Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations/Episode 2: The Stolen Turnabout/Part 2: Trial

Before the Trial
Maya arrives with the Mask☆DeMasque Publicity Photo which will be added to the Court Record. Ron screams in, again admitting to the heist. Just then, Desirée butts in, again saying otherwise and trusts that you will prove it. Is Ron really Mask☆DeMasque? He doesn't have the urn, so there is only one way to find out.

You prepare for the trial as you are introduced to Godot, who claims he never lost a case... or won. It turns out, this is his first case as a prosecutor. Godot says he came back from the depths of Hell to battle you. And just how does he know you, and what's with the mask? It looks like Godot is very confident. The Judge will call his first witness.

Gumshoe takes the stand. He testify about what he knows about the thief.

Mask☆DeMasque's Crimes: Cross-Examination
Present the Sacred Urn on the 4th statement. Just look at it. It doesn't look like a type that would be valuable. In fact, Mask☆DeMasque normally wouldn't go for something that is priceless as a simple urn. So did Mask☆DeMasque really stole the urn? Godot responds by saying you think an imitator may be the culprit and asks for proof. It looks like you have to show evidence. Compare the Security Camera with the Mask☆DeMasque Publicity Photo. See the difference? Present the Security Camera. Now you need to show the difference. Present the "Fake☆DeMasque"'s chest area.

Now look at the publicity photo. It looks like broach is clasped on the chest. Now, if you look at the Security Photo, it's not there! So does that mean this Mask☆DeMasque really is a fake? Probably not, as Godot will present the broach itself. Godot says he found it at the crime scene near some sort of Buddha statue. (He probably means Ami) So hows does this prove that Ron is in the costume? Fingerprints. There are Ron's fingerprints all over the broach. It has a piece of cloth on the back of the broach, so there has to be a struggle. DeMasque's Broach will be added to the Court Record.

Godot will now call in the next witness, Luke Atmey

Luke will testify about what he saw while he was on patrol, alone.

What I Witnessed: Cross-Examination
Present DeMasque's Broach on the 4th statement. Look closely. It looks like it was ripped off the piece of clothing, as there was a struggle on some point of the heist inside the basement. And the only person to have made Mask☆DeMasque struggle is Atmey, because he was the only person at the crime scene that night.

So does that mean Atmey fought with the thief? Why did he lie just now? Godot has Atmey explain his lie in another testimony.

Fight With The Thief: Cross-Examination
Press on the 5th statement. Atmey tried to use the "Atmey Fighting Style" but was overpowered. Ask about this Atmey Fighting Style? Atmey will say it is to put your back behind the wall so no one can get behind you. You are if this is important, answer It was very important. This "secret" information will be added as a statement.


 * I put my back to the wall to fight, but the thief's blow landed upon my third eye.

Present the Shichishito on this statement. Yesterday, Atmey told you that he was struck from "behind", so now he is saying he was struck in the forehead? You also consider the fact that Atmey hid the calling card from the police, as if he doesn't want them to help with security. Godot, with his first "Objection", will ask what you are trying to get at. You are given a choice, assert that Mr. Atmey is Mask☆DeMasque. How? You explain that Atmey was in charge of security, so he dressed up as the Mask☆DeMasque and stole the urn, all while manipulating the security camera!

It looks like you caught him red-handed, but suddenly, another "Objection" from Godot (along with coffee on your face).
