Bad Ending #1

If you deplete your Confidence Gauge at any point during civil trial, you will achieve first bad ending:

Spoiler

The judge will rule in favor of the plaintiff, permanently ending the hope for revolution in Khura'in and causing Wright and Justice's relationship to never be the same again.

At the start of a civil trial, the judge is shocked by defence attorneys on either side. Much like Miles Edgeworth and Franziska von Karma in a different situation entirely from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations if you remember. Anyway, the judge warns both of them to not put their feud in the way of the trial. On Phoenix side, his politician claims that his orb is from Ami Fey. On Apollo's side, his claim is that the orb originated from Kuhura'in. The first witness would by Ema. She'll start off with her testimony.

Ema's Testimony: The Doctor's Dark Secret

Ema Skye

Ema Skye's Testimony

- The Doctor's Dark Secret -

1. The police have had their eyes on Dr. Buff for some time.
2. And just today, a number of stolen artifacts were discovered in his study.
3. Among them were a priceless urn and a statue that were stolen from the Fey clan.
4. It seems the doctor would do anything to study artifacts, including steal them.
5. As for the relic at the center of this dispute, he likely stole it from the Atishon residence.

Is it true that he stole it from Atishon residence? Press the fifth statement. She'll explain that it happens about a year ago. Robbery Report added to the Court Record.

Present the E-Mail on the fifth statement. It's revealed that the victim was talking to PAW which should stand for is Paul Atishon-Wimperson but what does 711 mean anyway? Apollo calls the politician to the stand. Despite the political nonsense you have to deal with you should select Your Birthday. He reveals that he's born on 7th of November, which proves that he's the one in contact with the victim, much to the dismay from both defences. Still, the politician will not give up on it. So, he testifies about the crystal which he claims that he owns.
