...Although, even as I type that, I'm pretty sure that in a lot of places there would be no problem with the prosecutor doing that, just as long as it's not the defence. Now I'm bummed out.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the intended feeling the writers meant to convey.

This was the only typo here, aside from you putting "drog" instead of frog in the quote.

And that's all. Looking forward to the next update. :)

Edgeworth is here. :smug: levels are rising rapidly.

He's also a lot more cutthroat than Payne was, so I can see why they didn't want this to be the tutorial case.

Much like Phoenix has those exclamation points that get removed when he makes dumb remarks, Gumshoe has a similar meter for his salary.

And unfortunately for him, witness testimony requires him to speak.

No personal attacks against the prosecution. But the prosecution is perfectly able to make personal attacks against the defense attorney and the victim of the case.

And "please demonstrate that the evidence wasn't tampered with while in police custody" is still a bit too much on the nose.

I think in this case it's more along the lines of "The killer could have tampered with the clock after the murder" or something. Though, that would raise the question of why the clockwork wasn't found on Maya or at the scene of the crime.

Edgeworth gets a lot of great lines, and we've only begun to scratch the surface. :allears:

: Absolutely!
: Even if that was the case, (which it's not) you still have to prove one thing! Did the victim ever say that the weapon was a lcock on the phone?

I find it interesting that you are seemingly unable to bring up such questions as "Why would the defendant attack her own sister?", "How could she reach the victim's head when she is shorter than the victim?", "Why did she hang around after the deed was done instead of getting away?".

And that would be where Edgeworth would object and bullshit some semi-plausible hypothetical explanation that the Judge would basically handwave as making sense.

I mean, we have already seen absolute proof of the prosecution coaching a witness with the Bellhop, which is something I really wish we could call him out on.

"Your Honor, the presence of Miss May's consort had no bearing on this case! As such, I had him omit the information from his testimony."

"Hmm, I see."

And that's basically all that would happen. :v:

So... Edgeworth knows his own case is full of poo poo and is hoping not to get called on it? Or is he only doing as much prep as Phoenix?

Basically, whereas Phoenix comes up with arguments on the fly and has to contend with people poking the holes that arise in them, Edgeworth has time to ponder over his case ahead of time and attempt to cover those holes up. Notice that he didn't even want to allow the bellboy onto the stand at first.

Well, Lady Killer isn't an incorrect way of describing Redd White, Mr. Bellboy. :v:

I do like the branching scenes with April May, though. Her mentioning being afraid is probably the closest she comes to dropping her silly persona.

I like Redd White's English name more than the Japanese one, honestly.

That being said, his word-usage is very confusizzling.

I hope when the anime gets to this point they have Phoenix guess Grossberg and White are lovers. Who doesn't pick that option? :allears:

Unfortunately, Grossberg was forthcoming about the information instead of Phoenix needing to dig.

But, on the other hand, we did get Redd White at his finest. :allears:

Ah, I forgot how magical Redd White on the stand was. Though, they don't actually have any evidence implicating Phoenix of the crime, in hindsight.

Did you mean to put "te ti" at the end of your update?

The amazing thing here is that Redd White takes the stand and, despite all his power, immediately implicates himself, accidentally gives a slip of the tongue that lets everyone know he was the killer, and comes close to breaking down less than a few minutes into the trial.

I feel like Edgeworth (and the legal system as a whole) operate under the assumption that you wouldn't be accused of you weren't doing something suspicious.

Edgeworth just doesn't let up in this case. Shame that it's not Phoenix that beats him, but Mia.

Maya just takes on Mia's body type. She doesn't have her sister's beauty mark either, I believe.

Also, Maya probably needs to let her clothing out a little to accommodate her older sister.

I know this is being played as a joke, but how many people in Japanifornia get accused of murder and have to deal with people saying stuff like this to them all the time?

Maybe that's why Phoenix can't get any work at the moment? :ohdear:

I think someone in the last thread pointed out that the theme of this case is how a fan reacts to their idol. Someone better suited to write up an analysis could probably handle all the fine details, but you have things like Maya's initial reaction to Powers, Cody testifying and being unable to cope with the Steel Samurai losing, Oldbag's devotion to Hammer until she finds out what he did, etc.

The best part of Vasquez's goons is that they're literally part of the scenery. Given that they have no lines, I'm inclined to believe that she just put up a movie studio prop while Phoenix and Maya weren't looking and tried to threaten them with it.
