Part 163: Episode 5, Final Day, Trial Latter 2: Phase Three

This picture is the key, as I explained when we first got it. (Interesting note: We did get a fourth page of evidence when we got that picture.)

And what exactly is this supposed to be...?
^{Sound: Realization}

This is the picture Ms. Skye took.

Take a good look at it.

^{Sound: Wipe}

Yes... His shirt is showing underneath.
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

Oh! But that piece of cloth...
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

^{Sound: Wipe}

Nothing else will work here:

Music: Silence

Oh ho ho ho!
^{Sound: Damage 2 + Clapping}
^{Sound: Whack}

It's fun watching you squirm, Wrighto!
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

This piece of evidence does indeed seem to

contradict something...

Your outward appearance of mental sanity!!!
^{Sound: Whack}
^{Sound: Damage 2}

The judge is getting salty with that penalty.

Music: Suspense

(What am I doing!?)
^{Sound: Stab}

(If this cloth was cut from Prosecutor Marshall's vest after he died...)

(Then something's definitely not right about it!)

It's too late to turn back now.

You're the only one who can put an end to this, Wright!

(Chief Gant, your tyrannical reign ends here!)

Behold! The piece of evidence that contradicts this cloth!

And we're back at the evidence list!

Music: Silence

Since Ema Skye's fingerprints are on this cloth,

there's no doubt that she shoved the prosecutor aside!

^{Sound: Desk Slam}

However!

^{Sound: Drama Pound}
^{Sound: Objection}

Music: Pressing Pursuit - Cornered

No! Th-this is nonsense!
^{Sound: Stab}

Now then, Chief Gant.

Let me ask you something.

Prosecutor Marshall was not impaled when he was shoved aside.

If so, then tell me.

Who could it have been?

Who could have arrived at the scene before Ms. Lana Skye,

^{Sound: Objection}

Hnnngngghgghh...

^{Sound: Realization}

A jar that they then broke on purpose, to leave behind a clue,

^{Sound: Desk Slam}

^{Sound: Objection}

...

Remember what you admitted only moments ago?

Ironic, isn't it?

Through the very act of creating "insurance,"

Music: Silence

^{Sound: Damage 2 + Drama Pound}

^{Sound: Damage 2}
^{Sound: Objection}
^{Sound: Desk Slam}
^{Sound: Drama Pound}

Phase 3 complete!

(It's finally all over...)

^{Sound: Drama Pound}

^{Sound: Shock 2 x 3}

^{Sound: Wipe}

^{Sound: Drama Pound}

One last gasp for Gant? What an interesting new sprite. Reminds me a lot of our first real villain, when we had him on the ropes:

Heh...

Heh heh heh!

Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho!
^{Sound: Damage 2 + Clapping}

Music: Pressing Pursuit - Cornered - Variation

^{Sound: Damage 2}
^{Sound: Whack}

It feels a lot like Redd White's last gasp did, too. I don't think we'll have to rely on ghost-Mia reading out a list of names for this one, though.

^{Sound: Whack x 2}

What do you mean, you "refute" his allegations?
^{Sound: Realization}

^{Sound: Objection}

^{Sound: Gallery}

^{Sound: Gavel}

Order! Order!

What nonsense is this!?
^{Sound: Whack}

Another parallel to Mia's murder, with us stealing the wiretap out of Redd White's hotel room drawer. No one was particularly concerned about how we got that one back then.

Remember, Udgey?

^{Sound: Wipe}

Oh look, another unnecessary flashback to something that happened just a few minutes ago.

You do have some conclusive evidence, don't you?
^{Sound: Drama Pound}

...

^{Sound: Realization}

Ah well, at least it was short this time. So the argument is because we refused to present it initially, we can't use it later? Seems like another conveniently made-up rule...

Well, that's true...
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

The defense did refuse to present evidence!

^{Sound: Objection}

Funny how you had no problem with it being illegal evidence when you thought it would prove that Ema was the killer.

But that's not fair...!
^{Sound: Stab 2}

^{Sound: Whack x 2}

Music: Silence

It looks like the last laugh's on you, son!
^{Sound: Objection}

^{Sound: Gallery}

^{Sound: Gavel}

I'm afraid Mr. Gant's claim is legally correct.

Well, Mr. Edgeworth?

There's an interesting disinction being made here. Are we trying to convict Gant here? I thought we were more just proving that someone else did it to get our own client off the hook, but maybe these trials have been resulting in direct convictions of the actual killers rather than them getting their own trials? Or is the point that if we can't use the evidence to convict Gant in his own trial, we can't use it to prove Lana's innocence in this trial?

assuming, of course, that the evidence is indeed illegal.
^{Sound: Realization}

Hmm?

Well, Mr. Wright?

...

Music: Suspense

(It seems... at last...)

^{Sound: Wipe}

Sure, this was your plan all along...

Mr. Wright.

Do you admit to it?

Tricky wording here. We did conceal the cloth on purpose, but did we do so illegally? I don't think so.

I admit I refused to present it at one point.

quote:

If we say "I did" instead...

(No! If I admit to that...)

(all my planning will have been for nothing!)
^{Sound: Stab}

It seems...

Mr. Wright didn't understand the implication of his conduct.
^{Sound: Damage 2}

There's that penalty.

If you're going to change your position,

this is your only chance, Wright!

(He's right...)

I admit I refused to present it at one point.

From there, we continue the same as the other option, which just skips the penalty and the scene associated with it.
