Case 5 - Rise From the AshesTrial (Day 2) - Part 5
Back to the trial.
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Very well, Mr. Wright, you may cross-examine the witness!
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Why did you lie about those five minutes?
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: I guess you could say, I just wanted people to look at the results.
![](8-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: The... results?
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: How many times do I have to say this?
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: I saw the chief prosecutor stab the victim before my very own eyes! Compared to that...
![](10-Angel_Angry.png)
: A five minute "blank" means nothing!
![](11-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: Then why didn't you just tell the truth?
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: Don't make me laugh! We're dealing with the most untrustworthy of the vile lot known as prosecutors! Falsified evidence, arranged testimonies, erasing and manipulating evidence...
![](10-Angel_Angry.png)
: When you fight monsters, you need to use every trick in the book!
![](12-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(This when the suspect is admitting she did it?)
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: False testimony is the most despicable crime of all, Ms. Starr.
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Let's just get this over with.
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: And, you found this shoe at the scene of the crime?
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: I detained the chief prosecutor, and notified the Police Department... I wanted to make myself useful while I was waiting for the police to arrive.
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: So, like an ill-trained pooch, you snuck off with a shoe!
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: I was afraid someone would erase the chief prosecutor's crime.
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: See this fashionable basket I have here...?
![](10-Angel_Angry.png)
: It carries more than lunchboxes, gentlemen!
![](12-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(I'm happy for you and your lunchbox bag, really.)
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: In any case, you removed valuable evidence from the scene of the crime.
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Now tell us what you did next.
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: So, you brought it to the forensics department?
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: If you're going to submit something as evidence in court, you need it approved. To do that, evidence must be analyzed...
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: by a forensics expert.
![](8-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
:
(And she got away with her little coup because she used to be a detective...)
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: Makes sense. After all, a man was stabbed here.
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: As I said, there were
two types of blood found on the shoe.
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: You can't say for sure the blood belonged to the victim with a blood test!
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: You claim to know something about blood tests, Rookie?
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Huh...
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: Well, speak up!
![](8-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: Uh, well... Blood comes in four types... A, B, O, and AB... However!
![](25-Phoenix_Point.png)
: You can't tell from a blood test whether a murder was performed... in cold blood!
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: ...
![](11-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: ...
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: ... That's just a figure of speech, Mr. Wright.
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: Actually, if you combine all the various blood tests, there are millions of types! It's practically impossible to narrow a blood sample down to one person!
![](27-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: Or so I hear.
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: M-millions of types?
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: But they said there's very little doubt it could be anyone's but Ms. Lana Skye's.
![](30-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Hmm...
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: So the suspect's blood was found on the victim's shoe...
![](31-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: That ties her directly to the death of Detective Goodman!
![](12-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(I was afraid he was going to say that...)
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(I can't let this evidence go through without a fight!)
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: ...!
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: Some like it hot, Mr. Wright. Some, like your client. She's in enough hot water to make a whole batch of soup.
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: A problem...?
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
:
(No... there's nothing there. And if I just stab blindly at it, I'll hurt my case.)
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: C'mon, Mr. Wright, I know you can find something!
![](27-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: Some kind of off-the-cuff contradiction!
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: I'm trying to avoid saying things off-the-cuff today.
And loop.
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(That's pretty sly, hiding evidence like that!)
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: There's nothing sly about a lawyer using the law as a weapon!
![](37-Ema_Side.png)
: In any case, science is always on our side!
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: Don't forget!
![](27-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: Scientific investivation is the wave of the future!
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
:
(Hmm... maybe I should "investigate" this evidence a little more closely...)
Or...
![](8-Phoenix_Thinking.png)
: If I'm not imagining things...
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: That gleam in your eyes...
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: You're still young, Rookie.
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Let's hear what Mr. Wright has to say!
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: What is contradictory about the victim's shoe?
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: Don't mess with me, Rookie...
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: Hmm... Indeed, there is quite a bit of blood on the bottom of the shoe.
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: It makes sense. The victim was stabbed with a knife!
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: The problem lies...
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: in
the footprint.
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: The... footprint?
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Then... isn't it strange?
![](25-Phoenix_Point.png)
: Why weren't any bloody footprints found by the scene of the crime!?
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: Ah hah!
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: If there were bloody prints they would have been found.
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Order! Order! Order!
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: Well, witness!?
![](59-Angel_Hurt.png)
: What!? Huh? I, uh...
![](27-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: Great going, Mr. Wright!
![](60-Ema_Thoughtful.png)
: But... It's true that the lack of a footprint is a contradiction...
![](27-Ema_Hopeful.png)
: But then we have to ask why there wasn't a footprint!
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Oh!
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: That's true! There has to be a reason why there wasn't a footprint!
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: Think, Mr. Wright, think!
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: ... Hey, I don't know why it's not there. I'm just good at finding contradictions.
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: What!?
![](62-Edgeworth_Cocky.png)
: I see...
![](63-Edgeworth_Sly.png)
: Now I get it!
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(Get what!?)
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Our witness is more devious than I gave her credit for!
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: We were hoodwinked to the very end!
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: Wh-what are you talking about?
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Think back to when she told us about apprehending the suspect...
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: She knocked my hands aside, kiced over an oil drum... Oh, she's beautiful, but deadly! A predator, this one! A leopard woman! Rowr!
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(No kidding!)
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Now, witness. Allow me to ask a very simple question. This "oil drum"...
![](63-Edgeworth_Sly.png)
: was it empty?
![](59-Angel_Hurt.png)
: ...
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: Oh, that, hmm? I'm not sure I like your attitude, Mr. Edgeworth.
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: Though apparently you're not the slowest conveyor belt in the lunchbox factory.
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: Witness! W-well?
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Was the oil drum empty...?
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: The oil drum kicked over by the chief prosecutor...
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: was brimming with water.
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: W-water?
(What does that mean?)
![](63-Edgeworth_Sly.png)
: Still don't get it, Mr. Wright? Do you want to know the reason she knocked it over?
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: The REAL reason?
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: Aaaa haaaaah! You don't mean...!
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Yes, the suspect knocked over that oil drum for one reason and one reason alone!
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: That ties things up quite nicely!
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Then, after the deed was done, she knocked over the oil drum to erase the telltale signs!
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: Why, that's a prosecutor's specialty...
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: erasing evidence!
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(That reminds me... Ms. Skye's right hand was hurt...)
![](30-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Well...
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: I see no reason to prolong this trial.
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: M-Mr. Wright! Do something! Please!
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: W-what!? What can I do? Your sister has confessed to the crime, and she tried to conceal it!
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: B-but...
![](31-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: Enough.
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: There is no need for further debate.
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: The verdict, Your Honor!
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Very well...
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: But Angel Starr is on the prosecution's side! She could have been lying about the water!
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: This court finds the defendant, Ms. Lana Skye...
![](37-Ema_Side.png)
: Huh...? M-me?
![](7-Angel_Normal.png)
: Did you say that I, Angel Starr...
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: was on the prosecution's side?
![](37-Ema_Side.png)
: W-well, yeah, you are! You're saying my sister hid evidence by erasing the bloody footprints!
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: Well.
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: I thought you'd had your fill, but here you are, demanding a second helping!
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: W-wait... Witness, don't tell me
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: you have something else?
![](31-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: You've reached your verdict, Your Honor!
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Any further comments will be held in contempt of court!
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: Your threats don't scare the Cough-up Queen!
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: that the white shoe didn't belong to the victim!
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: Hmm...
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: I see no room for error in this evidence.
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
: Hey! It's clearly wet!
![](30-Judge_Thinking.png)
: Erasing the last trace of doubt from the court's mind.
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Immediately after the murder, the crime scene was washed with water!
![](26-Ema_Determined.png)
: I-I'm sorry, Mr. Wright. I guess I...
![](37-Ema_Side.png)
: I couldn't help after all.
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
:
(It's not your fault... I knew I couldn't win this case from the beginning.)
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(And... it seems this is what your sister wanted anyway!)
![](28-Phoenix_FPV.png)
:
(I'm sorry, Mia...) ...
Don't be so quick to throw in the towel...
Don't give up... Not until the bitter end.
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
:
(This is the last piece of evidence...)
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Very well! This time I'd like to declare a verdict for good!
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: What is it with you people!? Can't I hand down my verdicts in peace anymore!?
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Whatever it is, can it wait?
![](12-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
: N-no it can't. Then it will be too late!
![](31-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: So, Wright...
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Are you saying there's a problem with this latest piece of evidence?
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Yeah!
(I'll think later!)
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Yeah, there's a problem!
(Right or wrong, I've got to go ahead with this!)
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: I suppose since we've come this far, we should give every claim a fair shake.
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Very well, Mr. Wright.
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: The problem in this photograph... is here!
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: There's something poking out of
the car's muffler!
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Wait just a moment, Mr. Edgeworth!
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: Your Honor?
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: You just said
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: "
muffler"...
![](18-Edgeworth_Normal.png)
: ...
![](11-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: A muffler is also a part on a car or motorcycle, Your Honor.
![](64-Edgeworth_Pointing.png)
: Just think of it as... part of the exhaust system. A pipe...
![](47-Judge_Shock.png)
: I see! And... I see!
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: Hmph! So what if there is something sticking out of the muffler! What does that have to do with this case?
![](9-Angel_Nasty.png)
: Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
: Sorry, Ms. Starr... But it's not going to be that easy! In fact, you've already told us why this is important to the case...
![](95-Phoenix_Smug.png)
: You said as much in your testimony!!!
![](59-Angel_Hurt.png)
: Wh-what!?
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Let's hear what Mr. Wright has on his mind!
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Ms. Starr!
![](97-Phoenix_Papers.png)
: Recall your testimony for the court...
![](17-Angel_Demure.png)
: That's what had me confused in my earlier testimony!
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: Could it be that the "muffler" you heard mentioned...
![](16-Phoenix_Intense.png)
: If so!
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Well... It seems we will have to suspend the proceedings.
![](59-Angel_Hurt.png)
: Sus... Suspend!?
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: I find myself wondering
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: about that piece of cloth. If we leave any question unanswered here we do a disservice to the law!
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: Have the car at the crime scene inspected at once, and bring me that cloth! The verdict will wait until after we've seen all the evidence.
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: Agreed...?
![](31-Edgeworth_Stern.png)
: ...
![](11-Edgeworth_Curious.png)
: I suppose so.
![](6-Phoenix_Normal.png)
:
(Whew... that was close. But... we made it...)
![](12-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(at least for now!)
![](14-Judge_Normal.png)
: The court will adjourn for a thirty minute recess!
![](1-Judge_Angry.png)
: It's lunchtime after all!
![](12-Phoenix_Nervous.png)
:
(He's still hungry!?)
Next time: Recess.
