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.

Angel's Deduction: Cross Examination
Present Goodman's Autopsy Report to Angel's 4th statement. It says that Goodman was stabbed once. Angel thought that Lana stabbed Goodman more than once, because there was already blood on her. The judge has Angel add it to her testimony.


 * Her red muffler looked like blood to me... that's how ghastly the whole scene was.

Present the Crime Photo to that statement. Edgeworth states that according to the photo, Lana wasn't wearing a muffler. Angel swore she saw something red. The judge has Angel testify her mistake. Finally you're making progress.

Angel's Testimony: "Apprehending the Suspect"
As Angel and Lana were struggling, Lana knocked over an oil drum. You begin the cross-examination.

Apprehending the Suspect: Cross-examination
Press Angel's 2nd statement. Angel says she was 30 feet away from her before Lana was arrested. Press her further. Angel earlier claims to have witnessed the accident at Block B. There was a chain fence that blocks Angel from the crime scene. Angel says she climbed over the 9-foot fence to get to Lana. How would she do that with so little time?

Press on Angel's 3rd statement. Angel heard Lana say the word "muffler" on her phone. Ask further. Lana attempted to use the emergency phone
