Incident. (The one with the spirit medium attempt) The medium was named Misty Fey. The victim of the case was Gregory Edgeworth, Miles Edgeworth's father. They ask Edgeworth about this and he says he was a witness in that case. He never wanted to revisit the case but now he is accused in a case related to that case. He asks Phoenix to defend him, which he happily accepts.

Suddenly an earthquake hits. The next thing they know Edgeworth is writhing in a corner. He seems to be afraid of earthquakes. Which is weird for Phoenix, as Edgeworth never had that as a kid.

!Behind the Turnabout

5 years ago television star Jack Hammer was doing some practice with his fellow co-worker on Studio Two at Global Studios. Suddenly, Hammer accidentally kills said co-worker by impaling him on a very sharp gate of a flowerbed. A paparazzi caught the moment on tape but he was caught by newly hired producer, Dee Vasquez. She silenced the paparazzi and ordered the photo destroyed. However, crazed old fangirl Wendy Oldbag grabbed it before they could do so.

Vasquez offered to keep his accident a secret but as long as he pays the price. Ever since the incident, Hammer took a fall from stardom, to the point where he had to play a villain while a new star, Will Powers, gained the stardom that Hammer wants had. Unwilling to go through all this, he decided to end it all by killing Vasquez.

On a very windy October day, Powers sprained his left ankle during practice and broke the spear prop. Powers decides to take a lunch break but not before Hammer drugged his lunch with sleeping pills after finishing his meal, Powers takes a nap.

Hammer then steals the Steel Samurai costume and duct taped spear and heads past Wendy Oldbag and the camera while emulating Powers's sprained ankle. He wanted to frame Powers out of shear jealousy for Powers's fame.

He goes to Studio Two, where Vasquez and the director Sal Manella were having a lunch break. Hammer tried to use the spear against her but it was broken. Vasquez then pushed Hammer into the spiky garden gate, impaling him to death as Hammer did with the co-worker five years ago. Irony!

Vasquez then called up Manella to cover up the crime. They took Hammer's body out of the Steel Samurai costume, burned the bloodied Samurai costume in the incinerator, had Manella drive the body to Studio One using a van. (The normal way was blocked by weather debris), dressed the body in the Evil Magistrate costume and put the samurai spear next to the body to frame Powers.

!Day 4 - Trial

This time Vasquez is called up into court. She begins by reaccounting where she was at the time of the murder, she even mentioned eating T-bone steaks, which doesn't make sense the were no bones on their plates like Hammer and Powers's were. Phoenix says that they didn't eat the steaks because they were too busy encountering the Steel Samurai.

Phoenix then points the finger at Vasquez, but she couldn't have used the spear, which Phoenix agrees. But it doesn't matter because because the spear wasn't the murder weapon. The spear was broken so it couldn't be the weapon.

So if the spear wasn't the murder weapon, then what was? Phoenix then rattles the mystery. Vasquez had pushed Hammer into the flowerbed. The gate impaled Hammer as Hammer did to a co-worker 5 years ago. So how did they move the body? They used a van, driven by Malenna.

Vasquez testifies once more but kept slipped up. She thought Hammer was injured when in fact he was emulating Powers's injured ankle. He wanted to pin the blame on him. This proves that Vasquez only met Hammer.

But Vasquez had a motive right? Actually, no. In fact, it was Hammer that wanted to kill Vasquez. He couldn't handle the suffering Vasquez made him go through. So to kill his problems, he tried to kill Vasquez, but it was he who bit the dust.

At this point Vasquez finally confesses and Powers is off the hook.

Will is free to go, but there is still one question, why would Hammer try to pin the blame on Powers. Phoenix explains that it's because Hammer was jealous of Powers's fame as the Steel Samurai. He believed that he had taken his glory from him.

Edgeworth walks up to Phoenix and declare themselves rivals. Meanwhile, Global Studios decided to continue with kid shows, starting with The Pink Princess, whose design was inspired by Maya's medium get-up.

At the Studios they learn from Oldbag that Manella is pretty much a slave to Vasquez. They later into Gumshoe, who reveals that Hammer had indeed drugged Powers. Penny then tells them that The Steel Samurai, to Maya's horror, will be getting cancelled so people would forget about the crime. When they show her Cody's album, Penny reveals that Hammer "accidentally" killed someone five years ago, and Vasquez kept it quiet. Oldbag then confesses that a paparazzi caught the moment when Hammer killed a fellow co-worker. Vasquez, who actually has ties to the mafia, had used the photo against him since the incident. Luckly, Oldbag kept the photo safe and hands to the duo.

Phoenix presents the photo to Vasquez. He then accuses her of blackmailing Hammer about the incident, ruining his stardom. Vasquez wanted the photo to be destroyed, but it seemed Oldbag nabbed it before it could happen. Phoenix refuses to give her the photo so Vasquez decides to call her "crew" to have them "erased".

Fortunately, Gumshoe arrives and puts Vasquez under arrest. It looks like things are starting to look up.

!Day 3 - Trial

Edgeworth calls Manella to the stand. Here, Phoenix and Mia learn that they had a break in Studio 2 for fifteen minutes. And the murder just happen to take place during those fifteen minutes. However, this still doesn't change the fact that no one left studio 2.

After a short break, Cody was called up and his testimony reveals that he didn't have his camera with him. Phoenix had to do some pushing, but eventually Cody kept trying to be vague. The reason? The Steel Samurai had lost and Cody couldn't bring himself to believe it happened.

Phoenix concludes that the man in the costume wasn't Will Powers, but Jack Hammer, the victim. Cody, relieves that it wasn't really the Steel Samurai who was killed, finally reveals that he did take some photos. He presents them to the court.

At a glance, it doesn't show anything vital, but Mia points out otherwise. A large number 2 seems to be hanging in the photo.

This completely changes everything. It turns out the fight took place in Studio Two, which means that the Studio Two is the real crime scene, not Studio One. And since everyone else was at Studio Two at the time, this means that they were there when the crime took place!

So why would Jack Hammer steal the Steel Samurai costume? And how? Phoenix shows that there were sleeping drugs found near Powers's plate. And if the fingerprints were right, then Hammer would have drugged Powers with sleeping pills.

The Judge extends the trial for another day and asks Phoenix to find out why Hammer drugged Powers and who the real killer is.

!Day 2 - Investigation

Phoenix and Maya decide to look around Studio Two for a bit, which they couldn't do before was previously blocked by the debris from a storm from the day of the murder. There, they find some interesting stuff, the number 2 on the sign, some soot in the incinerator, and a very uncomfortable looking flowerbed. Penny is acting as a guard today and her job is to lock up anything that kids would go through (which Maya unlocks)

In the dressing room they meet the leet-speaking director of Steel Samurai, Sal Maleena, who claims to have been in a meeting at studio two at the time of the murder. Well he's no good. Pheonix then runs into a very upset Wendy Oldbag, who says she was let go because she couldn't fit inside the costume. She's no good either. They then ran into the kid, Cody Hackins, who is also a nut for Steel Samurai and claims to have seen everything. He then runs off. Not fit for murder anyways. They find a key to the Studio 2 trailer and, what else, go inside the studio 2 trailer with it.

Inside Phoenix and Maya meet the producer Dee Vasquez, who is known for saving Global Studios in the past. After running an errand for her, she reveals that she was part of the meeting on Studio 2. They could have gone to Studio One had Mr. Monkey's head not been blocking the path. The head fell before the murder took place and was removed after the crime took place so there was no way people could get to the scene of the crime as it happened. Both the producer and the director were trapped at Studio 2 when the crime took place. Therefore, they have a very convincing alibi.

It seems everything is at a dead end. That is until Maya contacts Mia, who reminds Phoenix that Cody Hackins, the kid they saw earlier, said that he saw everything. She suggests to Phoenix that they would need some details on what he saw.

So Phoenix and Mia went back to Globals Studio and, after some trading card shenanigans, Cody claims to have been there when the Steel Samurai killed the um... bad guy. This doesn't look good for Powers, but things get worse when Gumshoe arrives, says to have heard everything, and puts him under protection.

Now it's highly likely that Cody would be called up and give details about the Steel Samurai's "victory".

!Day 2 - Trial

Edgeworth calls in Oldbag as his witness to the crime. She reveals that the reason she was sure it was Powers inside the costume in the photo is that during rehearsal, Powers sprained his ankle and in the photo, you could see The Steel Samurai dragging his foot across the floor, She also claims that no one else went past the camera though the photo that took the photo of the guy in the costume was labeled #2, so he can't have been the the only one who passed it. Oldbag retaliates by claiming she threw away the other photo. She remembers seeing a fanboy earlier today. Before Phoenix says anything, Edgeworth points out that the spear would be too heavy for a child to hold so he can't have been the killer.

During recess Phoenix and crew are out of options so they decide to convince the court to extend the trial for another day. They do this by accusing Oldbag, since she doesn't have an alibi and she knew about Power's ankle.

Not willing to face charges against murder, Oldbag reveals that she had been told to hide something else regarding the crime. She reveals that two more people were at the studio that day; the director and the producer.

With this new information out of the bag, the judge calls off the trial for today.

Frank Sahwit, who claims to be a salesman, claims to walk in on Larry just in time to see him do in his girlfriend. After his first testimony, Phoenix discovered that Sahwit got the time wrong. But how? After a series of testimonies, Phoenix discovers that the statue is actually a clock, a gift from Larry. Sahwit got the time wrong because the clock got it wrong as it wasn't changed back after the victim came home from a vacation. Using this logic, you conclude that Sahwit was the murderer as he was the only guy around to have heard the clock. He must have activated the clock when he hit Cindy's head with it.

him. He has been accused for murdering Jack Hammer, who played the Evil Magistrate, the Samurai's arch enemy by impaling his chest with his prop. He denies killing Hammer as he was taking a nap as it happened.

Phoenix and Maya go to Global Studios and find a grouchy elderly woman, Wendy Oldbag, who tells them that Jack Hammer was once a star until ten years ago. She is certain that Powers was guilty as she claims to have seen him when the murder took place. After getting a pass from Powers, Phoenix and Maya enter global studios but isn't allowed in the Employee Area.

They meet Gumshoe, who tells them that the reason Powers was arrested is that he was the only person to have gone to the studios, the scene of the crime. Also Oldbag is a sucker for detectives so she gave them very valuable evidence. They try to enter Studio One, but it was locked, so Phoenix and Maya look elsewhere. They searched the Employee Area and find a plate with a steak bone and a drain that looks like a child could fit through. They also find a cardkey in Power's purse.

With the cardkey, they arrive at the scene of the crime. There, they find a friendly assistant named Penny Nichols, who actually believes that Powers is innocent but doesn't know if he actually was napping at the time of the crime. She did however claim to have sensed someone...

After telling Penny's claim to Oldbag, the old security guard runs off to hunt down the assistant. Phoenix and Maya take advantage of this and checked the computer Oldbag was so sensitive about. It contains a picture of the Steel Samurai, but is it really Will Powers in that suit?

Cindy Marrow!?!?!?


It is Phoenix Wright's very first court trial as a lawyer and is understandably very nervous. Not only is the defendant accused for murdering his girlfriend, Cindy Marrow with a statue, but he would be defending his idiot friend, Larry Butz. They even have a witness against him. Thankfully his mentor, Mia Fey comes to make things a lot easier for him (and by easy we mean lending a tutorial for this game).

It turned out to be unsuccessful. It turned out the man the victim accused of was innocent. One of the lawyers mentioned this to information center Blue Corps CEO Redd White, who labeled the spirit medium as a fraud out in public and made her the laughing stock to the nation. The medium couldn't bear the humiliation and went into hiding. Grossberg felt guilty for revealing the investigation with the medium (now known as the "DL-6 Incident") so White offered Grossberg to clear his name... but with a price.

Years later, Mia Fey, daughter of the medium, left the village to become a lawyer. She put much of her work on investigating Redd White, the man she declared her enemy. It turned out that Blue Corps earned it's success and wealth through blackmail. White had many high profile people bend under his will by essentially holding them hostage and take their wealth from them from his own needs. Some even committed suicide to get away from it all.

One week later, Mia phoned her sister Maya and told her that she had some evidence against White ready. This confirmed White's suspicions; Mia was trying to put him under law and the only way to stop her for good is death. There is even someone he can blame. He decided to have a quick visit to her, but not without assistance. He booked a room in the Gatewater Hotel, which is across Mia's office, along with his secretary April May. He then strolled into Mia's office as April stayed in the hotel room, Mia tried to run for the door (White's left and April's right) but White was much quicker.

!Behind the Turnabout

15 years ago, a murder took place and what took place baffled investigator. They decided that modern technology and forensic expertise weren't helping so they decide to take the next logical step: use a spirit medium to contact the victim and tell us who had done it. He's the victim after all so with the knowledge the should gain in the afterlife he should know who the killer was.

It turned out to be unsuccessful. It turned out the man the victim accused of was innocent. One of the lawyers mentioned this to information center Blue Corps CEO Redd White, who labeled the spirit medium as a fraud out in public and made her the laughing stock to the nation. The medium couldn't bear the humiliation and went into hiding. Grossberg felt guilty for revealing the investigation with the medium (now known as the "DL-6 Incident") so White offered Grossberg to clear his name... but with a price.

Years later, Mia Fey, daughter of the medium, left the village to become a lawyer. She put much of her work on investigating Redd White, the man she declared her enemy. It turned out that Blue Corps earned it's success and wealth through blackmail. White had many high profile people bend under his will by essentially holding them hostage and take their wealth from them from his own needs. Some even committed suicide to get away from it all.

Unfortunately, White himself took notice of Mia's actions. He decided to spy on her. He took out a wiretap and put it in Mia's office.

One week later, Mia phoned her sister Maya and told her that she had some evidence against White ready. This confirmed White's suspicions; Mia was trying to put him under law and the only way to stop her for good is death. There is even someone he can blame. He decided to have a quick visit to her, but not without assistance. He booked a room in the Gatewater Hotel, which is across Mia's office, along with his secretary April May.

The trial begins with White's testimony of "witnessing" the crime. When asked to be more specific, White mentions Mia ran to the left before she was clobbered. However, April's testimony stated that Mia ran to the right. It's a contradiction, but both witness aren't wrong. April saw Mia ran right because she saw the crime from a window across the street. White saw her ran left because he was inside the office at the time. This didn't help his case especially since he mentioned a lamp that fell, which couldn't possibly see from his hotel room. This proves that White was indeed inside Mia's office that night...

...But it doesn't prove that White actually DID kill Mia, as Edgeworth points out. He was simply there to do some wiretapping, as you have proven. White mentions that he put it there the week before the murder. That was when he saw the lamp.

Phoenix fails to find anything wrong with his testimony. It looks like it's all over for him...

That is until he hears Mia's voice. But isn't she dead? Well she is, but Maya finally managed to contact the late lawyer, who shows Phoenix that she bought the lamp the day before the murder took place. White could not have seen it because he put the wiretap on Mia a week before the murder, so he could not have seen the lamp because it wasn't there at the time.

With this new information, Phoenix makes White eats his words and clears his name. Hooray!

Later, Phoenix inherents Mia's office, makes Maya his assistant (or is it the other way around?) And has the ghost of his mentor as his spirit mentor, ready to help when he needs her... like it or not.

Phoenix decides to get a lawyer for Maya, so he heads to Grossberg Law Offices and asks Grossberg, Mia's mentor and friend, to take Maya's case. However, he turns it down. In fact, no one was willing to take Maya's case.

Undaunted, Phoenix decides to take the case himself. He talks to Maya again and learns that 15 years ago, her family was involved in a murder case. Her mother was used to channel the victim and identify the murderer. Unfortunately, the accused was proven innocent. Then, a man called "White" declared the medium a fraud and made her the laughing stock of the nation. Unable to take the shame, the medium ran away and hasn't been seen since.

After another failed attempt to get something out of a very unbubbly but still bouncy April, Phoenix takes some time to do some more investigating around here. He eventually learns that a man named Redd White, CEO of Blue Corps was the person that checked in with April the night of the murder. He goes to meet White himself, who reveals that Blue Corps buys and sells information, even sensitive ones. Also, even if he has something to do with night of the murder,it's apparently impossible to put White on the witness stand as the law is his "toy". Phoenix then notices a painting - the same painting he saw at Grossburg's office. White responds by ''punching Phoenix in the face'' and dares him to tell Grossberg about it.

Phoenix meets Grossberg again, this time the painting is not there. This leaves Phoenix with the conclusion that Redd White was blackmailing Grossberg. It turns out Grossburg was the one who told White about the "DL-6 Incident", which turned out to be a very bad thing to do. White offered to clear out Grossburg's name, but with a price.

And it wasn't just Grossberg whom White was blackmailing. It turns out a lot of high profile people were under Blue Corps, cold-hearted grip, some even committed suicide! It turned out that Mia was investigating people who were blackmailed by White before her death.

After Phoenix presents his case to White, White decides to testify in court tomorrow - against Phoenix! White wasn't kidding when he said the law was his toy, as he has the power to turn the finger towards anyone he please.

And so now Phoenix Wright is the prime suspect for murdering his own mentor. On the the bright side, at least Maya is cleared.

!Day 1 - Trial

It is Phoenix Wright's very first court trial as a lawyer and is understandably very nervous. Not only is the defendant accused for murdering his girlfriend, Cindy Marrow with a statue, but he would be defending his idiot friend, Larry Butz. They even have a witness against him. Thankfully his mentor, Mia Fey comes to make things a lot easier for him (and by easy we mean lending a tutorial for this game).

Frank Sahwit, who claims to be a salesman, claims to walk in on Larry just in time to see him do in his girlfriend. After his first testimony, Phoenix discovered that Sahwit got the time wrong. But how? After a series of testimonies, Phoenix discovers that the statue is actually a clock, a gift from Larry. Sahwit got the time wrong because the clock got it wrong as it wasn't changed back after the victim came home from a vacation. Using this logic, you conclude that Sahwit was the murderer as he was the only guy around to have heard the clock. He must have activated the clock when he hit Cindy's head with it.

And so Larry was acquitted and Sahwit was taken in. Larry however, was sad because he thought Cindy didn't like him. So Phoenix presented the Statue to him to show that Cindy actually did care.

!Behind The Case

One day, Larry Butz was in an apartment waiting for his girlfriend Cindy Marrow who just came back from Paris. Cindy took to long too return so Larry had decided leave the place and come back another time. However, Larry forgot to lock the door on his way out.

Enter Frank Sahwit, a burglar who disguises himself as some sort of salesman. He saw Larry leave with the door open and saw this as an opportunity to take some stuff for himself. What can go wrong?

In the middle of his burglary, Cindy finally arrived, only to see a stranger wrecking her apartment. Panicking, Sahwit grabbed a statuette/clock hybrid and hit her in the head with it, killing her. The force from the impact activated the clock by claiming it was 1:00 PM, which was incorrect as Cindy had not changed the clock back from her vacation.

Fearing any trouble he could get out of this, Sahwit remembered the other person leaving the apartment and decided to pin the murder on him, while claiming to be the witness. Again, what could go wrong?
