On Lana's '''fourth statement''', '''present''' the '''Unstable Jar'''. There was still one piece left that Lana didn't wipe off, and that piece was found in Gant's locker. When Lana hears this, she is stunned, just as you hoped. Since she testified to gathering every last piece, that means Gant's piece must have been collected before Lana got there. If that is true, then Gant was the first person at the scene, not Lana! | On Lana's '''fourth or fifth statement''', '''present''' the '''Unstable Jar'''.

What was Gant doing there? Why was he hiding this for two years? Edgeworth says that he helped Lana protect Ema. Lana still denies it, and scolds Phoenix for telling foul lies. Hearing this, Phoenix gets suspicious. What if this is what Gant is planning? | What was Gant doing there? Why was he hiding this for two years? Edgeworth says that he helped Lana protect Ema.

When the court realizes that Gant hid evidence in his safe, Gant decides to come clean. He was at the scene before Lana, and saw the opportunity to control Lana. He knew she would come to him for aid, so he helped her conceal her sister's involvement after hiding two of the pieces of evidence from the scene. He put the evidence in his safe as insurance, in case something in his plan went awry down the road. | When the court realizes that Gant hid evidence in his safe, Gant decides to come clean.

To ensure that he would never get fingered for the crime, he kept the most legible piece of the broken jar, although he hadn't counted on Lana wiping off the other pieces. Edgeworth wants to know how they can believe he didn't just forge Ema's name on the jar along with everything else. That's why he kept the other piece of evidence — the Piece of Cloth.

Before you regret this, however, Phoenix finds a contradiction on the cloth. You should probably catch it by now as well. When asked to show the contradiction, '''present Lana's Picture'''. Blood is splattered everywhere on Neil's chest, even on the spot the piece of cloth should have been. If the piece of cloth was there, blood would have gotten on it. However, there's no blood on the cloth! The fingerprints prove that Ema shoved Neil, but the cloth must have been cut off before he was impaled, or it would be covered in blood. | Before you regret this, however, Phoenix finds a contradiction on the cloth.

It all started two years ago. Joe Darke, a businessman, was driving home when he met with an unfortunate accident. He ran into a pedestrian, killing him. Darke panicked, and killed a man who witnessed the hit and run. He then killed a woman who witnessed that killing. He then killed a child, who witnessed that third killing, and as he buried the bodies, he killed a jogger that caught him. | It all started two years ago.

Darke seemingly left all evidence hidden, and it looked like he would get away with it. However, he was overridden with guilt and eventually turned himself in. Thus the trial of the "Joe Darke Killings" began. | Darke seemingly left all evidence hidden, and it looked like he would get away with it.

His trial involved a team of investigators (Jake Marshall, Angel Starr, and Bruce Goodman, with Neil Marshall as the case's prosecutor) led by Damon Gant and Lana Skye, who were very famous back then.

One night, the team took him for questioning at the Police Department. During the questioning, however, a terrible storm caused a blackout in the building. Darke took this advantage and ran off. Neil followed, carrying the broken knife from the Prosecutor's Trophy he'd received at a ceremony earlier that day. | One night, the team took him for questioning at the Police Department.

The chase led to Lana and Gant's office. There, Ema Skye was waiting for her sister Lana, so they could have dinner. Just then, Darke barged in, noticed Ema, and was about to make her his next victim. Before he could do so, however, Neil entered the office and they both fought a short battle on Gant's side. | The chase led to Lana and Gant's office.

Neil eventually gained the upper hand, and as he lifted his knife, a bolt of lightning left an image that would haunt Ema for years to come. Seeing someone about to be stabbed, Ema panicked, and, assuming the one holding the knife (Neil) was Darke, pushed Neil aside. Darke and Neil were knocked unconscious when Ema pushed them, and Ema passed out from shock. Right before she lost consciousness, another flash of lightning illuminated the jar sitting on one of Gant's shelves. | Neil eventually gained the upper hand, and as he lifted his knife, a bolt of lightning left an image that would haunt Ema for years to come.

Shortly afterward, Gant arrived at the scene. He saw two men and a girl lying unconscious. Gant took advantage of the opportunity to cut off the piece of Neil's vest with Ema's handprint on it. He then did the unthinkable, lifting Neil's body and impaling it on the sword carried by a nearby suit of armor, killing him, with lots of blood spilling onto his chest. Gant then wrote Ema's name on the jar with Neil's blood. He broke the jar, and took the piece with the most legible part of Ema's name, and hid it in his locker with the cloth. | Shortly afterward, Gant arrived at the scene.

Being Ema's sister, Lana asked Gant to cover this up, and promised him she would do anything he asked. Gant started by telling Lana to arrange the crime scene. Lana wiped Ema's name off the jar fragments, broke off the tip of Darke's blade and placed it in Neil's wound (after taking his body off the armor), and moved the unconscious bodies to her side of the office. By doing this, Darke would be sure to get a guilty verdict. | ||
Neil was the prosecutor of the case, so Lana took the forged evidence to Miles Edgeworth, who replaced Neil. Edgeworth was unaware that the decisive evidence he was given was forged, the real evidence having been taken away by Gant. | Neil was the prosecutor of the case, so Lana took the forged evidence to Miles Edgeworth, who replaced Neil.

Before the trial, Ema was too affected to talk about the crime, so she drew a picture of the events on the back of the evidence list and gave it to Goodman. Gant, however, got to it first and took the half of the picture that could identify on which side of the office the murder took place. Without any evidence to the contrary, Darke, framed for the murder of Neil, was found Guilty and was sentenced to death. | Before the trial, Ema was too affected to talk about the crime, so she drew a picture of the events on the back of the evidence list and gave it to Goodman.

Goodman was able to keep his position, because firing or demoting him as well would have left the commissioners very suspicious. | ||
However, the detectives were persistent. They knew something was up. The decisive evidence they presented did not fit what they had at all, which hurt the three. Jake was the one suffering the most, since his brother had died. The trio decided to investigate behind Gant's back. | |||
Gant, who had been promoted Chief of Police thanks to the trial, promoted Lana to become the Chief Prosecutor so he could control the Prosecutor's Office through her. Lana did just about anything Gant told her to do to protect Ema from going to jail, no matter how cruel and harsh it may have been. Lana developed a very cold personality since. | Gant, who had been promoted Chief of Police thanks to the trial, promoted Lana to become the Chief Prosecutor so he could control the Prosecutor's Office through her.

Gant realized he was in trouble, so he grabbed what he could out of Goodman's evidence locker in a rush, and put Goodman's body inside the trunk of Miles Edgeworth's car. He left behind pieces of the broken jar and a rubber glove was caught between the locking sensor and the door, so it didn't close all the way. Then, he took a screwdriver from a random old case, and told Edgeworth himself to take it to his office. Wondering why, Edgeworth drove his car back to the Underground Parking Lot of the Prosecutor's Office, unknowingly carrying Goodman's body with him! Gant then contacted Lana Skye and told her to go to the Parking Lot and dispose of the body. Lana obeyed and walked to the Parking Lot. | Gant realized he was in trouble, so he grabbed what he could out of Goodman's evidence locker in a rush, and put Goodman's body inside the trunk of Miles Edgeworth's car.

Meanwhile, police officer Mike Meekins was assigned to protect the Blue Badger that day.

Jake Marshall stole Goodman's ID Card on the morning of the crime, because that day was his last chance to get at the evidence for the SL-9 case. He took Goodman's clothing and went to the Evidence Room just after the ceremony (where Edgeworth won the Prosecutor's Trophy). He opened Goodman's locker, unaware that there was a fingerprint sensor in place and the only reason the locker opened for him was that a glove had jammed the sensor. Unfortunately, nearly all the evidence was gone. He was then startled by Meekins, who was retrieving the Blue Badger from the room. Meekins, not recognizing Marshall, asked for his ID card. Fearing his cover would be blown, Marshall pulled out his knife instead. They fought a short battle, with Marshall the victor. Meekins' blood was splattered all over his disguise, so he threw the coat inside his locker to hide what happened. | Jake Marshall stole Goodman's ID Card on the morning of the crime, because that day was his last chance to get at the evidence for the SL-9 case.

Around the same time, Lana got to the Underground Parking Lot and opened up the trunk of Edgeworth's car to find Goodman's lifeless body. She had to get rid of Darke's knife so that the SL-9 case wouldn't be brought back up, so she took Edgeworth's knife, which she found in his trunk, and stabbed the corpse in the same place Gant had stabbed him. She then took Darke's knife, wrapped it in her scarf, and put it inside the car's exhaust pipe. Lana then called Ema to tell her to dispose of the evidence in her muffler. | Around the same time, Lana got to the Underground Parking Lot and opened up the trunk of Edgeworth's car to find Goodman's lifeless body.

Angel Starr noticed the "crime" and captured the moment with her camera. Angel then proceeded to arrest Lana, who decided to pin herself for the crime, as speaking out would spell certain doom for Ema. | Angel Starr noticed the "crime" and captured the moment with her camera.
