Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All/Episode 2: Reunion, and Turnabout/Part 2-1: Trial

Before Trial
Maya is shocked to hear you are facing Prosecutor von Karma. (his successor) You suddenly see Pearl, who says to have ran all of the way here. (She ran!? Wow!) Maya thinks about Miles Edgeworth for a moment. The man you faced in a couple of cases one year ago. Phoenix tells Maya not to mention that name, because Edgeworth is gone and isn't coming back. (What!? How!?) You head inside the courtroom.

Day Two: Court Mode
You are introduced to your opponent. A very young woman named Franziska von Karma, who says she is here for one thing, revenge (for her father?). Von Karma swears to defeat you and mocks you for your "foolish" plea to make a not guilty verdict. She calls Dick Gumshoe to the stand.

Gumshoe describes the crime with a map:


 * The Channeling Chamber has no windows and the door was locked shut.
 * At the time of the murder, only the victim and the defendant were in the room.
 * They were channeling a spirit.
 * A few minutes after the channeling started,
 * gunshots were heard coming from inside the room.
 * A few of the witnesses broke the door down, and rushed into the room.
 * That's when they found that the victim was already dead.

The Floor Plans will be added to the Court Record. The Judge has Gumshoe testify about how the victim was killed.

Gumshoe's Testimony: Cause of Death
Gumshoe presents the Autopsy Report, which will be added to the Court Record.

Cause of Death: Cross-Examination
Press Gumshoe's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th statements.

1st statement: The pistol belonged to Dr. Grey, but it has Maya's fingerprints all over it.

2nd statement: They could tell the shot was point-blank range, because there were gunpowder burns on his forehead.

3rd statement: The knife belonged to the Feys, and of course Maya's fingerprints were all over it.

5th statement: The shot in the forehead could have killed Dr. Grey instantly, so Dr. Grey would've been stabbed before shot.

The Judge accepts both the Knife and Pistol as murder weapons, they will be added to the Court Record.

Things are looking grim already, everything is implicating Maya for the murder. When given a choice of keeping your plea or make a "justified self defense" plea, choose Plead not guilty, because remember, you have the "key".

Von Karma has Gumshoe testify further about the evidence.

Gumshoe's Testimony: Incriminating Evidence
Maya's Costume will be added to the Court Record. Can you find a contradiction on this state?

Incriminating Evidence: Cross-Examination
Press on Gumshoe's 3rd statement. Lab tests show that it is the victims blood. You ask Gumshoe if there is anything else on the evidence, but von Karma makes an objection. Why did she do that all of the sudden? When given the choice, Press further, then choose There is one little thing.... You examine the costume. Look at the left sleeve. There seems to be a hole there. Present the hole. The Judge takes a look at it and smells gunpowder! It looks like someone tried to shoot her, but missed. Maya's Costume will be updated to the Court Record.

It looks like you found the hole, but von Karma tells the court otherwise, saying the evidence still stands. Unfortunately, The Judge agrees. Darn it you were close.

After updating Maya's Costume, Present it on Gumshoe's 4th statement. The bullet hole on Maya's sleeve indicates Dr. Grey did fought back after all. He probably tried to shoot Maya.

It seems everything is changed, but von Karma states you have made a mistake. What you had just said supports a "justified self defense" plea you refused earlier. Therefore, you have yet to prove anything. Not only that, but the hole on the costume isn't enough to substantiate a "justified self defense" plea! Whoops! Von Karma has Gumshoe testify about what transpired today, with new information.

What Transpired: Cross-Examination
Press on the 1st statement. It would be extremely difficult for Maya to find a chance. However, von Karma reminds you that Maya was in the middle of channeling. With the nurses build and height, she could have easily been a match.

Press on the 3rd statement. Gumshoe says Grey brought the gun two days prior to the crime, just in case something bad happens. Why would he bring a weapon in the channeling chamber?

Present Maya's Costume on the 4th statement. Take a close look at the bullet hole, where is the gunpowder burn? If the sleeve was shot at point-blank range, there should be gunpowder burn around it! Von Karma tries to explain the victim could have pushed the defendant away before firing. However, the stab wound weakened Dr. Grey greatly, so he wouldn't have the strength to fight back. Von Karma then explains the defendant pushed the victim before the latter fired. When chosen to agree or not, choose Something doesn't make sense.

Von Karma wants Phoenix to show her "hole" on her theory. Present the Folding Screen. There is a hole on it about 8 inches off the ground. If both the defendant's sleeve and the screen were shot at the same time, the defendant could be squatting down. You are asked to present where the defendant was standing. You automatically examine the floor plans. Present the spot just left of the hole is (the south side).

You are asked if your claim changes the case, choose It changes everything. Why would Maya be squatting near the folding screen when she should be preparing to attack?

It looks like you are getting somewhere, but von Karma is still smiling somehow. She accuses Gumshoe for damaging her perfect logic. She wants to call another witness to the stand. Lotta? The Judge calls a recess.

Recess
Pearl congratulates you for listening, making theories, and tricking everyone to believing you. (tricked?) Maya warns you if you don't win, her ghost will haunt you along with Mia.

Court Mode: Part 2
Von Karma calls Lotta Hart to the stand and has her testify about her account.

Lotta's Testimony: Witness' Account
Lotta presents the picture she took when you two entered. It contains what looks like Maya holding a pistol and Dr. Grey's lifeless body. You don't see Maya's face however. Lotta's Picture will be added to the Court Record. You begin the cross-examination.

Witness' Account: Cross-Examination
Press on all of Lotta's statements. You are given a choice on the 4th and 5th statements. It doesn't matter what you choose on each one.

Things have gotten from bad to worse. You are given a choice to present further. Choose Can't present anything yet as doing so would get you no where.

It looks like all hope seems lost, but you hear a voice. Mia's voice. It looks like Pearl has channeled Mia, yes Pearl! Mia tells you to recall the event when you first entered the crime scene. Yesterday, you told her Lotta took two shots! Why didn't Lotta tell this in her testimony?

You try to stop The Judge from ending cross-examination, but you are overruled. Fortunately, von Karma wants to hear more of Phoenix's claim and wants Lotta to testify further.

Witness' Account Pt.2: Cross-Examination
Press against Lotta's 4th statement. You told her about taking two pictures and ask why she didn't told the court about it in the first place. Lotta says von Karma told her to not say anything about it. Von Karma?! Why would she do such a thing. You are given a choice. It doesn't matter which, but Confront Franziska would be more humorous.

Von Karma says the reason she didn't submit the second picture in court is she didn't think it would be much use. Von Karma finally submits Lotta's Photo 2, which will be added to the Court Record. It shows a clear shot of Maya channeling a different person. You can even see her face!

You are given a choice weather to insist or not. Insist it's not Maya. You tell the court it proves that somebody else might have taken Maya's place. However, von Karma is still smiling, as she has another trick up her sleeve. She presents the court another picture. It shows you, in the Detention Center, talking to Mia's channeled spirit! This proves to the court Maya's power! She took a picture at the Detention Center!? That's illegal, which is why von Karma didn't submit the photo at first.

Things are going downhill. You look at Lotta's second photo. You wonder if there is something wrong with it. Choose I can prove it. You examine the photo. Look at the left-hand sleeve. Wasn't there a bullet hole there? Present the sleeve to the court. If Maya was squatting and the sleeve had a bullet hole in it during the fight, then it should be in the picture as well.

The Judge accuses von Karma for hiding the evidence, but von Karma says she wasn't informed, and blames the precinct. The fact that the bullet hole is on the sleeve on the costume you have now, but not in the picture, which took place after the crime has confused The Judge. This is it, when given the choice, choose The shooter is someone else.

This leaves two questions though, where did Maya vanish to, and how did the mysterious woman sneak in? It looks like you have to look at this in a different angle. When given the choice, choose Maya had left the room. When asked to present how, Present the Black Key. There is only one key like this. Maya had the key when she entered the room. You saw Pearl with the key, and she is nowhere near the scene at the time of the crime! If that is so, then Maya might have left the room with the key!

With this, you have given The Judge a reason to adjourn court for today. You have frustrated von Karma, as she vows to win the case and get the guilty verdict no matter what it takes.

After the Trail
Maya says she doesn't recall ever leaving the room, and she doesn't recall a third person either. Maya has you take Pearl home.

Kurain Village
Talk to Pearl:

Today's trial: Pearls says she has never seen so many people, Maya looked small, and Franziska was very mean.

Prosecutors: Phoenix explains to Pearl that all prosecutors don't care about people being innocent. Phoenix wonders that "Eh-ji-werth" may be a exception.

The murderer: You ask Pearl if she knows about the murder. Pearl says she doesn't see anything. If so, where was she?

Pearl's alibi: You ask her where was she. She says she wasn't doing anything, desperately. Is she hiding something? Suddenly, 2 Psyche-Locks appear. This answers your question, but you can't break it yet.

Present the Black Key. Pearls says that she found it in the incinerator. Time to look at it, but first lets meet Morgan.

Move to the Channeling Chamber.

Channeling Chamber
There, you will find Morgan looking at a picture of Misty, looking quite sinister and citing her chance has come. What is she up to? Talk to Morgan:

What happened: Morgan tells you she already told you everything. She tells you nothing new.

Training: Nothing worth hearing.

The Master: Misty Fey is the current Master of the village. 16 years ago, Misty disappeared, because she failed to solve a case with her powers. (Though you solved it) She ran away afterward. If she doesn't return in 4 years, Misty will be presumed dead and the Master position will be passed to the successor. You heard Morgan chuckle a bit as she says this...

Move to Winding Way.

Winding Way
You see someone near the incinerator. The person runs up to you. It's Ini, who says she is here for sight-seeing. She says the urn on the table is sacred.

Examine the incinerator first, just upper right of the garden. You check inside it, and see something strange, It's Maya's costume! Covered in blood! The Scrap Cloth will be added to the Court Record. First the key, and now the cloth. The incinerator must be important to this case.

Talk to Ini:

Sacred Urn: The urn is sacred, because it contains the spirit of Ami Fey, the founder of the Kurain Channeling Technique. Examine the urn. It looks like it has cracks around it, and it spells "I AM", weird. The Sacred Urn will be added to the Court Record.

The murder: She still won't tell you about her relationship with Dr. Grey. What about her introducing Dr. Grey to the village. What about the traffic accident? Speaking of which...

Traffic accident: You ask her about the accident, but she tells you that it doesn't have to do with the case. However 2 Psyche-Locks appear to tell you otherwise. You can't break them right now.

Move to the Detention Center

Detention Center
There, you will meet Maya. Talk to her:

Today's trial: Maya is very proud of you of what you did today. Maya wonders if there was a third person in the room. She checked the back side of the folding screen, but didn't see anything.

Not guilty: You told Maya that you believed in her, because it would be impossible for her to dream. If Maya really did pass out when the murder occurred, it would be possible that she was drugged and set up to make it look like she was responsible.

Pearl's alibi: May wonders about what Pearl was doing herself. On the day of the crime, Maya and Pearl were playing with a ball. A ball?

Ball: Pearl really loves to play with her ball. She keeps it in a box every day.

After you are done talking, move to Kurain Village.

Kurain Village (2)
You suddenly run into Lotta, who considers herself trash. She runs away from you.

Chase (Move) Lotta to the Side Room.

Side Room
It doesn't look like Lotta is in here. Why not explore the place a bit. You see a ball and a box inside the room. Examine the ball first. (it should be obvious) It looks like it's Pearl's ball. You take it with you. Examine the box, inside you will find Lotta, who runs off afterwords. You take a look at the box. You see a hole. A hole 8 inches off the ground! That's the same height as the hole on the folding screen. The Clothing Box will be added to the Court Record.

Move to the Meditation Room.

Meditation Room
There, you'll see Pearl, who says Lotta passed here just now. Present Maya's Magatama

Pearl's Phyche-Locks: Pearl's alibi
No. of Psyche-Locks: 2


 * After asking Pearl where she was, you Examine the Fey Manor Map. Present Winding Way. Pearl says you are right, but wants you to guess what she was there for. Present Pearl's Ball.

1 Psyche-Lock Broken


 * Pearl seems to be hiding the fact that something bad happened while she was playing with the ball. Present the Sacred Urn. While she was playing with the ball, Pearl knocked over the urn, probably breaking it. Pearl wants proof. Present Ami Fey's profile. Pearl doesn't know how Ami's name is spelled. Ami's name is spelled A-M-I, not I-A-M. Someone probably broke the urn and tried to put it back together without knowing how it's spelled

1 Psyche-Lock Broken

Unlock Successful

---

Talk about Pearl's alibi to Pearl. Pearl admits that she accidentally broke the urn with her ball and set Ami's spirit free. She tried to fix it.

Sacred urn: She found glue and since the pieces were big, she could have fix it easily, but she done it poorly.

The Sacred Urn will be updated to the Court Record. Move back to the Kurain Village.

Kurain Village (3)
Outside, you'll see Lotta. Talk to her:

Today's trial: Lotta apologizes for what happened today and asks if you'll forgive her. It doesn't matter which depending on how you felt for her. Lotta will then tell you everything she knows.

The murder: Lotta suspects Ini Miney could have done it.

Present Ini Miney's profile and then

Ini Miney: Lotta claims to know that Ini was hospitalized once. Lotta gives you an address to a clinic in town.

Looks like you need to head to the clinic, but Move to the Detention Center first.

Detention Center (2)
You'll see Mia there. Talk to her:

Tomorrow's trial: Phoenix wonders if the murderer got to the Channeling Chamber before the channeling.

Kurain Channeling Technique: Just a brief history of Ami and the technique, nothing worth hearing, even Mia considers it a fairy tale.

Mia leaves after talking. Move to the Hotti Clinic.

Hotti Clinic
You meet what looks like a nutty old man, who says he is the director named Hotti, who recalls Ini. A nurse comes and according to their conversation, Hotti is just an old man pretending to be a doctor. Do you really need to Talk to him? Look's like so:

Hotti Clinic: Hotti doesn't really care about the details.

Ini Miney: Hotti says Ini was once here to have surgery, bad. He doesn't want to go to details, as he isn't allowed to.

Present your Attorney's Badge to him first. You will persuade him to tell you that he isn't a director. (obviously) He says that he will tell you what he knows and that he does recall Ini.

Ini Miney: Ini had to do surgery real bad. Her entire body had to be wrapped in a big cast.t
