She didn't call the police and I don't think she's made clear she actually knows what happened to either man on the boat, but she knows that the lake was calm and that no one was on the shore. I'm not sure what to object to in the testimony, but it's clear she barely noticed the guys, if at all.

Part 91: Episode 4, Day 2, Trial: Guilt Trap This one's a little tricky, because it's indirect and it seems like a few pieces of evidence could apply. Ultimately, though, the contradiction is this: Why would she be looking only at the boat, if she were out there looking for Gourdy and had just heard the noise that indicates Gourdy has appeared? Additionally, she had said in her first testimony that the only thing on the lake was the boat, and on pressing she was sure about that fact because she was scanning the whole lake, not watching the boat the whole time:  And the reason she was scanning the whole lake, was to look for Gourdy. So the right evidence to present here is the Gourdy Article, on which she already admitted she was out there looking for Gourdy.  We can actually present our evidence on any of the last three lines of the cross, but the middle of those makes the most sense here. Music: Silence   Ms. Hart!  W-what's with you!? Course I was looking at it!Sound: Whack  I agree, any normal person would. Sound: Desk Slam Music: Telling the Truth  But you are far from normal! You were camping at the lake to take a picture of Gourdy!Sound: Desk Slam  Think about it-- What would you do if you heard a loud noise? Sound: Drama Pound You wouldn't give the boat a second thought! Aah!Sound: Stab  Sound: Gallery We've got the crowd going again with that one!  Sound: Gavel  Order! Continue, Mr. Wright! However, you wouldn't need binoculars to watch that boat! Sound: Realization ...!Sound: Stab 2 ... ...Sound: Desk Slam Well!? Hmph... Well, now that y'all mention it...  I mean, Gourdy might be out there, n' all... M-Ms. Hart!Sound: Light Bulb  Sound: Whack ...Music: Silence  S'sorry, y'all.Sound: Realization I wasn't fibbing, really. I kinda got excited. Exhibit A on why eyewitness testimony is the worst form of evidence. She heard there was a murder and Edgeworth was the suspect and her brain outright fabricated a memory of having witnessed it.  ... Sound: Whoops Music: Telling the Truth B-but hey!Sound: Whack  Sound: Damage 2  Hmm...  Right! Right!Sound: Light Bulb  Music: Silence  Sound: Fwa-Shing 2  Witness... That's enough. You know, I was wondering whatever happened to the photo enlargement. It must've shown something that Karma doesn't want us to see. Sh-shut my what!?Sound: Realization  (What was she going to say?) (She took the photo... and what?) (Wait a second...)  Flashback time! But you really can't tell from the photo who is shooting. That's why she said she's going to enlarge the photo. Enhance!  Music: Suspense (She enlarged that photo!) (Why won't von Karma let her show it?) Sound: Shock 2 (I've got a hunch!) (This is my chance!) (If I'm wrong, though, it'll mean prison for Edgeworth... or worse.) Welcome to our first guilt trap. As Phoenix hinted in the previous line, getting this choice wrong is an instant guilty verdict and game over. Fortunately, this choice is easy - it's pretty obvious that doing nothing isn't going to work here, given where we are with this case. quote:If we wait and see what happens instead... Music: Silence  Sound: Swoop 2 Sound: Desk Slam Ms. Hart! Look at this photograph.  Y-yeah! I did!Sound: Light Bulb   Sound: Whack That one was weak, Karma. What're y'all talking about!?Sound: Super Shock  This situation is why, in the US, prosecutors are legally required to disclose to the defense any evidence they have or discover that could be considered exculpatory (meaning: tending or serving to clear the defendant from alleged fault or guilt). Not that it stops a lot of them from trying to avoid it anyway; a local DA here just got sanctioned for repeatedly violating this rule, including a case where for over four months they withheld evidence that proved a defendant's innocence, providing it just six days before the trial. There's even a name for this rule - the Brady Rule, named after a Brady v. Maryland criminal case in 1963 where two separate defendants were accused of the same murder, and even though one of them had confessed, the other (Brady) was still convicted because the confession was not disclosed. The case went all the way up to the US Supreme Court where it was ruled a constitutional violation (Fifth/Fourteenth Amendments), establishing the rule thereafter. You old fool!Sound: Objection  Sound: Gallery  Sound: Gavel x 3  Sound: Whack  Er... erm... Ms. Hart!Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Objection Music: Pressing Pursuit - Cornered There's still one aspect of the Brady Rule that we have to apply here - proving that the missing evidence is actually beneficial to our case.  Sound: Whack  The witness will show the enlargement to the court. Here it is. Ah. Some of you spotted this one in the prologue. Hmm. We still cannot see who is firing in this. Regardless, I'll accept this as evidence. Sound: Select Jingle The new enlarged photo replaces the prior version in our court record. Sound: Fwa-Shing 2 Happy now, Mr. Wright? Hmm... (There has to be something!)   And little good it has done any of us! Looks like Karma knows how to bluff, too. But he's not fooling us here. Hmm... I suppose this means that the cross-examination... Is over! Obviously!Sound: Gavel Music: Silence   And none too soon. That was a flagrant waste of my time. Mr. von Karma, do you have anything to add? If you've been reading the alternate timelines, this scene is similar to if we had given up and done nothing earlier... Decisive evidence. A decisive witness. What else could possibly be required?Music: Suspense Nothing, of course. (Wait... it's not supposed to go like this!)  Partial guilt trap here; the right choice is obvious, though we get an additional option for presenting other evidence instead. Music: Silence Sound: Desk Slam Your Honor! Sound: Drama Pound quote:Presenting evidence seems like it could work here, but it's just a bit too soon... quote:Waiting is still a trap - we're barely staving off a guilty verdict, and need to actively avoid it. Music: Pressing Pursuit - Cornered - Variation W-what might that be? Sound: Gallery I'm not sure why we get a crowd reaction here, we haven't actually done the big reveal yet. Sound: Gavel Mr. Wright... We've got a penalty attached to this next choice, but at least it's not an instant game-over... (Okay... here goes nothing!)   Hard to vote for where to click in the photo, but I'll do something a little different here. I overlaid a grid on the photo, and filtered out the uninteresting squares. So tell me, which grid square shows what's strange about this photo?

I was really curious how you would put this mecha ic up to a vote, but the grid system works pretty well. You figure out pretty quicly in these games that "wait and see" is almost always an instant fail, though this update is interesting in that it's one of the few times "Present evidence" isn't the right call. mr_stibbons fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Apr 25, 2023 |

A1 and A6. Neither the shooter nor the victim has eyeballs. Edgeworth, as you can plainly see, has eyeballs. Ergo, Edgeworth was not in that boat!

Part 92: Episode 4, Day 2, Trial: Sinister Shot Well, maybe that one was a little easy.  Notice the shooter's hand? It's not really strange by itself, but we'll get to pair it up with something else in a moment...  Sound: Desk Slam Here, Your Honor! The shooter...? I'm not sure I understand. What about the shooter is strange? The hand...?Sound: Realization quote:Pointing anywhere on the shooter other than the hand just asks us to try again: quote:Anywhere else in the photo, and we take a penalty... That hand directly contradicts another piece of evidence! Let me show you. I'll show you the evidence that left hand contradicts! Did you spot the left-right contradiction?  The evidence is clear. However!Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Desk Slam Ergo! Music: Silence  Sound: Objection quote:The game takes mercy on us after a punishing previous update; getting this one wrong doesn't incur a penalty.  Sound: Gallery Now that's how you get the crowd going. Sound: Gavel x 3 The crowd was so rowdy this time we had to cut-fade to later!  I would like to reconvene this court of law! Mr. Wright. Yes, Your Honor. You have given us definitive proof today. Not guilty, let's all go home! However... This leaves us with a rather large problem.Sound: Realization  Sound: Shock 2 Weird note, but the normal blip sound effect as each character is typed is missing from that line for some reason. Music: Suspense Precisely! The pistol was fired three times. Lotta Hart heard two gunshots. The victim was struck by only one bullet. I have no idea how to tie that all together yet. Is Edgeworth one of these two individuals? Is the victim? Do we have another twist like episode, where the man holding the gun is really the victim? Sound: Fwa-Shing 2  I'm going to go with what Edgeworth said earlier - he said that it seemed like the man had shot himself!  Music: Silence Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Realization quote:Ms. Hart is a somewhat reasonable option, as the only other person on the scene. Let's accuse her. quote:Larry as the murderer in the final episode after being the defendant in the first episode is still my favorite theory, as unlikely as it seems to be.

I thought of a goofy way the victim might have shot himself - a deflection off of Edgeworth's attorney badge! (If I spout out enough crazy theories, one of them might end up being right!) Sound: Gavel Order! Order! Yes, Your Honor. I can think of no other explanation. Hmm... I'm so very, very sorry, Mr. Wright. Wh-what!?Sound: Whack  The... distance? Sound: Realization A meter! Th-that's three feet!Sound: Realization Thank you for translating that for us dumb Americans. There is no way it could have been suicide! Sound: Gallery Poor Lotta has been standing up there for weeks, let's wrap this up already. Sound: Gavel x 3 Order! Order! Sound: Whack Of course! I had already considered the possibility of suicide, you see. Sound: Select Jingle Oh look, another conveniently-updated autopsy report. We lost the detail about getting shot by a single bullet; maybe that won't end up mattering after all. Hmm... I see.Music: Silence Sound: Gavel Very well, allow me to state my opinion.We have ourselves a puzzling problem here.  However! We've collectively proven that the killer both was and was not Edgeworth. Unfortunately ties don't go to the defense in this court. This is a condundrum. Lucky for us, trials are allowed up to three days so the judge graciously is going to allow us the entire afternoon to get to the bottom of this mystery. The court orders the defense and the prosecution to further investigate this matter. Understood? Yes, Your Honor. ...Karma is so outraged he can't even acknowledge that he has to actually do some work.  Sound: Gavel  Time for our post-game pep talk. Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture Whew, that was a close one. ... Hey! Don't you have anything to say!? Well, yeah, but... What happened out there on that lake, anyway!? If he didn't commit suicide, then who...? The shooter was about a meter away, too!And how did your prints get on the drat murder weapon!? You're lucky the shooter happened to be left-handed.  Sound: Stab  I did not kill him!Sound: Whack I was just kidding around. Hmph. Look... I'm going to go check on Maya.Oh, right, Maya. Are we going to have to go pick her up at the detention center?   Wright. What?Sound: Light Bulb Tell her something for me. What? ... ...Music: Silence ... Tell... Sound: Realization Ugh, that is not what you were going to say. While the prosecutors are saddled with combative witnesses, we're stuck with recalcitrant clients. That's all.Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture   I thought it might give me some ammunition for the trial tomorrow. Of course she didn't see the shooter... So the only part of her testimony that stood was the "bang" she heard. Sound: Select Jingle Aha! The mystery of the mismatched number of shots fired is back in play!  Music: Jingle - It Can't End Here  Well it was an interesting first day of trial, but as usual we're left with a lot of questions and very few answers. Let's see what we can dig up in our second day of investigation!

I think any generous interpetation of Lotta here is unwarranted, she lied and claimed she saw something for attention and knew it. So perjury you would think would be a pretty massive terrible thing, but how could you prove that a witness thought they saw something vs what they actually saw? The mind can also just plain fabricate evidence for itself at times though so even if it is a blatant falsehood compared to the facts, can you actually charge someone with perjury for saying they saw something that simply could not have been observed? In this specific case the witness outright WITHDREW her version of what she thought she saw and claimed to not see poo poo, I feel that would be the same as admitting she lied, as compared to just sticking with her story knowing it is not like someone can prove beyond a reasonable doubt she knowingly lied.

Part 93: Episode 4, Day 2, Investigation: Consequences Oh poo poo, Maya really is at the detention center.  Wait, if Maya is here, how are we going to talk to Edgeworth? I'm pretty sure half the mystery of this case is due to Edgeworth not talking to us. Which one of the two figures on the boat was he? Was the other person the victim, or the killer?  Hey! Nick, it's you!Sound: Light Bulb  You know, since it turned out Lotta was making it all up anyway, it kind of seems like Maya was right to have an outburst when she did. Maybe they'll go easy on her. It's a relief... Hey. Why'd you do that, anyway? ... I don't know.  I know I'm not the lawyer my sister was... ... I'm sorry. Well, you did save the trial...  O... Okay.Music: Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters Theme  I guess it can't be all bad if we're not hearing the elegy here.  Let's fill Maya in on everything that happened by shoving all our evidence in her face.  It must be nice, Nick.  But, spirit mediums, well... I dunno, with your clothes, I bet at least some people would recognize you... I wonder if I'll ever be a proper medium...I look forward to some future game where Maya completes her training and changes outfits.  This picture is the only real new information for Maya.  Uh huh. Huh... Well, she totally missed the point.  My... mother. ... (No... I'm pretty sure it was the wrong thing to do.) Eh, she'll be fine. But let's talk about something she's more excited about, like Gourdy.  I want to see Gourdy, too!Sound: Light Bulb If he really exists.  (Even if there is a monster in that lake, fishing poles sound like a BAD idea...)Now why would "fishing poles" be highlighted? Are we really going to go fishing for Gourdy later?   Hey, I'm surprised you remembered that! Karma is the final stage of Edgeworth's transformation from villain to sympathetic character, giving us someone even more smug and dickish to hate.  I'm... not really sure.That bullet does look pretty smooth, actually.   Yes... the prints from his right hand. But they must have gotten on there at some time other than the shooting. What? Really!?Sound: Light Bulb (The shooter used his left hand, after all...)Which... we never told Maya. I guess she has to figure it out from the photo herself.  Everything else gets a generic reaction: Sorry... I'm fresh out of ideas. Well, that's all for evidence. Let's chat. Have you been questioned yet? No... not yet. Detective Gumshoe was here just now. Also seeing as how she saved Edgeworth for him. At least she'll get out of here soon. Whew... Bail money? I'm surprised we can even afford food. You can pay for me, okay? Huh? How much? (Why do I picture giant bales of money every time I hear the word "bail"?)Eh, weak pun.  Any luck with Mia...? Phoenix this girl just put herself in jail to save your case, maybe ease up on the asking after Mia for a minute? I tried... I really did! I don't know what to do... ... (Hmm... she sounds like she really did do her best.) (I should check and see if there are any waterfalls in the local area...) Uh, she's dead, so... Well I guess we have our first task for the day - locate a waterfall?  I guess we just run around a bit and look for clues? Music: Silence  ... Right... I have to get Maya out of that detention cell soon! Nothing new to see at our office, let's visit Grossberg again.  Apparently, Mr. Grossberg is on vacation today. Guess we won't need anything here today.  Examining the offices reveals mostly the same dialogue, but here...  I feel kind of bad for him... Back to the office so we can head to the police station and track down Gumshoe.  (Detective Gumshoe's not here...) Huh? Oh, really?Sound: Light Bulb  He's a live wire that one. (Not following protocol...?)Sound: Realization (I bet he wouldn't help them build the case against Edgeworth...) Our friend is back to his usual antics today. Let's see what he's training on now. That must be one of the detectives. He's mumbling something to himself. "...You have every reason to live!" ... He must be doing image training for talking down a potential suicide.This guy must've saved all his training for the year for the last week.  The chief is up to something new today, too. This must be the chief of detectives here. He's glued to his computer screen.  Checkmate!? I don't believe it!Sound: Whoops (He must be playing chess on the computer...) Well, back to the lake we go, I guess.   I wonder if Detective Gumshoe is here today? Without Maya around, some of our examination produces different results. I feel winter's chill from the bare leaf trees today... It's quite pretty when the cherry trees along the lakeside blossom in spring. Today... it's just cold. The sign says "Gourd Lake Nature Park." This place is full of families picnicking on the weekend.  Nothing at the entrance, let's head in deeper.  Haven't seen Larry around today at all.   Still nothing, maybe the boat rental shop will be open today?  (Looks like the boat rental shop is closed today, too.)Bah, figures.  A small boat rental shop. Doesn't look like anyone is around. Are we going to have to wait until the final day to look around here?  There are some boats floating at the dock. The murder took place in a boat from this dock... I guess that makes sense, but how are we supposed to investigate it now? Indeed, there's space for one more boat at the dock. We better find something at Lotta's campsite because this day is a total bust so far.   Our view auto-slides, and Detective Gumshoe is revealed! Music: Dick Gumshoe - Detective Gumshoe, Pal Hey, Detective Gumshoe!Sound: Light Bulb  Hey, pal!  ... Yes? What about the trial?  Though you did save Mr. Edgeworth, I guess...We'll ignore the alternate timelines where we fell for the guilt traps.  How about some information? Er... thanks. Most of this area has new examine dialogue now that we know a bit more about the place and the person staying here. I don't think Lotta takes very good care of her SUV. It's covered with dents.  I wonder why she brought a camping cooker with her? There's a convenience store right up the street... That's a good point; why is she camping here at all? To make sure no one makes off with her camera I guess?  The only other item of interest is, of course, the camera setup. Lotta's camera is staring out at the lake, as usual. I hope she doesn't leave it out here to get stolen. Let's play the evidence game with Gumshoe.   You can be proud of yourself when you get Mr. Edgeworth declared innocent, pal!Our badge is never useful as actual evidence but it's been fun to wave around during investigations this episode.    Claiming she was a witness to a murder and all... Still, if it weren't for her photograph, Mr. Edgeworth wouldn't have made it today. Oh, huh, really?Sound: Light Bulb (Umm... you were at the trial, weren't you, Detective?)Maybe he couldn't bear to watch, and left after he was done testifying.  Robert Hammond... He's the one who got the sole suspect off the hook. Everyone's free with information about the victim now I guess.    But Edgeworth has admitted he was on the boat.drat, Phoenix, don't be telling the police that confidential information.  He seemed fine in court today...Was the gun firing blanks? Was the victim even on the boat?  Maybe we should be less logical and more supportive here.  Details, pal, details!Sound: Whack Whose side are you on, anyway? (All I'm saying is we have to respect the evidence...) Sorry to disappoint you, pal. I'm drawing a blank.That's his generic "don't care" reaction, if you couldn't tell.  Skipping ahead...  From a meter away... so it would have to have been from someone else on the boat. Hmm... What do you make of this, Detective Gumshoe? Sound: Light Bulb Er... right. (Since when do lawyers have to do detectives' work for them!?)Sound: Whack We could be like most defense attorneys and just lose every case I guess.   My best guess is he picked up the gun after the other person in the boat fell out. Huh? How should I know!? Now, she heard two gunshots, right? But wait... Look at the Court Record!I imaigne Phoenix bringing up a floating screen and turning it to show Gumshoe here.  What!? How's that possible!?Sound: Whack Where was the third shot fired? I wonder... I've been suspicious of the timing of this whole thing from the beginning. I think the killer shot Hammond some time earlier on the 24th, maybe even somewhere not on the lake so Lotta didn't get a picture (maybe even before she was set up), and then the body was dumped out in the lake between then and when Edgeworth showed up. And Lotta's pictures are of the killer firing the murder weapon (with blank bullets) at Edgeworth, then falling back into the lake himself. Or maybe Edgeworth fell back into the water; I don't think that fits what we saw in the prologue, though. It would be nice if he would tell us what actually happened out there, and why he was out on that boat in the first place.  Gumshoe was surprisingly helpful talking over our evidence with us, let's see what else he has to say. Detective Gumshoe? Any idea what strategy von Karma is planning for tomorrow? The original witness, as it were. Another witness!? Oh, right, he said something about that in the trial today...Sound: Realization Music: Silence  Sound: Realization Okay, that one line was not really worthy of a flashback. Music: Dick Gumshoe - Detective Gumshoe, Pal  Er... who was it? S... sorry, pal. (Right...)If this witness is testifying on just the second day of the trial, they probably aren't the killer. So we'll be out to poke holes in their story while prying more helpful information out of them again.  Oh, right... I wanted to ask you something about Edgeworth. What's up? Is he afraid of earthquakes? I never heard anything about that before. ... But there's one thing that's clear as day... Him hating crime the way he does... And him becoming a prosecutor... And him being scared of earthquakes... Sound: Realization The DL-6 Incident? Yep, that's the one. He still feels the pain now, you can see it in his eyes. Let's just get what we came here for. I wanted to talk to you about Maya Fey... Huh? She's not out on bail yet? That's strange. Man... Seeing her getting dragged out by the bailiff... I'll be honest with you, pal. I shed a tear or two. Really!? (Cold-as-ice Edgeworth!?) Once we've cleared all of Gumshoe's topics, he takes off.  I'm going to head back to the station. Thank you. Oh, wait!Sound: Light Bulb Umm... I was wondering, how much is bail going to be? Don't worry about that. Sound: Realization What? Edgeworth...? Didn't I tell you? He's grateful to her for what she did. Music: Silence And he's off. (Hmm...) If he's more comfortable expressing appreciation with cash, then we might be in good shape in a couple days!  I made a quick pass everywhere else to see if anything had changed, but there's nothing to do until we go pick up Maya. So we'll go do that next!

Poor Maya. Clearly the biggest troublemaker in her family.

Are you writing the commentary notes up as you play the game, rather than doing a recording session and then doing a writeup afterwards?

You'd think defending the Steel Samurai himself would have landed Wright some money to make rent. I'm not sure if they imply that he takes on other cases to keep the lights on between the major ones or not though.

A little of both; I try to capture my live impressions when they're important/relevant. The full writeup is afterward though.

Maybe he had some other cases that settled out of court? I thought there was another line about him not really ever having any though. Maybe he makes some cash on the side as a food delivery driver on his bicycle.
