I kind of question Maya's personality a little. I mean, I suppose Nick needs a reason to grow up, but at the same time when he's just this wet-behind-the-ears attorney giving him a sidekick even more excitable doesn't seem like much of a balancing factor.

Man, Studio 2 does not look at all like a murder scene.

...so, someone with a better grasp of Japanifornian law than me is going to have to explain something. Assuming Sal or Dee actually did murder Jack, wouldn't the safest thing to do be to go into hiding somewhere until the trial ran its course? I suppose that might be suspicious, but it's not like the justice system is going to try multiple people for the same crime. ...are they?

She blackmailed him, he didn't really like that, so he drugged the defendant and dressed like him, to frame him for her murder. But she somehow turned that around. Showing the court the picture will probably reveal all of that.

If she had gone to a lawyer rather than trying to cover everything up, she might have spun it as self defense.

Maybe it even was self-defense. But here's the problem - what happens to Global Studios? The only valuable asset in their back catalog is a murderer and it'll probably come out that they've been operating by blackmail?

Whereas if the Steel Samurai done it, oh well, some Z-grade nobody got jealous.

Hmmm... My guess is that the man shot himself in front of Edgeworth as an extreme way of framing him. Why he would go to such an extreme I don't know, but it would probably be related to how Edgeworth "always get's a guilty verdict". Like, Edgeworth got a family member into jail/executed or something.

Well, we did just wrap up a case where he made someone with mob ties look bad in court. Embarrassment is grounds for (framing someone for) murder, right?

I'll tell you this much, von Karma sure as hell wasn't planning for a parrot in the courtroom.

He's certainly not going to pull out a bag of saltines from under the prosecutor's bench or anything.

...would he actually kill the parrot to shut it up? I mean, it's not murder.
