Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 2 - Trial Former

'You go to the trail unlike all of the other ones: You don't have a Fey to help you out. From here on, only Ema can help you.'

Day Two: Court Mode
Edgeworth calls Angel Starr to the stand. Usually they call a detective, but according to Edgeworth, Angel was until two years ago, a "first-class" homicidal detective. Angel proceeds with describing the crime.


 * The parking lot at the Prosecutor's office is divided into two blocks
 * A Block is for the Prosecutor's Office personal,
 * B Block is for visitors and clients.
 * A chain divider separates the two blocks.
 * I suppose that's to keep visitors from taking up prosecutor's parking spaces, yes.
 * The crime took place by a car in the back of A block, in the car's trunk.
 * The killer stabbed the victim with a knife and went to drive the body out.

The Floor Plans will be added to the Court Record. Angel says to have witness the very moment of the crime things are looking grim for you already.

Witness's Account: Cross Examination
Press Angel's 1st, 2nd, and 4th statement. Angel tells you that the reason she hates prosecutors is because they fired her. Angel was at the security booth just above the scene, and claims to have seen the car and the crime from thirty feet away. Angel then presents a photograph of the crime, well just after the crime, showing a person that is certainly Lana. The Crime Photo will be added to your court record.

Present the Crime Photo on Angel's 5th statement. It doesn't look like she was holding a knife. However, Edgeworth objects, saying Angel took the photo after the crime, because blood was already splattered. Edgeworth sees no problem in this. You have a choice to object, or accept. Choose Objection. Didn't Angel say she took the picture at the moment of the murder? She takes takes it lightly however and admits she is a little off. Angel then says Lana committed the murder in a premeditated way, because, according to the photo, Lana was wearing gloves, because the crime wouldn't be premeditated without them. The Judge then demands Angel to add that into her testimony.


 * The murder was planned! The rubber gloves prove it!

Present Edgeworth's Knife to that statement. Phoenix proves that both the knife, and the car, were both Edgeworth's, not only that, but Lana didn't prepare the most important thing, the murder weapon. Why would she just put it in the trunk? She could have ran with it when she got the chance. Finally, Angel freaks. Edgeworth, however, reminds you that the murder was planned. He then makes Angel testify her deduction.
