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 decided to end her investigation '''permanently'''. There is even someone he can blame, the little sister who may also know of Mia's investigations. White 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 to create an alibi, Mia tried to run for the door (White's left and April's right) but White was much quicker. In the struggle, they knock over a lamp Mia bought the day before. White took the empty "Thinker" clock (that Mia referred into in the phone call) and hit Mia's head with it, killing her. He then took Mia's blood, writes Maya's name with it on the receipt of the lamp, take's several of Mia's files on him, leaves, and has April call the cops on Maya. He would be able to rest easy with the knowledge that Mia Fey was no longer a threat to him...

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 4 - Trial

...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 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 object lodged inside on one of von Karma's shoulders. It must be the bullet fired from the same gun that killed Gregory.

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.

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

On the news, Phoenix and Maya hear about a sea monster has appeared at Gourd Lake, a lake known for the gourds that grew at the days of old. They also learn that a murder has occurred there, with Miles Edgeworth as the accused! Shocked by the news, they go to the Detention Center to learn more. Edgeworth refuses Phoenix's help but Phoenix isn't letting him go. At the crime scene, Gumshoe is enraged about Edgeworth's predicament. He doesn't know a lot except that a camper caught a photo of the crime scene an even plans to enlarge it.

As they explore Gourdy Lake, Maya takes a party popper and uses it on a sound powered camera, using up an entire reel. A woman with a heavy southern accent named Lotta Hart comes and berates the two. Lotta claims 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 appeared after a popping sound.

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.

Right out of the bat, von Karma 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. It's as if he is the one running the court. Lotta was called up. She gave out a vague testimony. She mentions that there were two men at the boat. Lotta is being very vague throughout her cross-examination and von Karma is stopping Phoenix from pressing any issues further. It seems he is hiding something. It seems that Lotta is about to leave, but after being pushed by Maya, Lotta claims that she did saw Edgeworth shot the gun. Maya's outburst leaned her contempt of court under von Karma's call. After more testimonies, she finally admits that she wasn't paying attention to the boat after the bang, as she wanted to see Gourdy rise up from the lake. This lessens her worth as a decisive witness. Eventually, much to von Karma's chagrin, 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. She didn't show it in the first place because von Karma wanted her to shut up about it.

And so, the Judge adjourns court without declaring any verdict. Edgeworth wants Phoenix to tell Maya to watch herself, but it seems clear that he wanted to say something different.

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 a lot. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When taking one last trip to Gatewater, Phoenix meets a bellboy, who tells Phoenix that April works for a guy named "White". He also finds a wiretap in a drawer. Phoenix concludeds this evidence could be helpful for the trial the next day and leaves.

This trial introduces us to Miles Edgeworth, an infamous attorney known as a "Demon Prosecutor"; plauged with numerous rumors of tampering with evidence & witnesses.

After a failed attempt to find contradictions from Gumshoe's testimony, Phoenix finds better luck with a very bubbly and bouncy April's testimony, who somehow knew that the murder weapon is a clock, when in fact it was impossible for her to know it was a clock as there was no clockwork in the statuette at the time of the murder and it wasn't sold in any stores. The only way she might have heard it was in Maya's phonecall, which Phoenix proves by presenting the wiretap.

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. White also heavily imples that, even if he has something to do with night of the murder, it would be next to impossible to put White on the witness stand as the law is a "toy" to him. Phoenix then notices a painting - the same painting he saw at Grossburg's office. White responds by ''punching Phoenix in the face'', informs him that an attempt for an assault charge would fail and dares the attorney to ask Grossberg about why he no longer owns the painting.

And it wasn't just Grossberg whom White was blackmailing; Grossberg reveals that White was also blackmailing a high number a lot of high profile people were through Blue Corps' "information gathering", including members in the legal field. Despite discovering that several of Mia's files had been stolen from the crime scene, Phoenix comes across a folder containing a number of newspaper articles of suicide reports with "White" written on them; it turned out that Mia was investigating people who were blackmailed by White, hoping to expose his practices, before her death.

It turned out to be unsuccessful. The man which the victim accused of the crime was declared innocent. One of the lawyers (Marvin Grossberg) sells this information to 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, after being defended by Grossberg himself in the fallout, 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 keep silent about his role... for 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 for his own needs. Some even committed suicide to get away from it all.

Mia turns back into Maya, who joins Phoenix into talking to Powers. Powers says that Dee Vasquez joined Global Studios around the same time Hammer lost his stardom. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They arrive at the department in half an hour and run into a blue dancing machine called the Blue Badger, the mascot of the Department. They also Gumshoe, who tells the two not to take Lana's case. Phoenix presents the wallet, and is told that Goodman was the victim. Gunshoe wasn't allowed in the records room, but he does give Phoenix and Ema permission to examine the car.

Phoenix decides to get a lawyer for Maya, so he heads to Grossberg Law Offices, complete with a lovely painting, 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 the "DL-6 Incident" in which her family was used in a murder investigation. 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. Later, Mia left the village to became a lawyer. He also learns that Mia, despite high hopes for him after his first case, considered him "three years" too early to lead a defense alone.

When taking one last trip to Gatewater, Phoenix meets a bellboy, who tells Phoenix that April works for a guy named "White". He also finds a wiretap in a drawer. Phoenix concludeds this evidence could be helpful for the trial.

This trial introduces us to Miles Edgeworth.

Under Phoenix's request, Edgeworth calls in the bellboy to confirm any suspicions. The bellboy reveals that someone else checked in a room from Gatewater with April at the night of the murder.

Phoenix concludes that the man with April may have something to do with the murder. With this information, the judge calls off the court.

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.

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...

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

Later, Phoenix inherits 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.

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. The man the victim accused of was innocent. One of the lawyers (Marvin Grossburg) 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.

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. 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. In the struggle, they knock over a lamp Mia bought the day before. White took the empty "Thinker" clock (that Mia referred into in the phone call) and hit Mia's head with it, killing her. He then took Mia's blood, writes Maya's name with it on the receipt of the lamp, leaves, and has April call the cops on Maya. Now Mia Fey is no longer a threat to him...

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.

The next day, Phoenix visits Maya at the detention center. There he learns that Maya comes from a family of spirit mediums who can contact the dead. Maya's power is too weak unfortunately so she can't contact Mia right now. After hearing about the phone call, Phoenix wants to hear it, but Maya says Gumshoe, a detective, has taken her phone from her. So Phoenix retrieves the phone from Gumshoe, who tells Phoenix that he will be facing an undefeated prosecutor named Miles Edgeworth, a name that doesn't sit well with our spikey-haired hero. Gumshoe also accidentally reveals that the witness will be April May, the woman Phoenix saw phone the police last night, who is staying at the Gatewater Hotel, which is across the street from Fey & Co. Offices. Phoenix goes there to question her but doesn't get anything out of her.

Undaunted, Phoenix decides to take the case himself. He talks to Maya again and learns that 15 years ago, her family was involved in the "DL-6 Incident" in which her family was used in a murder investigation. 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. Later, Mia left the village to became a lawyer.

When taking one last trip to Gatewater, Phoenix meets a bellboy, who tells Phoenix that April works for a guy named "White". He also finds a wiretap in a drawer. This could be helpful for tomorrow.

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 Stone 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).

Except Angel, Goodman, and especially Marshall were unsatisfied with the results of "SL-9". They knew something was up since the evidence Edgeworth provided didn't fit what they have. They decided to not let this die and investigate behind Gant's back.

Goodman's ID card was stolen, so he went to Gant to fill in a report. Gant would follow Goodman into the evidence room using his ID card. Goodman asked Gant to reopen the case from two years ago. He also wanted to give the evidence to Jake. Gant, rather than politely denying Goodman's request, decided it was better idea off him entirely. Gant took Darke's broken knife and stabbed Goodman to death, killing him instantly. Gant took Goodman's body inside the trunk of Edgeworth's car (which makes one wonder how he did that without being spotted). and give Edgeworth himself a quick errand which requires him to drive to the Prosecutor's Parking Garage. Gant called Lana and told her to head to the garage and dispose with the body. Lastly, Gant took contents out of Goodman's locker, and left with them, leaving the jar pieces and a glove, which would be wedge the door open. He smeared some blood on Gumshoe's locker.

(Work in progress)

!Day 4 - Trial Latter 2

Finally Marshall gives in and confesses to his crime. He does say that while there was a fight, no one was mortally wounded. He does however, blame Edgeworth for motivating him, due to his persistence. He didn't want SL-9 to die just yet so he tried to find something that would open the case again. He wasn't authorized to open evidence in the case so he stole and used Goodman's ID to get inside. He managed to open Goodman's locker thanks to the rubber glove conveniently jamming it open only to find the evidence wasn't there. Strangely the detectives don't know where it is.

So Marshall stole Goodman's ID, went to the locker room to steal some evidence only to end up assaulting a police officer. But, why? Marshall just couldn't let SL-9 die like it was. He then tells the court some very tragic motives and some details about SL-9.

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...

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 duo run into Marshall on the way to the evidence room, in a room full of wild west properties. He reveals that he is also investigating the case from two years ago, even though the case was forever closed two days ago, the day of the current murder. They sure seem persistent. Marshall helps Phoenix and Ema open up the door with his ID card. Marshall provides the list of ID cards used before the crime happened. One of the cards used was Goodman's, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. When Meekins asked for an ID, why didn't Goodman just show his ID instead of attacking the police officer?

In the darkness of night, Phoenix Wright arrives at Mia's office, only to see Mia's lifeless body limping on a wall, with a younger girl crying on her shoulder, Phoenix examines the scene and finds a bloodied Thinker, the same murder weapon from last case, with some clockwork missing from it, and a receipt with a blood-red MAYA written on it. This Maya is the younger girl, Maya Fey, Mia's younger sister, who is shocked to find her bloody name written on a piece of paper. He then notices a young woman across the alley presumingly phoning for the police.

2 months after the adventure in Gourdy Lake, an adolescent girl in glasses named Ema barges in Phoenix's office looking for Mia Fey... Even though Mia died several months ago (Looks like she doesn't get out much). Anyways she wants someone to help her sister out of a murder case. Phoenix initially wants to turn her case down (as he had done so in the past two months), but takes it after hearing "sister". Ema Skye, a junior high school student who has an obsession with scientific forensics, says her sister, Lana Skye, is acting very dark recently.

Things are ''really'' looking bleak for Lana now. Upon closer examination of the photograph though, Phoenix notices Lana's scarf shoved in the muffler of the car. He reminds the Judge of how Lana said that word before being arrested. Could this be important evidence? The Judge agrees and gives a half hour recess to figure it out (and to get lunch).

!Day 2 - Trial Latter

One day, Larry Butz was in an apartment waiting for his girlfriend Cindy Stone who just came back from Paris. Cindy took to long too return and there was a blackout 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?

We start off with a phone call between Mia and her sister. Mia claims to be holding some sort of evidence and wants Maya to do something for it. They then decide to get a dinner together.

2 months after the adventure in Gourdy Lake, an adolescent girl in glasses named barges in Phoenix's office looking for Mia Fey... Even though Mia died several months ago (Looks like she doesn't get out much). Anyways she wants someone to help her sister out of a murder case. Phoenix initially wants to turn her case down (as he had done so in the past two months), but takes it after hearing "sister". Ema Skye, a junior high school student who has an obsession with scientific forensics, says her sister, Lana Skye, is acting very dark recently.

At the detention center, Phoenix meets a very difficult Lana Skye, who is the Chief Prosecutor in the district. The crime happened in the parking garage under the Prosecutor's Office Building around 5:15PM and there is a witness who saw it happen. Lana actually confess to the crime and recommends that he doesn't take her case. She changes her mins when Ema scolds her for abandoning her sister. The way Lana was acting in the center scares Ema, as she knows that Lana was never like this until recent years. She used to be a very nice woman.

Phoenix and Ema investigate in the garage and they meet an officer in a wild west gettup, sorry, sheriff, who tells them not to touch the car. They decide to check on a wallet and with Ema's scientific method (as in showing off the DS's touching and three-dimensional capabilities), check the wallet's ID. Bruce Goodman, complete with an ID number. They then meet Angel Starr, a lunch-selling woman wearing a rich dress, who eplains that she saw Lana stab Goodman in cold blood. Yesterday, the offices held a "King of Prosecutors" ceremony, and car the body was found in belonged to the winner of that award. Also, Angel hates prosecutors. What's her beef?

Phoenix and Ema head into one of the prosecutor's office. Which happened to belong to Edgeworth, who says he was the winner of the "King of Prosecutors", which he detests dues to the rumors surrounding that he cheats to keep his record up. Also the car and the knife used to stab Goodman belonged to him. And nows he has to prove his own superior's guilt. Officer Mike Meekins comes in to alert Edgeworth with some evidence in a case. Though it doesn't concern Lana so he was put off. Edgeworth tells Phoenix to search the Police department, where Meekins works at.
