Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All/Episode 4: Farewell, My Turnabout/Part 2-1: Trial

Before the Trail
You get a call from de Killer, who tells you he will bring a "present" to help you win this case. What could it be?

Inside the courtroom, you will notice von Karma is absent. What happened? Bailiff comes in and say von Karma has been shot! Could this be the present de Killer was talking about? Whatever it is, it must be helpful without a prosecution.

However, Edgeworth comes in. He tells the court that von Karma is alive and well and he will be taking her place. Seriously? Well so much for a "present" but hey, Phoenix vs. Edgeworth!

Edgeworth calls Gumshoe to the stand and has him describe the facts of the case.

Bare Facts of the Case: Cross-Examination
Press on statement 3. Gumshoe will show you the crime photo. If you look closely to his bandana, you will see that it's wrapped tightly around Corrida's neck. It looks like he died of strangling, but what about the knife? Gumshoe claims it was put there on purpose after the crime. The Autopsy Report will be added to the Court Record.

Press on the 4th statement. The guitar case was suspicious because it was empty. They only found Corrida's fingerprints. The Guitar Case will be updated to the Court Record.

Press on the 5th statement. They found the guitar at the TV studio Corrida works at. He only brought the case with him, but why?

Edgeworth hears enough. He states that Corrida was strangled to death, yet there was a knife on the body. Edgeworth has Gumshoe testify about Engarde's arrest.

Gumshoe's Testimony: Why Arrest Engarde?
The Knife will be added to the Court Record. If you check it, it says "Gatewater" on it. The button has blood on it. Gumshoe says it was the victim's! The Jammin' Ninja's Button will be added to the Court Record.

Why Arrest Engarde?: Cross-Examination
Pressing the 3rd statement (about the button) will get you nowhere, so instead, Present the Knife on the 6th statement. It says "Gatewater" on it, so the murderer couldn't just purchased at the place where the knife belongs, so it couldn't be a premeditated murder. Edgeworth however, says the knife belonged to Engarde's Hotel Room. Remember, there was a knife missing on Engarde's table. Engarde probably took the knife to stab Corrida in the chest.

Darn, a trap. Edgeworth challenges you to present evidence to counter his claim. When asked if you would say Actually, I do. Present the Wine Glass. If you look at the crime scene, there is a complete mess, probaby due to the struggling. However, the wine glass is intact. Edgeworth sees no importance, as the wine glass was set down by Adrian Andrews, the woman who discovered the scene. He suspects she set it down after the crime without thinking. When asked if you agree, say There's no way....

Andrews could not have set it down. Probably someone else? Edgeworth says they found Andrews' fingerprints and no one else's. The Wine Glass will be added to the Court Record. Andrews probably set it down after being shocked upon seeing Corrida's dead body. Darn, another trap. It looks like Edgeworth had provided explainable evidence, but he isn't done yet as he has a witness. Edgeworth calls Wendy Oldbag to the stand.

After a long and humorous conversation, Edgeworth has Oldbag testify what she saw.

What You Witnessed: Cross-Examination
Press on the 2nd statement. Oldbag says it is about her and Corrida. It sounds interesting, but Mia doesn't feel it is the right time to pursue this further.

Press on Oldbag's 5th statement. How can she tell she saw Engarde? You can't make the same mistake as last year, so when given a choice, choose The person's clothes. Oldbag says Engarde was wearing his racing jacket. The same jacket you saw down at the Detention Center.

The Judge asks you if Oldbag said something important, say It's very important. Oldbags adds the jacket to her testimony.


 * He was wearing his flashy racing jacket. Honestly, it's all just for show.

Present the Jammin' Ninja's Button on that statement. The button was caught on Engarde's pants. If Engarde was wearing the jacket as Oldbag saw, then how did it end up on the pants? Oldbag then testifiess on what she really saw.
