Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All/Episode 2: Reunion, and Turnabout/Part 2-1: Trial

Before Trial
Maya is shocked to hear you are facing Prosecutor von Karma. (his successor) You suddenly see Pearl, who says to have ran all of the way here. (She ran!? Wow!) Maya thinks about Miles Edgeworth for a moment. The man you faced in a couple of cases one year ago. Phoenix tells Maya not to mention that name, because Edgeworth is gone and isn't coming back. (What!? How!?) You head inside the courtroom.

Day Two: Court Mode
You are introduced to your opponent. A very young woman named Franziska von Karma, who says she is here for one thing, revenge (for her father?). Franziska swears to defeat you and mocks you for your "foolish" plea to make a not guilty verdict. She calls Dick Gumshoe to the stand.

Gumshoe describes the crime with a map:


 * The Channeling Chamber has no windows and the door was locked shut.
 * At the time of the murder, only the victim and the defendant were in the room.
 * They were channeling a spirit.
 * A few minutes after the channeling started,
 * gunshots were heard coming from inside the room.
 * A few of the witnesses broke the door down, and rushed into the room.
 * That's when they found that the victim was already dead.

The Floor Plans will be added to the Court Record. The Judge has Gumshoe testify about how the victim was killed.

Gumshoe's Testimony: Cause of Death
Gumshoe presents the Autopsy Report, which will be added to the Court Record.

Cause of Death: Cross-Examination
Press Gumshoe's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th statements.

1st statement: The pistol belonged to Dr. Grey, but it has Maya's fingerprints all over it.

2nd statement: They could tell the shot was point-blank range, because there were gunpowder burns on his forehead.

3rd statement: The knife belonged to the Feys, and of course Maya's fingerprints were all over it.

5th statement: The shot in the forehead could have killed Dr. Grey instantly, so Dr. Grey would've been stabbed before shot.

The Judge accepts both the Knife and Pistol as murder weapons, they will be added to the Court Record.

Things are looking grim already, everything is implicating Maya for the murder. When given a choice of keeping your plea or make a "justified self defense" plea, choose Plead not guilty, because remember, you have the "key".

Franziska has Gumshoe testify further about the evidence.

Gumshoe's Testimony: Incriminating Evidence
Maya's Costume will be added to the Court Record. Can you find a contradiction on this state?

Incriminating Evidence: Cross-Examination
Press on Gumshoe's 3rd statement. Lab tests show that it is the victims blood. You ask Gumshoe if there is anything else on the evidence, but Franziska makes an objection. Why did she do that all of the sudden? When given the choice, Press further, then choose There is one little thing.... You examine the costume. Look at the left sleeve. There seems to be a hole there. Present the hole. The Judge takes a look at it and smells gunpowder! It looks like someone tried to shoot her, but missed. Maya's Costume will be updated to the Court Record.

It looks like you found the hole, but Franziska tells the court otherwise, saying the evidence still stands. Unfortunately, The Judge agrees. Darn it you were close.

After updating Maya's Costume, Present it on Gumshoe's 4th statement. The bullet hole on Maya's sleeve indicates Dr. Grey did fought back after all. He probably tried to shoot Maya.

It seems everything is changed, but Franziska states you have made a mistake. What you had just said supports a "justified self defense" plea you refused earlier. Therefore, you have yet to prove anything. Not only that, but the hole on the costume isn't enough to substantiate a "justified self defense" plea! Whoops! Franziska has Gumshoe testify about what transpired today, with new information.

What Transpired: Cross-Examination
Present Maya's Costume on the 4th statement. Take a close look at the bullet hole, where is the gun powder? If
