Speaking of names, is there a joke I'm missing in Dee Vasquez's name? I've always thought it might have something to do with "Diva" but I could never make the "squez" part work in that case. Seems like a missed opportunity, since almost every other character's name is some kind of pun.

I remember someone somewhere saying it's supposed to be like "Diva Squeeze".

She was briefly seen during an investigation montage and never again. She never even got her name mentioned let alone a speaking role.

I'm honestly surprised I've never seen a murder mystery where the culprit deliberately breaks a clock to obfuscate the timing.

The wiretap in the last case could be excused as phoenix just taking a picture, but stealing the keys off a security guard to open up a locked and private room? To be fair, that is literally the only way defence attorneys can fight their cases in Japanifornia, since he's not being granted access to those places and objects normally, so I'd say he should get a medal for those thefts. Then he can show the medal to everyone he meets, and get nothing but confusion and disdain in response.

Case 2 - Turnabout Samurai Investigation (Day 2) - Part 3   : Now what... We're fresh out of clues. Everyone's alibi is watertight. We don't even have any promising leads. Things are looking pretty grim. : It's a little early for giving up, don't you think?: Huh?: You've got one lead...  : What took you so long!? : Sorry, Phoenix. Maya has trouble calling me unless she's really in trouble.: Right! Oh, wait. I guess that means we're really in trouble. : I'd say so.: What did you mean, we have one lead...?: The boy, of course.   : I dunno. He didn't sound like he was going to help us at all.: I'm sure you can find some way of bringing him over to your side. : Either way, we should get back to the studios. That boy is our last hope, Phoenix.: (Thanks, now I'm more worried than I was before...)Oh, and some new witness profiles got added!   Now, let's chat with Mia!  : So, what's the best thing to do from here?: We need to get to the studio and talk to that boy. : So, do you have any ideas about who might have done this?: We don't have enough information to make a case yet.: (Where have I heard that phrase before? So THAT's where Maya got it from...)And the badge... : Showing me that isn't going to do any good.: You know what they say, "Dead men don't tell tales.": (You sure are talking enough!)    : Huff... puff... huff... puff... whih... whippersnapper!: (She's been chasing that boy this whole time.): Huff... puff... when... when I ca... catch him... I... huff: (Sounds like she hasn't had any luck catching him.): Huff... puff... I... I got a hostage now, whippersnapper!: (A "hostage"...!?) : Umm... what happened to the boy?: I-if I see him a-again, I'll... huff! L-lay him flat! Huff... puff...  : Actually, I met with the director just now...: Eh? Hah... my heart, it don't feel so good.: (Is she okay!?): B-before I go, I'd like to v-visit the place where poor H-Hammer died...: (Right... she was saying she wanted to visit the studio where he died.) : What's this about a "hostage"?: Huff... huff... W-when that boy was running away... ...he dropped this, a-and ran! Huff... huff... H-he'll come back... huff... huff... for this one!: (It's kind of hard to understand her with all that huffing and puffing.): Phoenix! That "hostage" might be what we need! Cody might talk to us if we gave him that!: (Good idea!) Ms. Oldbag! Might I...: No! : I'm catching that brat if it's the last thing I do! : Phoenix. Do you have anything you might trade with her?: (A trade, hmm... I wonder...?)As it happens, we might.   : That's a card... huff... Studio One?: Right. A cardkey to Studio One.: Huff... puff... I... I could visit poor Hammer... I'd like to visit... huf... he died... whew. I was his... his fan.: You don't have your own card, Ms. Oldbag?: Studio One isn't my turf. Huff... huff... You'll let me borrow... borrow it, then? : Why don't you let her borrow it, Phoenix?: I guess it can't hurt. Her you go, Ms. Oldbag. : ... Listen to me, sonny. I don't like having debts to no whippersnappers. : What's this...? A Steel Samurai trading card?: That sneaky kid dropped it! I figure it's pretty important to him, though.: Thank you, I may have a use for this. (This must be the "hostage" she was talking about.) : Right. I'm off.: (There she goes, hobbling off toward the studio...)    : ... Phoenix... Was that the boy?: Yeah. His name's "Cody Hackins.": I think he ran into the dressing room.  : He's sure to be in here somewhere...   : Dammit! He's getting away!: Come back! ... There. He's back.  : ...: Hey there. Would you mind helping us out? Please?: ... : I-I'm Cody.: Hello, Cody. I'm Mia. Mia Fey. Nice to meet you. : And I'm Phoenix Wright!: Who asked?: Phoenix, you can take it from here.: (I'm not so sure I'm qualified...) : The Steel Samurai's so cool. I think he's the, um, the "bomb.": Hah! What would a lamer like you know about the Steel Samurai!: H-hey, watch that attitude!: Phoenix, you really shouldn't yell like that. He's only a kid. : Yeah! Don't yell like that I'm only a kid!The game seems to be short on punctuation suddenly.  : So, do you know anything about what happened here? Could you tell me, please?: I don't know nothing!: (Hmm... looks like a little persuasion's necessary. Maybe a bribe...?)   : Hey! My UR!: "You are"... huh?: "U.R." You know, "ultra rare"! That card's really hard to get!: Man, for a grown-up, you sure are dumb!: I'll give you this... IF you help me.: But that's my card! By offering me something I already own, you're in effect eschewing the very basis of our consumer society, namely the principle of fair trade! Man, for a grown-up, you sure are dumb!: (W-what do they teach these kids in school these days!? Quantum physics!?): Whatever, I don't need that card.: Huh?: I got a double.: Just keep it. It's yours.: (What!? After I went through all that trouble...): If you want to ttrade, find me a REALLY rare card!: "Really rare"!? You mean there's something rare than "Ultra Rare"!?: Ultra Rare Premium cards are way rarer than plain Ultra Rare cards! Come ON!: Man, for a grown-up, you sure are dumb!: Premium... rare... why do I feel like we're talking about steaks?OBviously, the place to look for one of these is Studio Two. Clearly.    : Hello. What brings you here? : Oh, well, I had to arrange some stuff... Umm...: Yes? : They, um, girl with you. Doesn't she seem a little different? Like, is she even the same person as before?: Um, nope! She's the same as always.: Same as always.: Okay... whatever you say... : Have you seen the boy since then?: Nope. You missed it, though.: The security lady was chasing around after the boy so fast I thought she'd collapse. Of course, he got away in the end. Boy, was she mad!: Actually, we saw them. How's the old windbag doing?: She was squeezing donuts through her clenched fists back at the guard station.: (Some people take their jobs a little too seriously.) : Are all the posters on the wall here of Hammer?: Yes. It's really a terrible loss for the studios.: But... his popularity had been waning recently, right?: That's true.: Then again, after what happened...: After WHAT happened?: Y-you mean, you don't know about Hammer...?: No, what?: I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. : Wait, now you have to tell me. What happened with Hammer?: I-I'm sorry. I'm probably not the one who should tell you.: (Uh oh. Why do I get the feeling something's being covered up here?)Well, no matter. May as well see if she knows who might be into Steel Samurai cards. : Do you know anything about this? : I collect those, actually. I'm one card away from a complete set!: A complete set?: Yeah, a set of one of each card.: Huh...: ... Wait... Waitwaitwaitwait!!! That's it!!! That's the card I need! You don't know how long I've been looking for it!: Uh...: I don't care what kind of girl you might think I am, I need that card! : T-trade with you? : Yes, trade cards! : Trade me a... huh?: Yes, it's a good deal for your Ultra Rare! Please!!!: Phoenix! Can't you see she's desperate? : Okay.: Really!? Th-thanks!!! Then this is for you. Yaa-hoo!: (And there she goes...) : Doesn't doing good things like that make you feel great?: Yeah. Yeah, it does.Now, back to Cody.  : See this card? : That's the last Ultra Rare Premium card I need! C'mon give it to me, please! You gotta give it to me!: (Wow, I've never seen him so... eager.) R-right! Okay! How about a trade? : You're on! : No no no no... not that kind of trade. I don't want cards. I want information.: Huh? You sure? Fine by me!We hand over the card. : Okay, Phoenix. Let's hear what he has to say. If he knows something that could help us, we can have him take the stand tomorrow.: So... you like the Steel Samurai.: He's so cool! : You're judging him by his looks! You have to look at his actions, at his life!: (I'm being lectured on life by a grade schooler...): You like him too, don'tcha?: Uh... Oh, me? Y-yeah! I, um, love the Steel Samurai.  : R-right... (C'mon, think of something!) I really like his, um, his kind nature. What a guy!: Totally! He looks so tough, but inside, he's as gentle as a kitten!: Yeah...: So what else do you like about him?: (Don't tell me I have to keep this act up...) : W-well... (I've never even seen a full episode of that dumb show.) A-actually, I'm kind of a fan of Will Powers...: Whoa! That's totally hard-core!: (You're calling ME hard-core?): So what else do you like about him?: (Don't tell me I have to keep this act up...) : (Got to think of something...) I like it when he, uh, he vanquishes his foes!: Yeah! Whizzam!: The Steel Samurai always wins! Always! Check this out! It's my fan album! : I go to every live performance!: (Those stupid publicity stunts where they beat each other up in public...?): I always take a picture when the Steel Samurai lands the final blow! Whizzam!: I got 'em all! I never missed one! A perfect collection! : Wow, that's very impressive. The newest model, isn't it?: You bet, lady! I just got it for my birthday! : The Steel Samurai always wins! Always!: Hey, if you want this, you can have it, lady.: Really? Are you sure?: Yeah, I took these with a digital camera. I got all the data at home so I can always make another one.: Well, then I'm happy to accept! Thank you. : (What's with people always giving stuff to Mia? What a life!): ?: You were here on the day opf the... incident, right?: Yeah...: Did you see anything unusual?: ...: Cody.: !: Cody, he needs to know because he's fighting for justice. Isn't that the Steel Samurai's motto? "For great justice"? You have to help us fight for great justice, too.: I... I saw... I saw everything!: (Well, well... We might get some useful information out of him yet.) : Cody... I need to ask you something very important. What did you see on the day of the incident?: ... : I got here that day around 2:00... I had to come in through the woods out back so that old lady wouldn't see me.: I got kinda lost, though. I was in there for maybe a half hour or so. Then I finally got to the studio. After that...: What is it, Cody? : He used his Samurai Spear! Just like always! One shot, one kill! It happened so fast... I got scared. I went home after that.: I... I see. It must have been hard for you.: Man, you say those nice things but it's so obvious you aren't speaking from the heart.: (Umm... right.) Mia?: Yes?: I think we can say for sure this means the Steel Samurai did it. : True enough.: And the director has an alibi, so it wasn't him.: Indeed.: So... the only person left who it could have been is Will Powers!: ... I have to admit, it's kind of a shock. But if you put this boy on the witness stand, your client iwll be "guilty" for sure.: Let's not call him then...: I think that would be wise. Best to leave this one alone.: Not so fast, pal!   : And he's under police protection, starting now! C'mon, son. : You've got a rendezvous with me down at the precinct!: No! I ain't going! Waah!: ... That didn't go so well! We're back to zero leads.: And now we have a serious handicap in court.: W-what're we going to do, Mia!: Well, hmm... I... really need to be going.: Don't worry, Phoenix. I'm sure you'll be fine!: Whoa whoa whoa! C-come to the trial tomorrow, please! I need you there!: Phoenix, can I ask you something?  : (I never expected things to go this badly for Powers's case... I'm not sure we can win this one.): Phoenix? If you don't believe in him, who will!?: (Uh oh, she's mad.): Oh well... I'll see you in court tomorrow then. : Of course he is!: ... That's all I wanted to hear.: Excellent. I'll see you in court, then.Convergence. : Great! Thanks, Mia!: See you soon. Next time: Court.

See, I assumed Valentine was just playing with an old trope, Very Serious Edgeworth actually being interested in the silly kids' show. If you hadn't just given the game away with the "shhhhh" emote, it wouldn't have seemed like a spoiler. By trying to hide a spoiler you usually just confirm it (and that's 'you' in the general sense, not you in particular, don't worry), so maybe consider not bothering with that in future. Heck, if you can't bring yourself to just let it be swept under the rug, ignored so that people don't realise it's a spoiler, try burying the possibility by playing along in a silly way - suggest he silently pats a USB stick in his pocket with the entire series recorded on it, or goes full tsundere, something like that. It's more fun and more effective than wink-wink-nudge-nudge. On the subject of the woods, I do really like that the game has not only spotted this flaw in its logic but planned for it and used it in the case itself. This is a seriously smart game, it continues to impress me. I had expected silly lawyer action, I hadn't expected the core to be so well thought-through. I know it's only Case 3 so far, but none of them have really let me down yet.

Case 3 - Turnabout Samurai Trial (Day 3) - Part 1     : ... : Umm... Mr. Wright?: Yes?: Why do you look so... unhappy?: O-oh! Oh, nothing! Eh heh heh. Really, it's nothing. Right, Mia? (Uh oh. She looks even unhappier...): Phoenix. Your client is now practically a dead man walking... Perhaps that's why I feel particularly close to him.: This is no time for dead-people jokes, please.: You know we're going into this trial utterly defenseless. Yet, if Mr. Powers is truly innocent... We should be able to find something overlooked in the evidence to prove it.: Something "overlooked"...?: We have to find something, Phoenix, today. It's that, or lose the trial.: (This isn't going ot be easy.)     : 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.: An unexpected fact has come to the attention of the court. Yesterday, we learned that there were other people present at the studios! Today, I would like to show evidence proving they had nothing to do with the murder.: Very well. You may call your first witness, Mr. Edgeworth. : (I wonder if that producer is going to come out...): The prosecution calls Mr. Sal Manella to the stand.: (... or that director.) : Will the witness state his name and profession? : ... : How r00d can j00 get! J00 don't know ME!? I'm the director! I make the Steel Samurai, n00b! ROFL! : ... : Were you at Global Studios on the day of the murder?: Y-yes, Your Honor.: Hmm...: Very well. Please testify to the court about the events of that day.  : Let's start by picking this testimony apart. If Powers is innocent, you know what that means. Someone in the trailer on that day did it!: R-right. (She doesn't waste any time putting on the pressure!)          : Hmm...: The time of Mr. Hammer's death was 2:30 PM. And according to your testimony, you were in a meeting at that time.: Mr. Wright, you may begin your cross-examination.: Yes, Your Honor.   : Is that when you always come in to work?: Oh, oh no. I come in all sort of hours. It's the "industry" way.: (Yeah, I know all about the freaks in your "industry"...) : Still, FWIW, I was pretty busy all that day.  : Tell us more about that. : In the Employee Area?: That's right. It was a fight scene between the Steel Samurai and the Evil Magistrate.: Was anyone else at the run-through?: Oh, yeah. That security lady was sitting there watching the whole thing. LOL. She was cheering on Hammer, if you can believe it. : (She certainly has the lungs for it...): Anyone else?: Nope, just us four. : Why did it go on so long?: Um, I'm pretty sure j00've already heard about this... But WP twisted his ankle during the run-through, see...: (Oh, right, thus the limp.): Which of course led to me missing my lunch. ROFS!: (ROFS? Rolling on the Floor... Starving?) : What exactly did they have for lunch? : T-bone steak! The assistant cooked some up.: (Come to think of it, there was a plate with some bones on it in the Employee Area.) : "Everyone else" meaning that the witness did not eat with them. : So, in the end, you didn't get to eat?: Yeah. No steak, at least! Can j00 believe it?: That must have been tough.: Phoenix.: Yeah?  : Well, no, not really. Seems pretty straightforward.  : Actually, there is something bothering me.: Mr. Manella, just now you said, "steak, at least.": So you ate something other than steak?: Yeah, good call!: I had some chocolate in my pocket, which I used to stave off starvation!: I see...: (Is that all? I was sure I was on to something there.) : Yeah, it does seem odd, now that you mention it.: Mr. Manella! : H-hmm? W-what do j00 mean? *sweats*: When I went to that trailer, I saw something on the table. There were two plates on the table--the same kind of plates as in the Employee Area. : Who ate lunch there? : No, er, ah, um, eh heh. Good call! *sweats* I, er, I was embarrassed so I didn't mention it...: But I did eat, after all.: A t-bone steak, you mean?: Yeah, well, I mean the assistant went through all that trouble...: I brought it to the trailer, thinking I could eat it later.: (Clearly a man who likes to eat. I'd suspected as much...): So, when exactly did you eat it?: We took one break during that meeting.: I, er, wolfed it down then. *drool*: (A mental image I will carry with me to my grave...): (Wait a second...! If they took a break in that meeting, that contradicts his testimony!): (I'll press on that one a bit more...) : What were you discussing?: The Steel Samurai story, and our budget.: Get this! The sponsors turn to me and say, "Mr. Manella. Those scripts of yours are not appropriate for children." Can j00 believe it!?: (Actually, I kind of can.): So, nobody left the table during the whole meeting? : You didn't take a single break?: Er... well...: Y-yeah! Not a one! *sweats*: (Hmm... what's he sweating so much about, I wonder? If only I had an idea... Wait a second...)  : Wait a second! Mr. Manella, you've just contradicted yourself!: Didn't you just tell the court that you ate that t-bone steak during a break?  : Well?: Umm...: Mr. Manella, what's this all about?: W-well, yeah, I guess we did take a little break. : Phoenix! Great job! If they took a break, one of them could have gone to the studio during that time!: Your Honor! I call on the witness to testify to the court about this break!: Very well. Mr. Manella, your testimony, please.: Urk!: Heh heh heh...: (Uh oh. Edgeworth is laughing...)     : Hmm...: I don't think it would even be enough time for that, but that's just me.: Very well. You may begin the cross-examination.  : What time exactly did you take this break?: Hmm... I'd say it was from around 2:30 or so until 2:45.: (2:30!!!) : (That's the time of death! So he could have gone to Studio One, killed Hammer, and come back...): (I guess it's possible, time-wise...): ... : What were you doing for those 15 minutes?: Eating my t-bone steak! What else!?: There were two plates on the trailer table...?: Oh, right. The other one was Diva's... sorry, Dee Vasquez's plate.: (Dee Vasquez... the producer.): To eat a t-bone steak in 15 minutes... that's quite a feat. : Why is that? : Haven't we had enough of this pointless line of questioning?: Your Honor! The testimony to this point has made one certain fact painfully clear: The people in the trailer had nothing to do with the murder! : It was impossible for any of them to go to Studio One!: What!?: Something wrong, Mr. Wright?: Surely you aren't suggesting one of the people in the trailer went to Studio One!: Hmm...: Well, Mr. Wright?: Phoenix, this is critical! Think about it before you give your answer!  : (If I agree to let everyone in that trailer off the hook then the trial is over... Mr. Powers will be found guilty for sure!): The victim was murdered at 2:30, the exact time of the break in the meeting.: With 15 minutes, murder is certainly a possibility!: Hmm...: I suppose you might say that...: (Alright, I've got the judge thinking now!): Tsk, tsk, tsk... : Never a dull moment with you, Mr. Wright!: What's your point, Edgeworth!: You've been doing your homework, haven't you? Look at the Court Record.: The Court Record...?: Surely, you knew that from 2:15 to 4:00 the path between the studios was blocked? Mrs. Monkey's head had fallen across the path!  : However! The path from there to the scene of the crime was blocked!  : ... (It's actually "Mr. Monkey," but Edgeworth has a point... And somehow, I feel no desire to correct him.): No counter-argument, Mr. Wright?  : (I don't want to write off so many possible suspects... But I can't keep claiming the impossible, either...): I agree that it was impossible for anyone in the trailer to go to the studio in that time.: Ha hah!: I thought you might be thoughtlessly treading on thin ice again! But I see you had at least an inkling of the truth. : What do you mean, Mr. Edgeworth?: It's quite simple...: True, the break in the trailer meeting came right at the time of death... However! The path from there to the scene of the crime was blocked! : Ergo! When the people in the trailer took a break at 2:30, the way to the studio was blocked. Blocked... by Mrs. Monkey's severed head!: ... (It's actually "Mr. Monkey," but Edgeworth has a point... And somehow, I feel no desire to correct him.)Convergence. : I believe we have seen enough evidence.  : I would like to relieve Mr. Manella from the stand.: (Wh-what? It's over?) : Very well. The court's opinion on this case is as follows: We have found that there were several other people in Studio 2 on the day of the murder. However, it is also clear that none of these people could have gone to Studio One. They therefore have no relation to this case. : Given the size of the costume, no one other than Mr. Powers could have worn it that day.: All that is lacking is decisive evidence that he is the one who did it. If we had that, I'm afraid I would have to find Mr. Powers guilty.: Your Honor.: The prosecution is pleased to announce that we indeed have decisive evidence: a witness.: Who is this witness, Mr. Edgeworth?: My witness saw the very moment when the Steel Samurai skewered the victim!: Order! I will have order!: I see. The court will take a 10 minute recess, after which we will hear your witness.: Court is adjourned for recess!  : What do we do now, Mia? If everyone in that trailer has an alibi...: ... I'm sorry, Phoenix. I guess I was wrong.: M-Mia! Don't tell me you're giving up! If you give up, what hope do I have...?: ...: Don't get me wrong. I've never given up on a trial before, not while there was a chance. Only one thing became clear in your cross-examination.: The people in the trailer could not have gone to Studio One. I thought there was more to it than that... But I was wrong.: That's all there is.: Umm... Er... What's going to happen to me? : It kinda seems like everyone in that courtroom thinks I did it... They think I'm a murderer!: Don't worry, Mr. Powers. If you are innocent, we will prove it. I guarantee it. Leave it to us, and... be yourself. Be strong.: You are the Steel Samurai, hero to children everywhere, after all.: I... You... Thanks. *sniff*: Okay, Phoenix. This one's for the kids!: Let's do it!Next time: The witness. 7 U.S.C. Section 450j posted:The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized ot make indemnity payments for milk or cows producing such milk at a fair market value, to dairy farmers who have been directed since January 1, 1964 [...] to remove their milk [...] from commercial markets because of residues of chemicals registered and approved for use by the Federal Government at the time of such use. The Secretary is also authorized to make indemnity payments for milk, or cows producing such milk, at a fair market value to any dairy farmer who is directed to remove his milk from commercial markets because of (1) the presence of products of nuclear radiation or fallout if such contamination is not due to the fault of the farmer...

Love this case. It plays with so many assumptions.  A few typos: quote:[img]http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png[/omg]: Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your opening statement, please. quote:

Well, I guess I'm still recusing myself from speculating. Because there's one detail that I still remember, which hasn't come up by now. I could have sworn it came up before this point -- I was waiting for them to say "Hey, what about (detail)" during their walk around the studios -- but apparently not. Really enjoying how tense this is feeling for the defense, though. If I didn't know about that detail, I'd be seriously worried.

I love how Edgeworth is immediately done with every witness in this case as soon as they open their mouth.

I like how Edgeworth managed to get Sal to (mostly) speak like a normal person. I get the impression he's the only person other than Vasquez that can get our good friend the director to behave himself.

He ate a cold steak? If it was prepared at 12pm like the rest of them, that's a pretty miserable lunch, and a weird sort of aborted extravagance. It couldn't have been hot, since there would have been 'no way' for the assistant to take it to them at that time (both due to the monkey head and due to the camera). Interesting that he didn't spot Cody, though. The kid kinda stands out in his lime greens.

I think it's more than Sal is used to throwing his weight around (ho ho) people whom he perceives are beneath him in status. Obviously he knows how to conduct himself around his producer and studio executives. Apparently since Edgeworth is supposed to be helping him in court, Sal assumes that he's in a superior status, but Edgeworth is able to shut that down with a silent glare to let him know that Sal's in HIS world now. There's so much understated greatness in the writing of so many of these early cases of the series. Even the deliberately annoying and stereotypical characters like Sal who are meant to play only a small role have some depth in them. A mark of good writing and a drat good character is when they are able to say everything they need to without speaking a word; Edgeworth definitely fits the bill here.

Initial trial implies that you get a regular trial after the Initial trial. Given the 100% conviction rate, Doesn't this just increase the backlog by making everyone have TWO trials?

The whole thing was really a justification for the cases to be a reasonable timeframe rather than having them be stretched out over months like a real murder trial would be. Also, I think the secondary trial is just a sentencing hearing.
