I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have left the bloodstain at a crime scene that was also a workplace. It'd stink to high heaven.

And it's unsanitary, you could catch something if the victim happened to have it. Once a time I was at work, temping with a furniture installation company, doing an install for Intel, a dude accidentally cuts himself on some of the product and wanders off to clean himself up. All the while he drips a very clear trail of blood out of the room, down the stairs, presumably all the way to the bathroom. They drat near shut the whole operation down and sent us home for the day while it got cleaned up (they instead eventually opted to clean it up and let us keep working, because it was Saturday and none of the real employees were at risk. Thanks so much for your consideration).

Case 3 - Turnabout Samurai Trial (Day 2) - Part 1      : The court is now in session for the trial of Mr. Will Powers. : The prosecution is ready, Your Honor. : The defense is ready, Your Honor. : Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your opening statement, please.: The prosecution will show the court that at 2:30 PM on October 15, the defendant, Mr. Will Powers, killed fellow actor Jack Hammer at Studio One of Global Studios. It is impossible for anyone else to have committed this heinous crime. The evidence presented during the trial will all point to this fact. : Hmm. I see.: Very well, I would like to move on to your testimony.: Mr. Edgeworth, the prosecution may call its first witness.: First, I would like to call a familiar face, Detective Gumshoe, to the stand. : Detective, if you would briefly describe this case to the court? : Yes sir! I'll explain with the guidemap here.                  : Now, jump ahead to later that day... 5:00 PM. The production staff came to Studio One to perform a rehearsal.  : The "Samurai Spear" found lodged in the victim's chest was the murder weapon.: That's the case, in brief. Anyone like to hear that again?  : (I think I can probably remember that...) : How... medieval! : Your Honor. This case is quite simple if you ask one question: : And that question is:  : Understood.: Let's call this security officer to the stand! : Will the witness declare her name? : ...  : My, aren't you a handsome fellow! : I'm afraid I'm a bit flustered!  : Y-your name, please!: Oh, dearie! No need for you to be embarrassed! Just call me "grandma." : YOUR NAME, PLEASE!: (Seems Edgeworth has a bit of trouble getting his witnesses to say their names...): Wendy Oldbag, dearie.  : O-objection! I... object to the witness's talkativeness. : Objection sustained!: The witness will refrain from rambling on the stand.: I was just getting to the good part, dearie!: Perhaps we can get to the testimony?: Now, the witness was stationed at the main gate on the day of the murder, correct?: Yessey I was.: And to get to the scene of the murder, someone would have to pass by you?: You know your stuff, dearie!: ...: You may begin your testimony. : (She sure is one hell of an Oldbag...)          : You saw the defendant, then? Hmm...: Very well. Let's begin the cross-examination. Mr. Wright?: Yes, Your Honor.   : So up until that time, anyone who wanted to could go into the studio?: Well, there wasn't a security guard at the gate, no. But the main gate was locked, dearie. : (Right... the cardkey that I have. So, what she's saying is no one who wasn't supposed to be there could get in.): Was there anyone at the studios when you arrived at the guard station?  : A "run-through"...?: They were working out a scene between the Steel Samurai and the Evil Magistrate.: They got the basics figured out by noon, and were to use the afternoon for practice. Rehearsal was to start at 5:00.: That's why poor old Hammer went to Studio One in the afternoon.: (So Powers was in his dressing room sleeping... when he was supposed to be practicing!): (Talk about a laid-back hero...) : If there was a run-through in the morning, why did you only get there after noon? : What kind of "errands"?: Oh, well, you know. : Answer the question!  : O-observing? Weren't you supposed to be at the guard station? : Whippersnapper! I told you I locked the gate, didn't I? I did my job!: (I'm not sure your boss would see it that way...): Anyway!: I always watch Hammer's run-throughs. Always!: Never missed one in all my years. : Wow! I want to see a Steel Samurai run-through too!: You could quit being a spirit medium and take up guard duty.: Not a bad idea... : Did you see the victim then?: Did I see poor old Hammer? Nope. He'd already gone to the studio before I got back to the guard station.: Tell us what happened next. : So you were watching there the WHOLE time? No breaks? Not even a second?: O-of course! I am a professional, you know! Or are you criticizing how I do my job!? Whippersnapper!: No, it's just, after seeing you eating those donuts in the guard station yesterday...: I can watch the gate and eat donuts at the same time! Snipperwhapper!: "Snipperwhapper"...? Old windbag is losing it, Nick.: Why don't you raise an objection?: So, the witness was on duty through the afternoon, the whole time. Very well.: What did you see?  : How did you know that?: Oh hoh hoh. I have my ways! That over-dressed young detective told me. I fed him donuts and he talked and talked... If you ask me, that detective isn't cut out for his job.: ...: (Poor Detective Gumshoe, getting chewed out by a security guard...) : 2:00? You're sure?: Sure as spit!: Well, who was the man!?: Really, you should try not to get so excited at your age. You might strain something.: ...: Now, now, don't get your skivvies all in a bunch. I'll tell you who it was! : So you saw Mr. Powers?: That's what Is said! Got wax in your ears, sonny? : Nick, this is your chance!: Yeah, time to pull out hte secret weapon... : I'll say it again! It was him!And loop. : Nick... : Windbags love gossiping about other people's misfortunes.: Ugh. Can't she get her kicks somewhere else?This one's not too hard.  : Let me get this straight, old bag! Er, Ms. Oldbag!: You've been saying since yesterday that you "saw Mr. Powers," correct?  : J-just a moment, Mr. Wright. Let me see that photo! : What is this, exactly?: None other than the Steel Samurai, defender of Neo Olde Tokyo.: Ms. Oldbag! : Of course! Didn't your momma teach you any sense, sonny? Anyone can plainly see that's Powers! Right? : ... Umm... well. I wonder?: True, Mr. Powers does play the role of the Steel Samurai!: But that doesn't mean Mr. Powers IS the Steel Samurai! : I... I know that! I wasn't born yesterday!: No one in this court is accusing you of that, Ms... er, witness.: (He's having trouble calling her "Oldbag" apparently...): However, you do not have proof that the person in this photo is Mr. Will Powers, do you?: Humph! Nosy old man!: Of course I have proof! : (Even Edgeworth is surprised!?): The prosecution would like to ask the old... the witness.: Please make known all the information in your possession ahead of time!: How was I to know everyone would be so nosy! You should be ashamed, all of you! Anyway, I showed that photo to the young detective.: He told me "this isn't any good as evidence, pal.": He didn't even give it a second look! : (Wow, old windbag has left even Edgeworth speechless. She's good!): Let's hear about your proof, then.         : Hmm. So he had sprained his ankle...? Very well. Mr. Wright, you may cross-examine the witness.: (She's got to be hiding something... I'll press her until she squeals.)  : Umm...: Whippersnapper!: (Hey, I haven't said anything yet!): I'll have you know I'm not pointing fingers at anyone behind their backs!  : Mr. Wright! Please, for all our sakes, try not to upset the witness! : (I think Edgeworth has met his match...) : Who was present at the run-through?: Well, let's see... There was Powers, he's the Steel Samurai... Then poor old Hammer, the Evil Magistrate. And...: me.: And what exactly were you doing?: Observing! Just... observing. : Oh, she was off moving backdrops around and such.: (So she didn't see the run-through, then...) : "Trip and fall"...? : So Powers sprained his ankle. I helped make it better for him, of course.: You... helped make it better?: I kissed it where it hurt.: L-let's just skip over that part, shall we? : Oh, her? She was cleaning up backdrops, I think. She didn't know about Powers's ankle.: (Hmm...): You may continue your testimony. : He broke a prop? : (His Samurai Spear... the murder weapon!?): Luckily I was there with my duct tape to fix it.: (This strikes me as a significant detail... I'd better write this down in the Court Record.)  : Was Mr. Power's ankle badly sprained?Not my error on Powers' name. Game's. : Not so bad that he couldn't walk around. He went to his dressing room to rest up after lunch.: (Thus the nap...): Anyway, I saw him dragging his foot when he walked.: (Dragging his foot... okay.): I think we've heard enough!: Haven't we, Your Honor?: Well, there is one thing that bothers me.: Which is?: Where is this "Steel Samurai" costume now?: Umm... hmm.: Actually, well... We couldn't find it. We're looking, though.: Hmm...: Anyway, that's not important! The witness did see the Steel Samurai, yes.  : And it is clear that the person in the Steel Samurai suit was Mr. Will Powers! : Hmm... I suppose that's right. This is getting a bit long, so this is a good cliffhanger for today. Next time: Objection? Oregon Rev. Stat., Section 811.205 posted:811.205 Carrying child on external part of vehicle; penalty.

This is why I'll always think Oldbag is a good character. In the previous case, it took completely blindsiding Edgeworth to even make him flinch, but this time Oldbag has him begging for her to be done talking immediately after the trial begins. It's a great moment.

That was pretty fantastic. It's an interesting dilemma, though. Although they haven't successfully shown the defendant's face, they've presented a narrative in which only two other people knew he had a sprained ankle, of which one is the victim and one is the witness, so nobody has any reason to fake a sprain while framing him. Well, nobody except Oldbag, who is not likely to want to murder Hammer and should only be provoked in an absolute emergency.

On the other hand, we've already noticed just how flimsy a testimony the courts in Japanifornia are willing to accept. Compared to some of those other guys Oldbag is a pretty solid witness.

This case so far seems pretty lacking in Kangaroo Court-ness. Oldbag seems pretty awesome, certainly better written than Miss May. Again, at least thus far. Question for those of you with the iPad trilogy app. Any reason why I wouldn't be able to continue/load my old game? I saved right at the point where we were last update so I could keep up. But now I don't see that save, I don't even get the option to continue anything, just start a new game.

Considering how lovely the iOS version was in so many other ways, I'm not going to be the least bit surprised if that also includes "corrupting your save data". Though I could've sworn you could choose certain 'chapters' in each case in that version, at least.

I don't think it's a corruption issue. It shows the other chapters as "purchase required" which is clearly wrong, which makes me think that it's an issue with the app not handling switching iTunes accounts properly.

I've got some speculation to throw in for the case. Given that Powers' had a damaged ankle, and the Samurai Spear had been patched with duct tape: It has to be someone else in the costume. Powers himself would be leaning on the spear to alleviate the pain on his ankle, and with the spear broken it would not take his weight. Ergo it is someone faking the limp, who does not actually need the spear for support .

Case 3 - Turnabout Samurai Trial (Day 2) - Part 2  : (I think I'll wait and see where this goes.) : I suppose, since there weren't any additional crew members at the studios that day... It's quite likely that it was the defendant inside that costume.: I see no problem with this evidence.  : (He still doesn't seem that convinced to me... I hope.) : Hold it right there! We keep talking possibilities, but we have to agree that this photo shows the Steel Samurai!: Nowhere in this photo can we see Mr. Will Powers!: Hmm...: The defense has a point. I also wonder if someone else not caught on camera could have killed Mr. Hammer. We have to consider that possibility, also. : Then allow me to remove that doubt from your mind, Your Honor...Convergence. : Will the witness continue her testimony, please?: No need to ask twice!     : Hmm...: So, if no one else went to the studio...: Then it would have to be this "Steel Samurai" who did it.: Mr. Wright, you may cross-examine the witness.  : How do you know that?: Eh? Didn't I just explain? I gave donuts to the young detective.: And then, after some rubbish about it being a "secret, pal" he told me everything.: (I see Detective Gumshoe shares his fellow officer's fondness for donuts.) : Are you absolutely sure!?: Oh, quite, quite, sonny. Nobody suspicious lookin' passed by at all.: (Nobody suspicious lookin'... Right.) : What about before you got to the guard station?: You mean before 1:00?  : Not to mention... : Are you sure!?: The witness has answered the question! : That's right, sonny!: You let 'em have it, Edgey-boy!: (E-Edgey-boy...?): ...And we loop.  : Old windbags have a way of skipping over important details, after all... Or, for that matter, entirely forgetting them.: How convenient.: (Something for you to look forward to, perhaps?)So, where's the problem?  : Hold on!  : Yesiree, sonny.: So, whenever anyone passes by here, it automatically takes a picture?: And here I thought you didn't know your head from a hole in the ground. : It's also true that the computer in the guard station records all security cam data.: Ooh! You know, if you wanted to work at the studio, we might have an opening. : Note that on the back of the photo are printed the words: [Oct 15, 2:00 PM, Photo #2]: Even I know that means it was taken at 2:00 PM on October the 15th! Really, sonny!: Actually, I knew that too.: The issue here is the bit at the end where it says: "Photo #2"...: "Photo #2"...? : Don't you think that's odd?: Shouldn't this photo be "Photo #1" if it really was the ONLY photo!? : Order! Order!: Please tell the court what you mean by this, Mr. Wright! : Actually, that's what I want to ask the witness. : This evidence shows that not one, but two people went to the studio that day. Yet there is only data for one of the photos! Who could have erased the data for the other photo?: Only someone with access... the security lady herself! : The only person I saw that day was Will Powers!: But the camera on the gate fired twice! That means two people went by!: Umm... well, yes... that's what it would seem to mean...: Can the witness explain this to the court? : Umm... E-Edgey-boy! Help! : B-believe me, I want to, but I don't know what this means either.: Humph! Some help you are! You're a whippersnapper too! ... : Whippersnapper...?: Something the matter, Ms. Oldbag?: Ah! That's right!: I... I just remembered something!: Let me guess...: Someone else passed by the gate... someone other than the Steel Samurai?: Er... well, yes, I suppose you could put it that way.: *sigh* I see.: Your testimony, please.     : M-Ms. Oldbag! This is the first I've heard of this!: Well, of course, sonny! I've only just remembered it.: Right... anyway, Mr. Wright, please begin the cross-examination. : Well, I'd say this was a turn for the unexpected, but I kind of expected this...  : Another "job"?: T-that's right. I check all the people that passed by the main gate that day. I look closely at every one of the photos that security camera takes.: Do you backup all of the security camera data?: Well, they keep telling me too, yes.Not my misspelling there. : But those computers are just so frustrating. : How exactly do you determine what isn't "suspicious lookin'"?: Oh, you can tell by looking at their faces. For the most part.: F-for the most part?: This is a murder trial, Ms. Oldbag!: Well, I didn't touch that suspicious lookin' Will Powers's photo, did I?: (I think she's missing the point.) : Well, who in the heck was in that photo you erased!?: Humph. A fanboy.: F-fanboy?: Steel Samurai fanboys. Real freaks, if you ask me. They get information about the rehearsals from gosh-knows-where.: They're always hanging about. One was there that day.: W-wait a second! Didn't you just say no one else could get in!?: "I locked the main gate so no one could get in"... Those were your words!: Well! If you must know, there's a drain that goes into the Employee Area. : It leads outside, and well, that's where they come in.: They come in through the drain?: I told you they were freaks. Oh, and...: And...?: They're kids. Children. Whippersnappers. : So, on the photo that you erased...?: It was a boy. Probably 2nd or 3rd grade.  : O-order! Order!: Let me get this straight. You saw two people pass by the gate on their way to the studios that day? One was the Steel Samurai, dragging his leg. The other was a boy who looked to be in about 2nd or 3rd grade?: Oh yes, well we see his type there every day. Can't stop 'em. Can't catch 'em.: A boy in 2nd or 3rd grade? Hmm... I assume it would be hard, if not impossible for a young boy to wield the Samurai Spear?: Impossible, I'd think. It's quite heavy.: Right! As I said, I didn't pay him much mind. That's why I erased the data.: Um, Nick? What's going on? : Yeah, and they're already trying to "un-suspect" him.: I'd like to take a five minute recess.: I want the defense and the prosecution to consider this new information... And no forgetting vital information this time!    : Y-yes?: Tell me straight: were you really in your dressing room? You didn't go to the studio?: I-I didn't go to the studio! I was s-sleeping, honest. : So who was the "Steel Samurai" in that security photo?: How should I know? The Steel Samurai costume was off in the corner of the dressing room. Anyone could have walked in and taken it, really.  : I couldn't imagine anyone would want to steal a Steel Samurai costume! So... where does thi leave me?: It doesn't look good...: *sniff*: You're the only likely suspect, right now. : Nick! : W-what are we going to do!?: First, we play for more time. We'll start targeting someone else that could conceivably have done this! : And it'll take them so long to shoot us down that we can get another day!: Right... but if we pick the wrong person, we might lost on the spot.: You... don't sound very optimistic.: I'm not optimistic at all, actually. : Hey, Nick. It's time.: Okay. Let's go. *sigh*: What does that men... Please don't sigh like that! *sniff*Next time: Back to trial. Rhode Island Gen. Laws, Section 11-14-2 posted:Every person wo shall falsely assume or pretend to be a town sealer of weights and measures, auctioneer, corder of wood, or fence-viewer, and shall act as such, shall be fined not less than twenty dollars ($20.00) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100).

Case 3 - Turnabout Samurai Trial (Day 2) - Part 3  : Mr. Edgeworth, will you present the prosecution's thoughts on this matter?: The prosecution's thoughts are simple.: Nothing has changed. The other person who went to the studios was a boy of roughly 10 years of age. The photo we do have may not be hard evidence...: But there is still no one else that could have committed this crime! I call for a verdict of "guilty" for the defendant, Mr. Will Powers!: Hmm...: Very well. Mr. Wright, your thoughts?: The defense disagrees with the prosecution's claim.: There IS another person who could have committed this crime!: Order!: Interesting... Let us hear who you have in mind! However...: Be aware that this court does not look kindly on accusing the innocent. If you accuse someone who is obviously innocent, you will be penalized.: (Right. Great. As if the stakes weren't high enough.)  : It was the assistant! The Steel Samurai costume was in his dressing room. : So you're saying the Steel Samurai in the picture is really the assistant?: That's correct, Your Honor!: If you're serious, you've got guts, Mr. Wright. : Wasn't the Steel Samurai a little lame!? He was dragging his foot!: Oh. (Uh oh. Bad feeling time.): Remember the testimony concerning Powers's injury!!!Brief fade to black... : Powerrs and poor Hammer were at the run-through.: Oh, and me.: What about the assistant?: Oh, her? She was cleaning up backdrops, I think.: She didn't know about Powers's ankle.And we fade back. : The assistant knew nothing of Mr. Power's injury!Whoops, typo there. : She could look the Steel Samurai look with that costume...: But she couldn't walk the Steel Samurai walk! She wouldn't have limped! : That kind of takes the legs out from under that case...: Mr. Wright. I'm afraid I have to penalize you, as I warned.And we lose one of our strikes. : (Nobody knows... the trouble I've seen...): May we move on, Mr. Wright?: (Grr... this fight isn't over yet!): If you would, Your Honor, one more chance, please.: Very well. Go ahead. : It was the grade-school boy! ... ...: Why isn't anyone saying anything?: Bah! Are you seriously suggeting the boy did it, Mr. Wright!?: "Grade-school boy kills veteran action star with spear!" : Would you care to explain just how the boy was involved?: (Hmm... maybe that was a dumb move on my part.): "Maybe"? "Maybe"!? How about "absolutely," Nick!: Mr. Wright. I'm afraid I have to penalize you, as I warned.And we lose one of our strikes. : (Nobody knows... the trouble I've seen...): May we move on, Mr. Wright?: (Grr... this fight isn't over yet!): If you would, Your Honor, one more chance, please.: Very well. Go ahead. : It was the security lady! Wendy Oldbag!  : That means whoever was in the suit knew about that morning's injury. Maybe because... they had been watching the action scene run-through!: There was only one person other than Powers and Hammer who knew about the injury. : W-what!? Whippersnapper!: Order! Order!: I-is this true, Oldbag!?: Oldbag!? That's Ms. Oldbag to you!: Ms. Oldbag was standing guard alone at the main gate.: She was by herself... in other words, she has no alibi! She could have briefly left her post to steal the Steel Samurai costume...: Then slipped into Studio One, the scene of the murder!: W-why would she go through the trouble of wearing the Steel Samurai costume!?: Simple, Your Honor. : If she was in his costume, she could point the finger at Mr. Powers!: I see!: Excellent deductive reasoning, Mr. Wright.: (Ohhh yeah, right here! Sherlock Holmes II, baby!): ...?: (That's odd. Isn't this the part where Edgeworth pounces...? Doesn't he usually jump up with an objection and some new damning evidence...?): Well, Mr. Edgeworth? Does the prosecution have an opinion on this matter?: ... The prosecution has no meaningful objections at this time. : Oh, so you all think I did it? Is that it!?: Edgey-boy! Don't just sit there, do something!  : (I guess this does kind of make it look like she's the killer.): (Funny, I feel bad for her all of a sudden.): Hmm...: It's true that the witness could conceivably have committed this crime. Yet we must not forget that the victim was an action hero.: As formidable as her personality may be, I doubt she'd be strong enough.: (Uh oh! If he removes her from consideration, that means Mr. Powers is it! Sorry, windbag... but I don't have choice.)And we pick up where the other option starts.  : The very same reasoning that makes Mr. Powers a suspect in this case...: can be used to cast doubt on Ms. Oldbag's actions on that day!: B-but why would I do something so horrible to poor Hammer!? : You forget that Mr. Powers lacks a clear motive, too.: Hmm...: Indeed.: (That did it. Now windbag is one of the suspects. No hard feelings... I hope.): Wait just a minute!: What about the other person who went to the studio!?: The boy! The one whose photo I erased!: He's only a grade schooler though, as you said. 2nd or 3rd grade, was it?: Th-that doesn't matter!: When I was that age, I could pin my old man in 10 seconds, tops!: Hmm... Your thoughts, Mr. Wright?: That boy is not the killer.: What!? How can you be so sure!: Oh, or is it be nice to the kids and mean to your elders day? Whippersnapper!: I have proof. : Indeed? Then let's see this proof, Mr. Wright.  : Your Honor!  : How could the boy have taken the spear? It's impossible!: I see!: Well, would the witness care to comment on this?: Mrph.: (The windbag... speechless. This has got to be a first.): Very well!: This court will suspend proceedings on the current trial for today.: Mr. Edgeworth, please find out more about your witness, Ms. Windy... what was her name?: Something "Oldbag," Your Honor.: Then the prosecution will look further into this Oldbag before we continue!: That is all. The court is adjourned!  : I'm not going to just sit here while you run off barking up the wrong tree... me!: I'm talking! : Ms. Oldbag! What is this all about?: Have you omitted something from your testimony?: Actually, if you must know,: there's something I was told not to talk about. : By whom!?: (Huh? You mean it wasn't Edgeworth who told her not to talk...?): W-well, testify!       : M-Ms. Oldbag! This is crucial information! Why did you keep this from the court until now!?: Ain't you been listening?: They told me to shut my trap, and I always do what I'm told.: ...: (No, this isn't a bad dream, Your Honor. Witness the power of the Oldbag...): Mr. Wright... Your cross-examination.  : So, you were told not to talk?: That's right! By the studio and TV bigwigs, no less!: Why didn't I hear about this!?: Don't be too hard on yourself, sonny. We were all in on it. : W-who were these people!?: Well, the director and the producer, for starters...: The... director?: We should have known something was fishy! How could they have done a run-through of their action scene without a director? : Of course!: Yes, well, I was surprised no one asked about it.: So, where were these people? : He joined the producer around lunchtime and they had a meeting after that.: Where!: Oh, in the Studio Two trailer.: S-Studio Two...!? (There was a Studio Two...?): Well, if you look at the guidemap... : You go through the gate and all the way to the left. : Well, Mr. Wright... Would you like to continue the cross-examination...?  : Ms. Oldbag! This is a trial for murder!: I know that, silly!: Still, they were pretty convincing about having nothing to do with it.: And... they gave me a little bonus on the side.: (So, you got your "bonus" and you still talked...) : (I guess there's no harm in getting as much info as I can!) : So they were actually in the studio!?: Yes, the whole day.: When they heard about the murder, they beat it before the cops came.: *grumble* (I'll kill this woman, I swear it...): (I feel sorry for Edgeworth, almost. She really left him hanging on this one.) : "Them"...?: W-who were these people!?: Well, the director and the producer, for starters...: The... director?: We should have known something was fishy! How could they have done a run-through of their action scene without a director?: Of course!: Yes, well, I was surprised no one asked about it.: So, where were these people?: He joined the producer around lunchtime and they had a meeting after that.: Where!: Oh, in the Studio Two trailer.: S-Studio Two...!? (There was a Studio Two...?): Well, if you look at the guidemap...: You go through the gate and all the way to the left.: Well, Mr. Wright... Would you like to continue the cross-examination...? : Your Honor. We have learned that there were others at Global Studios on the day in question.: The director and the producer and, er, some bigwigs, were all present.: Yet, as we stand here, they have not been questioned!: I hold that it is impossible to declare a verdict on the defendant, Mr. Powers!: Hmm...: The court acknowledges the defense's point.: The prosecution will gather more information about the witness, Ms. Oldbag... and more information about these other people we have just been told of!: ... I understand, Your Honor.: This ends the day's proceedings in the trial of Mr. Will Powers. That is all. The court is adjourned!   : I was right to ask you to defend me.: Aww, really, it's nothing. *grin*: Oh, or should I... *sniff*: We'll be going down to the studios to do some more investigation. We have to find out more about the director and producer. They'll be turning up in the next trial as witnesses for certain. So now's my chance to get material for the cross-examination!: So, Nick... Have we figured out just who it was in that Steel Samurai costume?: Could it really have been old windbag?: What do you think, Mr. Powers?: I don't think it was her, really. : Neither do I, Nick.: Y-yeah, I know! Look, I was just buying time back there. Someone had to be the bad guy for a bit to take the pressure off Mr. Powers. : Poor old windbag... I feel kinda sorry for her.: Well, she wasn't winning any points in there, with or without my accusation. Okay, let's get down to the studios.: Right! We'll be back to visit you soon...: Th-thanks. Thanks, guys. *sniff* Next time: Back to investigation! South Carolina Code Ann. Section 16-17-420 posted:It shall be unlawful: Mors Rattus fucked around with this message at 01:36 on May 31, 2016 |

Well it looks like edgeworth's as in the dark about this as the rest of us. At least he's playing this one fairly.

Kind of a plot hole that we have to hear about these people here, when Mr. Powers could have told us about them any time.

As a rule, defendants don't tell Phoenix near enough what they should about the situation.

It was also pointed out in the actual case, both Pheonix and Edgeworth didn't think to mention/ask about the Director and even Oldbag found it unusual. They're Attorneys, not actors and there's a whole set of assumptions that can and will glossed over.

At least Edgeworth has the humility to admit that both sides were dumbasses for not realizing it made no sense?
