It's especially bullshit because that's evidence. He's either accusing the police or himself of manipulating it, since from his testimony nobody entered the apartment after the murder.

Cerebral Bore posted:Edgeworth is great. Just look at that dismissive headshake, it's so drat condescending. There are certain animations that beat Edgeworth in my opinion (I'm thinking about one from the 2-4 culprit and one from the Investigations 2 - 5 culprit) but if you consider the full suite Edge beats everyone hands down. He's just so expressive.

We're still in easy mode right now. Georgia has a law against running to the circus or is "apprentice" meant to mean, "give your son as an apprentice" and not "take as an apprentice"?

Night10194 posted:Well I mean when you're bearing false witness in Japanifornia, you kind of expect it to go easily. What with, you know, the prosecutor spotting every contradiction in your big whooper beforehand and improving your lies for you the day before court.* And "please demonstrate that the evidence wasn't tampered with while in police custody" is still a bit too much on the nose. *I don't think it's ever stated outright but it's heavily implied

Basically, this is allegedly an inquisitorial system where the prosecution is allowed to play it up like the worst parody of an adversarial one. Which makes sense, since this is a parody of Japan's hosed up tribunals. By the way, I recall someone in the last LP thread mentioning a story about how the Japanese police didn't make a serial killer stand trial for quite a while because while they had overwhelming proof, the dude simply wouldn't confess and they feared that without a confession he'd get declared not guilty at trial. Am I misremembering and/or anyone still has the links to the story?

Night10194 posted:Gumshoe with the hero save. *removed* and apologies Hobgoblin2099 posted: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. Isn't the judge always the same because the original GBA game had no more space on the cart to fit more sprites in? (and now we wouldn't want it any other way) I guess an additional background occupies less space than 4 one-shot sprites. Omobono fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jun 22, 2016 |

Night10194 posted:I mean, it's clear what Edgeworth is doing. Miles isn't defending the innocent; he has the guilty right in front of him and he can tell it's her. So he's going after her. Except it's not the way things are done in Japanifornia. Last case, anyone with half a brain could tell Redd White was the culprit two sentences in his testimony. And yet Edgeworth saved the rear end in a top hat before the Mia ex machina. Once you drag a person into a trial, the Japanifornian prosecutor's duty is to grab, forge, cajole and fix a guilty verdict, come hell or high water. The mere factual innocence of the accused does not matter at that point. E: I mean, it is already a demonstrated fact that Powers could not have murdered Hammer, because we have photographic evidence of the victim going to studio 2 just before the monkey head fell, with Powers on the wrong side of the head. And yet if we can't prove Vasquez did it Powers is going to swing. Omobono fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Jun 29, 2016 |

One thing I thought reading the case again: I get the feeling Oldbag realized what transpired when we showed her proof that Hammer had drugged WP. What charges is Dee going to get now (ignoring for a moment the hosed up Japanifornian legal system)? This is at most manslaughter, there's enough evidence that Hammer was out for her blood, so what's next? I guess perjury and tampering with evidence.

Gumshoe is like a lost puppy here. You can basically see his spirit rising when he spots Nick, thinking Edgeworth has now a lawyer.Night10194 posted:That shot of Edgeworth with the gun in his hand is the most soap opera image this game has put out yet. Murder was in the night between Christmas Eve and Christmas. That's like double soap opera.

Falconer posted:So the person firing the gun is holding it with their left hand, but the picture of Edgeworth with the gun shows him holding it with his right hand. Is Edgey ambidextrous? It's not like the cops have access to the 4th wall video of the murder. It would have simplified poo poo massively. Why is "to effect marriage" included in that New Orleans law? I do like the final phrase though. "Yes, this law technically outlaws doctors and churches, have a cookie and gently caress off"
