: So, you turned on the radio?
![](6-Larry_Nervous.png)
: Right!
![](7-Larry_Sad.png)
: I just wanted to hear someone's voice, y'know? You don't know what it's like out there, alone, on Christmas Eve! Alone!
![](8-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(I shouldn't have said anything...)
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Do you by any chance remember the name of the program you were listening to?
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: This has nothing to do with the case, Your Honor!
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: Objection sustained. The witness was listening to the radio. That is all we need to know.
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: Tell us, Mr. Butz, how loud was your radio set to that night?
![](8-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
: Real "booming" loud?
![](6-Larry_Nervous.png)
: Yeah, y'know.
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: And you had headphones on?
![](15-Larry_Cocky.png)
: Yup.
![](16-Judge_Thinking.png)
: I wouldn't think you could hear anything going on outside at all...
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Can you prove that...?
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: No... no, of course you can't.
![](19-Larry_Thinking.png)
: Nah, I can't prove it. But I remember that moment real clear.
![](6-Larry_Nervous.png)
: I mean, while I was talking about it, it came back real clear to me, y'know?
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: What did he say?
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Mr. Wright! Please cease these pointless questions!
![](21-Manfred_Normal.png)
: What possible good could knowing what a radio DJ said do us!?
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: Indeed, Mr. von Karma has a point.
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Hm... right. I didn't really have a deep reason for asking, now that I think about it.)
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Understood, Your Honor. I withdraw my question.
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: Continue your examination of the witness, then.
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
:
(This is getting nowhere...)
Which brings us to the loop.
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(This is the most ludicrous testimony I've ever heard. But there is one gleaming ray of hope in there!)
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
:
(I've got to press it until we get to the bottom of what happened!)
But if we take the other option...
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: We should care, Your Honor! Of course we should!
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Why?
![](8-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
: Uh.
![](27-Phoenix_Embarrassed.png)
: W-well, how do you know if we don't ask, hmm?
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: Fine, very well.
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: Mr. Butz, please testify to the court. What was the radio announcer saying when you heard the gunshot?
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: Are you sure?
![](15-Larry_Cocky.png)
: Course I am!
![](6-Larry_Nervous.png)
: She had this real sexy voice...
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Hmm... maybe von Karma was right. I'm not sure how that helped us at all.)
And we go back to the loop. Have you spotted the problem?
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Larry! Are you absolutely sure what you're saying is correct!?
![](15-Larry_Cocky.png)
: Huh? What's with the face? You look scary, dude.
![](6-Larry_Nervous.png)
: Hey, if you're trying to scare me, you better know I don't scare that easy!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Is something the matter, Mr. Wright?
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Your Honor!
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: Did you hear what the witness just said?
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Indeed... And...?
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: "Almost Christmas" means it wasn't Christmas! Do you realize what this means?
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: When he heard the gunshot, it was still
Christmas Eve!!!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: That would seem to be the case, yes...
![](34-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: But that contradicts the two testimonies we have heard so far, Your Honor! Both Ms. Hart and the old man said it was
after midnight when they heard the shots!
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: In other words... When they heard the gunshots, it was already
Christmas!!!
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: What does this mean? The two prior witnesses heard gunshots
after midnight. However, this witness says he heard a gunshot
before midnight...
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Judge. The answer is quite simple.
![](39-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: The current witness is plainly mistaken. Just look at him! Suspicious!
![](40-Larry_Angry.png)
: Wh-whaaat!?
![](16-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: Well, Mr. Wright?
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Well...
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: I guess, it had to have been Larry's mistake.
![](21-Manfred_Normal.png)
: Hah!
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: Very well.
![](40-Larry_Angry.png)
: W-w-waaaaait!
![](15-Larry_Cocky.png)
: I come up here, I give you a riveting testimony... And you laugh it off as some kinda mistake!?
![](40-Larry_Angry.png)
: What about me!?
![](15-Larry_Cocky.png)
: How can you call yourself a friend, Nick? How!?
![](8-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
: ...
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: Well, Mr. Wright?
This time, let's not piss Larry off.
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Larry's not mistaken, Your Honor!
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: He heard that gunshot before midnight!
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: ...
![](45-Manfred_Smug.png)
: Intriguing. I'm assuming you have evidence for this wild claim?
Have you spotted it?
![](34-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: This was taken by our witness yesterday, Ms. Lotta Hart, with her automatic camera. The timestamp on the photo reads "December 24, 11:50 PM."
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Oh yeah? Hmm? But, there's nothing on the lake in this picture.
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Your Honor. The real issue here is not why nothing is shown in this photograph.
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: It is why this photograph exists at all!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: What do you mean?
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Your Honor... This photograph was taken by an automatic camera.
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Ahah!
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Correct! There was a
loud noise on the lake at 11:50 PM.
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: In other words...
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: When Larry heard that gunshot, it was most definitely
Christmas Eve!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Indeed, it would seem that is the case!
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: Then... where does that leave us? Ms. Hart testified that she heard the gunshots
after midnight.
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Are you claiming she was mistaken?
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Not at all, Your Honor.
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Your Honor!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Why would this be...?
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Don't be fooled, Judge!
![](21-Manfred_Normal.png)
: That camera was set to respond to "
loud noises"!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Yes?
![](21-Manfred_Normal.png)
: There is no proof that the "loud noise" at 11:50 was a gunshot!
![](39-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: Why, the witness could have sneezed, triggering the camera!
![](40-Larry_Angry.png)
: H-hey, my nose was clear that night, man! Clear!
![](16-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: Well, Mr. Wright? There's no turning back now. Can you prove that the "loud noise" at 11:50 PM was indeed a gunshot?
But what is it?
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: The... murder weapon?
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Something about this pistol was bothering me, Your Honor.
![](34-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: Both of the witnesses who testified yesterday heard
two gunshots. However, the murder weapon was fired
three times.
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: When, then, was the last shot fired?
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Only now have I realized the truth.
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: That third shot was the shot Larry heard just before midnight!
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order!
![](16-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: That would make sense of the evidence we've seen so far.
![](16-Judge_Thinking.png)
: ...
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: However... This leaves me wondering exactly what did happen that night on the lake.
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Exactly! If this is true, there were
two sets of gunshots, separated by
25 minutes! One at 11:50, another at 15 minutes after midnight!
![](39-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: Why, I ask you! Why!?
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(Uh oh, I'd better think of something quick!)
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(...)
![](5-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(Gunshots separated by 25 minutes...?)
![](63-Maya_Mad.png)
: Wh-what's wrong, Nick!?
![](64-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: I have it! I have it!
![](65-Maya_Thoughtful.png)
: Huh?
![](64-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Remember the case with the Steel Samurai!?
![](66-Maya_Hopeful.png)
: Huh? Yeah, of course I remember...
![](64-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: The murderer in this case had the same idea as the murderer in that case!
![](65-Maya_Thoughtful.png)
: What do you mean?
![](64-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Maya!
![](63-Maya_Mad.png)
: Yes!?
![](64-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: If we don't figure this out now, we'll never overturn Edgeworth's guilty verdict! I've got a hunch, and I'm going to run with it...
![](67-Maya_Exasperated.png)
: Right! I mean... is this safe?
![](64-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Safe? We've already gotten a guilty verdict! We have nothing to lose!
![](67-Maya_Exasperated.png)
: ...
![](64-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: You just watch and let me know if I say anything that sounds fishy, okay?
![](63-Maya_Mad.png)
: Right, Nick!
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Your Honor!
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: Y-yes, Mr. Wright?
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: The testimony just now has cleared up this entire case!
![](13-Judge_Angry.png)
: What do you mean, Mr. Wright!?
![](45-Manfred_Smug.png)
: Tsk tsk tsk... So, you've finally realized the truth? There can be no other murderer here than Miles Edgeworth himself.
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Wrong, von Karma!
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: A man was shot that night, but it wasn't Edgeworth who did the shooting!
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: Listen, rookie. Take a deep breath, and consider the facts. At the time of the murder, one boat was on that lake.
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: There was a gunshot fired on that boat, and Robert Hammond fell into the lake. The distance of the shooting was one meter. It couldn't have been suicide! Well?
![](39-Manfred_Annoyed.png)
: The guilty party has to be the other man on that boat!
![](12-Judge_Normal.png)
: I admit, it is hard to imagine any other possibility.
![](18-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Yes...
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: But this assumes that the victim was shot at
15 minutes after midnight.
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: ... What do you mean by that, Mr. Wright?
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: The timestamp on the photo says
00:15.
![](29-Phoenix_Point.png)
: But Larry heard a gunshot
25 minutes before that!
![](26-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Robert Hammond was killed then! 25 minutes before the shot on the lake!
(That's the only way that Edgeworth could be innocent!)
![](31-Judge_Shock.png)
: ...
![](11-Manfred_Impatient.png)
: ...
Next time: Trying to prove it.
