Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Goodbyes/Day 2 - Trial: Difference between revisions

The Overhead Map will be added to your Court Record. Karma demands that Gumshoe testify to the court about the arrest. The judge says that isn't Karma's job, however Karma insults the judge by telling him his job is to slam the gavel down and say the word "Guilty". The judge agrees. This doesn't look good.

Press him on his fifth statement. Gumshoe will show the bullet that was in the body. The Pistol Bullet will be added to the Court Record. Now press him on his sixth statement. Gumshoe says they found the pistol on the boat. The judge orders Gumshoe to add a new statement:

Press him on that statement. Karma will laugh at you, just like Edgeworth did once. It turns out, Edgeworth's fingerprints from his right hand were on the pistol. Karma sees that as critical evidence, and demands that the Pistol be added to the Court Record. Karma asks that if the Pistol Bullet came from the Pistol. Thanks to the ballistic markings (the unique identifiers of the gun), they find that it did. Karma concludes that the bullet that killed the victim was fired from the gun with the fingerprints of the defendant. The judge would declare the verdict, but he needs to listen to the witness' testimony. Karma then has the judge call a recess.

Karma hears enough; as Lotta told the court, she had a picture of the moment of the murder and there were no other boats in that lake. No other man could have shot the victim but Edgeworth, so the judge, having heard enough, decides to call the verdict. However, you still need a cross-examination. Karma decides to let you do so, as he thinks you'll fail to find a contradictory statement in the testimony. If you don't, he'll sentence you to contempt of court. Maya asks you if there was anything contradictory, so say "I think there was".

Press Lotta on her second statement. She was camping there, because she was doing a project for her university. Choose "Press further", and Karma will object to this as research has nothing to do with the murder and has the judge sustain the objection.

Press the third and fourth statements, then press further on the latter statement, and she'll reveal to you that she saw the two men with her own eyes. Karma objects to this — is he hiding something? Press Lotta on her fifth and sixth statements. She reveals that she witnessed the other shot. Press further on the latter statement. Lotta says that she was scanning the whole lake. The whole lake? Was she looking for something else? Karma, of course, objects to this and finds all of your questions hopeless, thus, he'll say that Phoenix will be out of the courtroom if he has another outburst.

Seeing that Lotta's testimony stinks, and seeing that Phoenix has no chance of doing more cross-examining, Maya Fey harshly demands that Lotta tell the court if she clearly saw that it was Edgeworth who shot the man. Lotta says she did, however, Karma sees this as another outburst and the judge orders the officers to take Phoenix away. Maya however, says that she made the outburst, not Nick. Karma doesn't care, as he says the verdict is now clear. Say "Wrong" as Lotta has made another testimony. The judge agrees and allows Lotta to change her last statement. Maya is taken away from court for the outburst, so it looks like you're on your own. Karma still has his hopes up though.

Present the '''Lake Photo''' to the court. Do not press her on that statement, or the court will penalize you. That wasn't in her testimony. It seems that Lotta's Camera took a very high quality photo of the lake, yet it didn't catch their faces. If so, then how did she know it was Edgeworth on that boat? Looks like you're finally making progress, as Lotta will make a new testimony, much to Karma's annoyance.

She brought binoculars? Press her on her third statement. Didn't she say she was looking for shooting stars yesterday? Wouldn't she need a telescope for that? Was the Camera really used to catch a meteor shower? Karma objects, saying that the Camera is irrelevant to the case, and there will be consequences if you don't find anything useful. The judge asks if you would like to continue. Say "'''Press further'''", as the Camera may be important to most, if not all of the case. Lotta will make a new statement.

Press her on that statement. Wasn't the lake too foggy for the Camera to take a photo of the meteor shower? Von Karma says you're confusing the witness, and lets her continue. Present '''Lotta's Camera''' against the same statement. If she was taking pictures of the stars, then why did she point the Camera to the lake? She would've pointed the Camera upwards. The judge wants evidence. Choose "Show evidence". Present the court with the '''Gourdy Article'''. It seems she was there to take pictures of Gourdy. She wants proof that Gourdy is what she's really there for.

Say "I have proof", then present '''Lotta's Camera''' again. Lotta set the camera to respond to a loud noise. The Pistol made a loud bang, which triggered the Camera. According to the article, Gourdy made a loud noise when it emerged. Lotta finally admits that she was there to see Gourdy. However, it doesn't really change what she saw. The judge asks Lotta to change her testimony of why she was at the lake. Lotta and Karma think it still won't change anything, so make sure they are wrong.

On her seventh statement, present the '''Gourdy Article'''. Wasn't Lotta scanning the lake for Gourdy, rather than keeping her eye on the boat? She probably wouldn't need binoculars to see a close boat. She would use them for Gourdy. She admits that she didn't give the boat a second thought. She does, however, remind you that you have the Lake Photo, the proof. However, you still can't tell who's shooting who. But before Lotta can explain what she did to fix it, Karma objects and tells Lotta she said enough, and to shut her "pie-hole", thus ending the cross-examination.

What was Lotta about to say? Phoenix then remembers that yesterday, Gumshoe said she was going to enlarge it. Is this what Karma is hiding? Choose "'''Make her show the enlargement'''" — it's all or nothing now. Lotta agrees. Karma objects, but, lucky for you, is finally overruled. She shows the enlargement, however you still can't tell who's shooting who. Regardless, the Lake Photo will be updated in the Court Record. It seems the enlargement has done little to help. It looks like the judge has his verdict.

But there is still something not right in the photo. You have a choice to stop the verdict or not. Choose "'''Object to the enlargement'''". The judge will ask you to find the strange part of the photo. You will examine the enlargement. Move the cursor to the hand holding the Pistol. Then present it to the court. The judge will ask if you have proof of what's wrong. Present the '''Pistol''' to the court. In the photo, the murderer is shooting the Pistol from his left hand, while the Pistol has prints from a right hand, concluding that the man shooting was not Edgeworth.

The judge praises you for finding proof, but that leaves one problem: if Edgeworth didn't shoot him, then who did? Only two people were on the boat! Karma wants you to say who. Say "The victim himself". Karma objects, as an Autopsy Report shows that the Pistol was fired a meter away, about three feet. The victim's arm obviously isn't that long, so suicide is out of the question. The Autopsy Report will be updated in your Court Record. The judge concludes that Edgeworth isn't the shooter, but neither is the victim. He will adjourn the court for today, thankfully without a verdict.

Edgeworth still claims that he didn't shoot the victim, and that he wants Phoenix to tell Maya to watch her mouth. Lotta's testimony seemed to include very useful information, so Phoenix writes out Lotta's Deposition, which will be added to the Court Record. The trial is over for the day. Time to investigate, but first, go talk to Maya.
