Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 3: Turnabout Samurai/Day 2 - Trial

Day 2: Court Mode
Gumshoe takes the stand and describes the events of the day of the murder.


 * In the morning 3 people were in the employee area: Jack Hammer, Will Powers and Penny the assistant.
 * After lunch, at 1pm Jack Hammer went to Studio One.
 * The time of death was 2.30pm
 * The Samurai Spear was lodged in his chest.

The Samurai Spear is added to the Court Record as the murder weapon.

You will have the option to listen to Gumshoe’s description again or skip it and continue. Either option is fine. Once you continue Edgeworth calls Wendy Oldbag to the stand.

Cross-examination
Looking at the photo presents a problem; we can’t prove that Will was in the costume. Present Powers’(?) Photo on her last statement Oldbag will now claim she has proof that it was Will inside the costume.

Cross-examination
When you can, Press the statement about the broken prop. Oldbag will inform the court that it was the Samurai Spear that was broken and that she fixed it with some duct tape. Samurai Spear updated in the Court Record. You can now press the second or third statement. If it becomes clear that the assistant Penny wasn’t watching the action sequence you have done what is needed. Once you had the information about the assistant and the spear, go through the statements and press her until Edgeworth stops you.

The Judge wants to know what happened to the Steel Samurai costume. Edgeworth will say that there is no doubt that it was Will. Object to this.

Oldbag with continue her testimony.

Crosss-examination
If you look at the photo again, it’s numbered Photo #2, which means that someone else must have walked past the camera before this photo was taken. Present Powers’(?)Photo against the third statement.

Oldbag gets angry and then suddenly remembers something important. Time for another testimony from her.

Cross-examintion
So there was another photo. Press on the last statement to get more information. She’ll say that the photo was of a fanboy. He must have entered the Studio through the drain in the Employee Area. She tells the court that this fanboy was a kid.

Edgeworth declares that the kid could not have been the murdered as the Samurai Spear would have been far too heavy for the child to wield. This is important information and the Judge will call a recess. You have to try to extend the trial for an extra day. When you return to the Courtroom you will have to accuse someone of the murder. Your choices are Penny the assistant, Oldbag or the Fanboy kid.

Choose Oldbag, even though she’s most likely innocent.

The Court will realise that Oldbag has no alibi and that she knew about Will’s ankle. Press Further when you get the option to. Oldbag tries to say that the kid could have done it, present the Samurai Spear. This will prove that the kid didn’t do it.

Oldbag is not happy about being implicated and decides to tell the Court about the information she was previously hiding. She was told not to mention that there were other people present at the studios on the day of the murder. Time for yet another testimony from Oldbag.

Cross-examination
So there were other people there that day. We need to find out exact information from her. Press her on the second statement. She will state that the director and the producer where at the studio. The director was apparently at the action sequence rehearsal when Will injured his ankle! After the rehearsal he met with the producer and went to the Studio Two Trailer.

You have the option to Continue cross-examination or Take a break. Choose Take a break. The Judge will dismiss the case for the day so that further investigation can be done regarding the director and the producer.
