Case 5 - Rise From the AshesTrial (Day 2) - Part 4

: I have to conclude that you have a personal grudge against Ms. Lana Skye.
![](5-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: The witness is a former detective.
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Her testimony is unmarred by personal bias.
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: Well, who would have thought you would be my knight in shining armor, prosecutor? You who, together with
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: the chief prosecutor, kicked me out two years ago!
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Well, Ms. Starr... This is a fatal contradiction with your testimony...
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: How do you explain this?
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: Hmph!
![](11-Angel_Nasty.png)
: I don't know what you're talking about. Mess with me...
![](12-Angel_Angry.png)
: and I'll make you cough it ALL up!
![](13-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: Ahem. Let's look at the floor plans.
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: However, if that's true...
![](17-Angel_Hurt.png)
: ...!
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
: I believe you see what I'm getting at.
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: What is the meaning of this?
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
: It's simple, Your Honor. She's not coughing up lunch...
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: she's coughing up lies!!!
![](17-Angel_Hurt.png)
: Grrr!
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: That's quite a claim, Mr. Wright... perhaps you will allow me a question?
![](26-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Tell us exactly what lie this witness has told the court!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(Here's where the counter-attack begins! I can't afford to be get this wrong!)
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: She lied about what she saw! In other words,
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: she didn't see Ms. Skye using that emergency phone!
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: It does seem hard to imagine how she could have!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Very logical!
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: ...
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
:
(What's the matter, Starr? Cat got your lunchbox?)
![](30-Ema_Thoughtful.png)
: Um, Mr. Wright... I hate to bother you while you're celebrating your victory... But why would
![](31-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: Ms. Starr lie like that?
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Huh?
![](31-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: Why would she say that my sister had tried to use the phone, but failed?
![](30-Ema_Thoughtful.png)
: It doesn't make any sense! Why lie about something so insignificant?
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Oh...
(Dang, she's right!)
![](30-Ema_Thoughtful.png)
: I mean, maybe she really did see her try to use the emergency phone.
![](5-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: I see no room for doubt here.
![](34-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
: Ugh.
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(One... one more try!)
![](35-Edgeworth_Sly.png)
: Hmph. I see it in your eyes. You haven't learned your lesson, have you?
![](26-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Tell us exactly what lie this witness has told the court!
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: She lied about the order of events!
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: Ms. Skye used that emergency phone BEFORE the murder!
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: I-I see!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: I hadn't thought of that!
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: ...
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
:
(That took the wind out of her sails!)
![](30-Ema_Thoughtful.png)
: Um, Mr. Wright... I hate to bother you while you're celebrating your victory...
![](31-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: But... why would anyone use the emergency phone before the murder?
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Huh?
![](5-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: Just when you think he can't sink any lower, he amazes us. I applaud you, Mr. Wright.
![](34-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
: Ugh.
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(One... one more try!)
![](35-Edgeworth_Sly.png)
: Hmph. I see it in your eyes. You haven't learned your lesson, have you?
![](26-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Tell us exactly what lie this witness has told the court!
![](13-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: She tried to use the emergency phone... but it was out of order.
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: What is significant about this fact?
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Nothing. It would be pointless for her to lie about it!
![](42-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Pointless to lie... I see!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: The witness did actually see Ms. Skye using the emergency phone.
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: In other words...
![](44-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: A different location!?
![](26-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Now that's a pointless lie if I ever heard one!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Before you call my lie pointless...
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: at least let me tell it!
![](42-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Let me ask a question to our clever wordsmith, Mr. Wright.
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Just where was the witness
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: when she saw the crime!?
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(All the testimony we've heard until now points in one direction...)
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: This is the only place where she could have been.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: The security guard room?
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Indeed, the security room in the underground parking lot is well positioned...
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: Hmm... She would have been able to see the emergency phone from there.
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: But why there? There are many other places where she could have seen the phone?
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
: Not in this case, Your Honor.
![](13-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: I remember in your testimony, you said...
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
: You brought a lunch to your "boyfriend" in the security guard room, yes?
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Well, Ms. Starr?
![](17-Angel_Hurt.png)
: ... How many years have I been getting the better of men...? To think that the tables could be turned...
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: Today, a man has got the better of Angel Starr!
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Witness! What have you done!? You used to be a detective! You should know better!
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: I'm not turning back. The guilty will be punished.
![](11-Angel_Nasty.png)
: And I'll do what I must to make sure justice prevails.
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(The guilty... is she talking about Ms. Skye...?)
![](30-Ema_Thoughtful.png)
: Um, Mr. Wright? Doesn't this strike you as odd? Why did Ms. Starr lie?
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: It doesn't make sense!
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Huh?
![](54-Ema_Side.png)
: She could have just said she saw the crime from the security guard station. It wouldn't change anything!
![](5-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: Exactly!
![](44-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: That truth still stands!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: It "still stands"?
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
: I disagree, Mr. Edgeworth.
![](44-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: Wh-what!?
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: If a witness is found to be lying,
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: they're guilty of perjury. She knows this.
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: She wouldn't risk that without a good reason!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: So tell us what her reason was, Mr. Wright!
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: ...
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Huh? M-me?
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Who else!?
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: Mr. Wright! Let's review what we know!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Why, the angle at which she saw the crime occur would change!
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: The angle...?
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: What do you mean!?
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Uh, um, well...
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: The security guard station is on the second floor... and um...
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: She would have sort of a more 3-D view of the crime.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: And this is important... why?
![](61-Phoenix_Embarrassed.png)
: Um...
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: ...
![](61-Phoenix_Embarrassed.png)
: ...
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: Mr. Wright! Let's review what we know!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: It's a difference in lighting!
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Lighting...?
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: What does that mean!?
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Well, it means, uh...
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: See, the security guard station is on the second level...
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: So, uh, she would have seen the crime in better lighting conditions.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: And this is important... why?
![](61-Phoenix_Embarrassed.png)
: Um...
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: ...
![](61-Phoenix_Embarrassed.png)
: ...
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: Mr. Wright! Let's review what we know!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: It changes the distance between her and the scene of the crime!
![](35-Edgeworth_Sly.png)
: I don't see how that would change what she could see.
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: What she saw is not in question here.
![](18-Phoenix_Smug.png)
: What matters is the time it would take her to reach the scene of the crime!
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...!
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Ms. Starr! You witnessed the crime from the security guard station!
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Now, how long did it take you to go from there...
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: to the scene of the crime, where you arrested Ms. Skye!?
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: ...
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Well, witness?
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: You...
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Y-yes...?
![](34-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(The quality of my lunches has gone from low to inedible.)
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: I was bringing a PB&J lunch with fresh boysenberry jam to my boyfriend.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Hmm...
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Boysenberry for the boyfriend!
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: He wasn't in the station, so I waited.
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: But... the door was locked. I couldn't open it.
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: That's quite a detour.
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: It probably took me at least
five minutes to get to the scene of the crime.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: F-f-f-five minutes!?
![](42-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: This changes things considerably!
![](11-Angel_Nasty.png)
: But, it was that woman over there in the defendant's chair who stabbed him!
![](11-Angel_Nasty.png)
: I swear it...
![](12-Angel_Angry.png)
: I swear it on my finest plastic spork!
![](42-Judge_Thinking.png)
: You have a point. And the spork is a wonderful invention.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Absolutely!
![](34-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(Uh oh...)
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: Mr. Wright! You have to do something!
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(I think I need more evidence before I go sticking my spork in this mess...)
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Woo! Caviar!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Ah... how it makes my eyes tingle!
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: Mr. Wright!
![](54-Ema_Side.png)
: No evidence can win against the raw power of caviar! It's a scientific fact! The only thing that's left...
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: Is your strong presence and deft powers of deduction!
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: ...!
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: Let's screw the lid back on those overpriced fish eggs!
Which leaves us where the right answer does.
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Five minutes between the witnessing of the murder and the arrest! Think about it!
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: You could make pasta in that amount of time! If you like it al dente!
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: A five minute "blank"...
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Isn't that strange!?
![](44-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: Strange...?
![](37-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: If you were a criminal...
![](41-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: What would you do with five minutes, Your Honor?
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Well, um...
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: I guess I'd flee the scene.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Hey! D-don't get the wrong idea! I didn't kill anyone...
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: But you have the instincts of a killer! You would run!
![](9-Phoenix_Point.png)
: But this time was different!
![](42-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Well then.
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: It seems we've come to the end of this testimony.
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: She has a grudge against the defendant, and there is a blank in her testimony.
![](17-Angel_Hurt.png)
: ...!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Mr. Edgeworth, is the next witness ready to go?
![](5-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: Unfortunately...
![](26-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: I appear to have overestimated this witness on account of her professional history...
![](31-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: We did it! We screwed that can shut, Mr. Wright!
(Th-that was too close!)
![](42-Judge_Thinking.png)
: I'm afraid that
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: the Cough-up Queen has been dethroned.
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: And with that, court is adjourned!
![](34-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(That's the one she tried to foist off on me!)
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: I prefer to not take the defense team's lefotvers. Anything else to say?
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: I... might be able to save you.
![](11-Angel_Nasty.png)
: I have decisive evidence.
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Wh-what was that!?
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(Is this another one of her trick lunchboxes!?)
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: My apologies, but we have no further questions to ask of you, Ms. Starr.
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: Ah...
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Whoo hoo! A triple-decker!
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: Out of deference to the witness's determination, I'll allow one more testimony!
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: Let's hear about this
decisive evidence.
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: Like the Lunchland motto says, you won't be disappointed!
![](4-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(What's she going to pull out of her lunchbox this time!?)
![](29-Judge_Shock.png)
: Wh-what!? There was blood found on that shoe!?
![](44-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: Witness, what's the meaning of this?
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: Simple. As I've already said...
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: I don't trust you with evidence, Mr. Edgeworth! That's why I took the liberty of investigating this myself.
![](5-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: And... you had blood tests performed?
![](7-Angel_Demure.png)
: Didn't I mention?
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: I have three boyfriends in forensics.
![](44-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: In any case, Your Honor,
![](26-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: I can't accept this as evidence!
![](12-Angel_Angry.png)
: What...?
![](44-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: You should know the two rules of
evidence law, Ms. Starr!
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Rule 1: no evidence shall be shown without
the approval of the Police Department!
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: I-is that right, Mr. Wright!?
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: It seems so. Edgeworth sure is celebrating.
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: Not so fast, Mr. Edgeworth.
![](6-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...!
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: Don't forget... I used to be a detective! As I mentioned previously...
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: Even the general public can produce official evidence, Mr. Edgeworth.
![](98-Edgeworth_Hurt.png)
: Nuh... Ungh!
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: I-is that right, Mr. Wright!?
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: It seems so. Edgeworth is looking pretty sullen.
![](53-Ema_Determined.png)
: You could at least study some evidence law! Really!
![](42-Judge_Thinking.png)
: The prosecution's complaints notwithstanding...
![](24-Judge_Normal.png)
: It appears that this evidence satisfies the first rule of evidence law. Well...
![](25-Judge_Angry.png)
: It seems you have yet another count against you, witness.
![](8-Angel_Normal.png)
: Anything to ensure that the guilty are properly judged.
Examining it...
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: It appears so.
(Lana's right hand was bandaged when I saw her in jail. She must have cut herself at the time of the crime...)
![](101-Ema_Dejected.png)
: Poor sis...
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: On the sole of the shoe? It's got to be the victim's. He must have stepped in a puddle of his own blood.
![](101-Ema_Dejected.png)
: All this blood... It's horrible!
![](15-Phoenix_FPV.png)
:
(Hmm... This blood might be an important clue...)
Next time: Yeah, even more testimony.
