Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 2: Turnabout Sisters/Day 2 - Trial

Day two begins with court in session and the first part of the day will be played in Courtroom mode. Edgeworth will call Gumshoe to the stand, and he will describe the details of the murder using a floor plan. The Floor Plan will be added to the Court Record.

Maya Fey's Arrest: Cross-examination
Before the cross-examination begins, Maya will pass a note to you. It tells you to press until the witness makes a mistake.

Press Gumshoe on his sixth statement. Phoenix will ask if this is the hard evidence he had mentioned.

Hard Evidence: Cross-examination
If you look at the Court Record and check the Autopsy Report, you will notice that it says that Mia died instantly after being hit. Present the Autopsy Report against his sixth statement.

Edgeworth will ask you when you received the Autopsy Report. Choose "The day after the murder." Edgeworth will present an updated report that claims the victim could have lived for several minutes after being hit. You have a choice, choose "The detective's a sham!" This will update the Autopsy Report in your Court Record.

Gumshoe will leave the stand. The next witness is Miss April May.

Witness's Account: Cross-examination
The judge wants to know if you want to cross-examine. Choose "Yes, I'm doing it."

Press her fifth statement and choose "I question your testimony." Then choose "You’re lying." Phoenix will mention that April identified Maya by her physique, rather than her strange clothes and stranger hairdo.

Time for another testimony from the witness.

Witness's Account: Cross-examination
How does April May know that "The Thinker" is a clock? Present "The Thinker" on her fifth statement. She starts to panic, and Edgeworth will try to stop your questioning. April says that she heard the clock from her hotel. You are then presented with two options to object with. Choose "It couldn't have rung," and then choose "It's empty."

The judge will now examine the clock and confirm that the clockwork is missing from the inside. Edgeworth states that the clockwork might have been removed after the murder, which would mean April could have heard it after all. When you can, present Maya’s Cell Phone. This will prove that the clockwork was missing before the murder.

April now tries to say that she must have seen the clock in a store somewhere. However we know that's not possible. Check the clock in the Court Record. It was made by Larry Butz, so there is no way that April saw it in a store. Choose "Yes" when the judge asks if you have an objection, then present "The Thinker" to the court.

At this point April totally loses it. The judge wants to know why you think she knew it was a clock. Choose "You had heard about it." Present the Wiretap.

Edgeworth will ask you to provide proof that the murder weapon was a clock. Present Maya’s Cell Phone.

You’ll be given two options from which to choose, but it doesn’t matter which you pick, because April will now give an alibi for the time of the murder. She tells the court that she had ordered an ice coffee from room service at exactly 9:00 PM that night. The bellboy from the Gatewater Hotel can verify her alibi. You have the option to continue with April May or to call the bellboy to the stand. Choose "Call the bellboy as a witness." Edgeworth will allow the bellboy to be called on one condition - if you can't find a crack in May's alibi, then your client automatically gets the Guilty verdict. Choose "Accept the condition" to hear the bellboy's testimony.

Miss May's Room Service: Cross-examination
Press on the bellboy’s last two statements (the fourth and fifth). You won’t really get any new information, but this will prompt Edgeworth and the judge to try and dismiss the witness, since he doesn’t have any new information. Choose "Protest." This will allow you to ask about one of the following: "Check-in," "Room service," or "Bed making." It doesn’t matter which you choose, as the same piece of information will be discovered: two people checked into the hotel and two people are staying in the room.

This has brought about a new possibility in the case. There is another person that could be involved in the murder. When asked who, choose "The man with Miss May."

You haven’t cleared Maya yet, however, you have bought a little more time to investigate. The judge will extend the trial for an extra day.

After the trial, you will receive the May Testimony, and it will be added to the Court Record. There is not really much in the testimony, as most of it was thrown out. All that remains is: "The victim dodged an attack then ran to the right, but she was caught and struck."
