Now it is time to cross-examine. You can press every statement without getting any penalties, but your objective is to find the lie in his testimony and prove it by presenting evidence from the Court Record. If you press Sahwit's '''9th''' statement, Mia will tell you that this is suspicious. Check the Autopsy Report in the Court Record. Notice anything contradictory? The victim died between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM, however, the witness is saying he found the body at 1:00 PM. | Now it is time to cross-examine.

He is now saying that the murder weapon is a clock, but you already know what it is. '''Present''' the '''Statue''' to the court against '''statements 2, 3 or 4'''. The weapon is the Statue of "The Thinker", yet Sahwit is sure that it is a clock. Payne will soon confirm this to be the case, as simply tilting the neck on it cause it to say the current time aloud, revealing how the witness heard the time that day. The '''Statue''' will be updated in the Court Record. | ||
At this point, the judge will ask you if you have any problems with the witness' testimony. There is one problem indeed - the question of how Sahwit actually knew the murder weapon was a clock and not a statue, as initially believed. The answer is quite obvious, so choose "'''Yes'''" to the judge's question. Phoenix explains that for Sahwit to know it was a clock, he would have needed to hold it in his hands to realize that fact, yet he claimed he never entered the apartment. The only solution to the problem of how he knew that, when asked, is that he "'''Went into the apartment.'''" Sahwit must have entered the apartment on the day of the murder, and therefore ''he'' is the real murderer, not Larry. He knew the time because he hit the victim with the clock, and when he did so, it said the time out loud, making him believe it was 1:00 PM. | At this point, the judge will ask you if you have any problems with the witness' testimony.

You almost have him now, since you know he must have been in the apartment on the day of the murder. However, Sahwit states that you can’t prove the clock was three hours slow on the day of the murder, and the judge agrees to that, stating his intention of letting him go if no proof is shown. Mia isn't willing to give up just yet, and advises you think "out of the box" - don't try to figure out when the clock was slow, but ''why'' it was slow to begin with.

The question to solving this is why Cindy would need a clock that didn't display the correct time. The answer maybe that it ''was'' set to the correct time. Remember earlier in the trial that Cindy had recently come back from Paris before her murder? She must have taken the clock with her and had it set to show the correct time in that time zone. Present '''Cindy’s Passport''' to the court. The number of hours between the courtroom and Paris is nine hours. This proves that the clock wasn't really three hours slow, but actually nine hours fast, now ''and'' on the day of the murder. | The question to solving this is why Cindy would need a clock that didn't display the correct time.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that Cindy was on her way back, and the moment she entered her apartment, she witnessed him in the act of robbing her. | ||
Panicking upon being caught and seeking to avoid being exposed as a thief, Sahwit grabbed "The Thinker" and struck her with it quickly, killing her instantly. The blow he dealt activated the clock, causing him to hear it say 1:00. Having no idea that Cindy hadn't changed it back to the correct time after her vacation in Paris, Sahwit was fooled into thinking it was the "true" time. Knowing he would be the main suspect in her murder, Sahwit decided to pin the blame on Larry, knowing he had been the only one in the apartment before he left, and thus had no alibi for the time of the crime. Just then, the power went out, forcing him to look for a phone to call the police. | Panicking upon being caught and seeking to avoid being exposed as a thief, Sahwit grabbed "The Thinker" and struck her with it quickly, killing her instantly.
