Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Succession/Day 3 - Trial

Day Three: Trial Mode (back to Apollo)
Phoenix now says you are ready to proceed with today's court. Now only you decide if Vera is guilty or not. Hit Preparations Complete and you'll begin the last part of the game.

You begin trial immediately... without Vera. Klavier says that Vera could die at any time. If she dies, then the trial would have to be canceled! You can't let that happen! It looks like you have to find the verdict as long as possible. Phoenix told you everything about the secrets about everything he collected in seven years.

Klavier says that Vera could be poisoned because she couldn't live with the "guilt" that overwhelmed her of the "crime" she committed. Just by that, Klavier wants to end trial immediately. You object, insisting that Vera isn't the killer. Klavier then asks how Vera was poisoned and who poisoned her. When given the choice, choose Show "how". Present the Nail Polish. When Vera was in a tense sate, she has the habit of biting her nails! Some probably knew of that and put poison on the polish! When asked who, Present Kristoph Gavin's Profile. He has a nail polish just like the one Vera has. When did he put in the poison? It could have been yesterday, a month ago, a year ago, or even seven years ago!

Klavier doesn't seem too happy about you accusing his own brother, but he decides to take your request and calls up his brother, from jail to the stand.

There he is, the man himself. He seems well informed about the case. Right now, you are accusing him of murdering a different person. Kristoph asks his brother if he agrees with the accusation. Klavier responds with silence. Kristoph will now testify about the matter of poisoning Vera. This is it, the final battle!!!

Poisoning Vera: Cross-Examination
Use the bracelet on Kristoph's 5th statement:


 * Surely, you aren't going to suggest I was responsible for poisoning her father, too?

Perceive the scar on Kristoph's right hand (the one holding up the glasses). Kristoph seems pretty tense when he mentioned Vera's father and the little devil in his hand tells you the news. Kristoph shrugs off your claim by saying that all tense witnesses are guilty. He even reminds you he had an alibi when Drew was murdered, but you know he still managed to use the poison to kill Drew. When asked how, Present the Commemorative Stamp. The stamp had poison on the back of the stamp and it was found in Kristoph's cell! If that is so, then Kristoph probably murdered Drew by making him send a letter!

Exposing "The Devil"
Kristoph tells you to recall Brushel's testimony. He said that when he entered the room, Drew was looking for something. It could be that he was looking for a stamp for the letter, and Drew had to use the commemorative stamp, because he couldn't find one! What if Drew didn't intend to use the stamp, if he did, it wouldn't have been just a coincidence. It looks like you must be "bluffing", but Klavier objects, saying to his brother that HE is the bluffer. Kristoph will now ask you one more thing, motive. What reason did he have to kill the Mishams? The attorney may not have any reason to kill the artists, unless he was in a battle he was afraid he might lose. Present either the Red Envelope, or the Notebook Page.

Remember the forged evidence Phoenix presented seven years ago? Well the client who requested the forgery sent a letter to Drew and told him to send a letter with the enclosed stamp in it. The "enclosed stamp" was none other than the one with poison on it! Someone might have used the stamp to keep the forger quiet! Klavier objects, saying that if Phoenix presented the forged evidence and wrote the letter, then he could have been the killer! You counter his objection, saying that Phoenix took the case the day before the fateful trial, so he didn't have time to forge anything.

You then make a theory that Zak may have gotten an attorney before Phoenix. What if Kristoph is that former attorney? Klavier objects, asking for proof that Kristoph requested the evidence. He looks like he is in pain, it looks like you need to draw the darkness out of him. The Judge then asks you to prove Kristoph's connection to Drew. If you can't, you will suffer a HUGE penalty. Present the Letter from Misham.

Kristoph immediately objects, saying that there is something wrong. The letter is written in Phoenix's handwriting! You inform Kristoph that Phoenix brought a video camera with him to the conversation, when Phoenix foud the letter and almost got away with it. Letter from Misham will be updated as Letter from Mr. Wright.

There is nothing else you can do from here, watch as you and Klavier come on to Klavier, tie up all of the loose ends, and Kristoph going berserk after being informed of the "Jurist System".

After the trial ends, Phoenix then gives Jurist No. 6 a choice of who if Vera is guilty or not. You suppose the answer is obvious. Choose, Not Guilty and note the arm that reaches out, notice something familiar on it?

Day's later, the verdict is finally reached:

Vera Misham is found Not Guilty!

Turnabout Succession: Epilogue
Nothing else you could do here, you can only watch the ending, and learn some last minute twists along the way.

Congratulations! You are now finished with Apollo's first (and possibly last) game! Will Phoenix get his badge back now that his name has finally been cleared of forgery? Will he ever see his old friends again? Will Apollo and Trucy ever learn that they have the same mother... who is still alive? You'll have to wait for the next game to come out first, along with another game staring everyone's favorite prosecutor! No, not Klavier, but an old friend of Phoenix!

Until then, get some Phoenix Wright filler.
