Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 2 - Trial Former: Difference between revisions

Present the Crime Photo on Angel's fifth statement. It doesn't look like she was holding a knife. However, Edgeworth objects, saying Angel actually took the photo the moment ''after'' the crime, because blood was already splattered on her coat. Edgeworth sees no problem with this. You have a choice to object, or accept. Choose "Objection!". Didn't Angel say she took the picture at the moment of the murder? She takes it lightly however, and admits she was a little off. Angel then says Lana committed the murder in a premeditated way. As you can see in the Crime Photo, Lana was wearing rubber, surgical gloves. Why would she be wearing them if she didn't know she'd be handling a bloody corpse? The judge then demands that Angel add that into her testimony.

Present Edgeworth's Knife on that statement. Lana didn't prepare the most important thing: the murder weapon. It's hard to believe that the murder could be premeditated when she used a knife that just happened to be in Edgeworth's trunk. If she had planned it, would she really have forgotten to bring the murder weapon? Edgeworth doesn't seem to care though — he will accept a Guilty verdict whether Lana planned the murder or not. Angel still insists that the act was premeditated, and seems to have more cause for this deduction. The judge then asks her for a new testimony to bring her reasoning to light.

Present Goodman's Autopsy Report against Angel's fourth statement. It says that Goodman was stabbed once. Angel thought that Lana stabbed Goodman more than once, because she mistook something that looked like blood at her breast. The judge has Angel testify as to what she thought looked like blood.

Present the Crime Photo on that statement. Edgeworth states that according to the Photo, Lana wasn't wearing a muffler. Angel swore she saw something red. The judge has Angel testify to her mistake. Finally you're making progress.

Angel has to be lying, so present the Floor Plans on this statement. Edgeworth wants to know what she is lying about. Say "Where she saw it". If Angel saw Lana use the phone, she might have seen it in a different location. The judge wants to know where. You examine the Parking Lot Floor Plans. Present where it's labeled "Security Room". Earlier Angel said that she was selling a lunch to one of her "boyfriends" there. That must be where she saw the crime.

Ema then notices something odd. Why would Angel lie? Edgeworth presents the Crime Photo to remind you that Angel took the picture from Block B. The judge wants to know what Angel is lying about and tells Phoenix to do so. Ema then recalls what you know so far. Angel says that she saw the crime from the Security Room, but she lied about seeing it from Block B. Phoenix wonders what would change by that. Choose the "Distance to the crime". Though the Security Room was also about 30 feet away from the crime, what matters is how long it took to reach the suspect. As you know from the crime scene, the door to A Block was locked, so Angel had to take the long way around to B Block. It took Angel five minutes to get there. Raise an objection at this point. If it took five minutes for Angel to reach the crime, Lana would have had a chance to run. Looks like you you were able to take advantage of Angel's slip up.

Press Angel's sixth statement. Ema wants to know if there is a problem. Say "There's a problem". You automatically check the Shoe. Rotate it so you can see the bottom. There is blood there, so present it. Edgeworth wants you to show the contradiction. Present the Crime Photo. If there was blood, then why weren't there any footprints? Edgeworth then reminds you what Angel said about apprehending the suspect. Lana knocked over an oil drum during the struggle. The oil drum was actually full of water, so Lana used it to wash away the footprints. This proves that Lana tried to hide the evidence.

Now you and Ema have nothing left to save Lana… or have you? You hear a voice, Mia's voice, telling you not to give up. Phoenix stops the court's verdict and presents the latest photograph. You automatically examine the Photo. Look closely, and you will see something in the car's muffler. Present this to the court. Does "muffler" sound familiar? When given the chance, present Lana's Cell Phone. Earlier, Angel testified that Lana mentioned "muffler" in her very brief phone call. She could have been referring to the clothing inside the car's muffler. Thus,  Finally, you give the judge a reason to continue the case. He calls a half hour recess (it's "lunchtime, after all.")
