M:Aw, man...

YY:A foggy lake, huh?

PW:It's a photo of the moment of the m*rder.

YY:Come to think of it, I heard a loud bang from the lake early yesterday.

YY:Then I heard another one.

PW:What time was this?

YY:I don't remember.

YY:A little while later, this boat comes back.

YY:Then a young man walked by my window.

M:That must've been the culprit!

PW:Did you see him?

YY:Well, sonny...

M:Let's ask Polly, then!

M:Could you tell us anything else?

DG:Oh, you came?

M:Detective Gumtree!

PW:How's the investigation going?

DG:It's going nowhere, pal.

DG:In the briefing, they still believed Mr. Edgeworth was the culprit.

M:Wasn't he cleared of suspicion?

DG:We found a motive, pal.

PW:The DL- Incident?

DG:You knew?

DG:The victim, Hammond, was the defense attorney in that trial.

PW:Fifteen years ago, Edgeworth's father was m*rder*d.

PW:Hammond was the one who defended the accused, proving him not guilty.

DG:The brass believes that Mr. Edgeworth k*lled him for revenge.

PW:Incidentally, I came here to take a look at the DL- case files.

DG:Don't tell me you suspect him, too?

PW:No.

PW:I just think that the incident holds the key to this case.

DG:Got it, pal.

DG:I'll bring the files right away.

DG:That's weird.

DG:Apparently, Mr. von Karma took all the DL- case files

DG:over to the prosecutor's office just now.

DG:He took all the evidence, but we have copies of the paperwork.

PW:Thanks.

DG:In return, win tomorrow's trial, no matter what!

DG:No matter what, pal!

VK:The prosecution would like to call its witness to the stand.

Sign:Witness — ???

M:It's the old man from yesterday.

VK:Witness, state your profession.

YY:I, uh, run a noodle shop at Gourd Lake...

YY:And I, er, also rent boats.

VK:Very well. Now testify.

J:Ah, wait.

J:The witness will state his name.

YY:Well, um...

YY:I'm not really sure.

VK:Your Honor,

VK:the witness does not remember anything beyond the last few years.

VK:Ergo, he cannot recall his own name.

J:Amnesia?

PW:Please wait.

PW:How can he testify in that state?

VK:The incident in question occurred only three days ago.

VK:There is no problem.

J:Right, no problem at all.

PW:He really is a pushover!

YY:When I looked out the window, I saw a boat just a' floating on the lake.

YY:Then I heard another bang.

YY:A while later, the boat returned to shore, and a man walked by my window.

YY:That's about all I saw.

PW:The same as we heard yesterday...

J:Defense, you may begin your cross-examination.

PW:Are you sure you heard the g*nshots after midnight?

J:Witness!

YY:Pretty sure, ayup.

PW:But when I spoke to you yesterday, you said you didn't remember.

PW:How are you so sure about it now?

YY:I remembered it while talking to the prosecutor.

PW:Wouldn't that mean Mr. von Karma manipulated your testimony?

Objection,Sign:Objection!

VK:Objection!

VK:That is a baseless accusation, kid.

J:Objection sustained.

PW:I'll change my question.

PW:Where was the g*nf*re coming from?

YY:From the lake.

YY:When I heard a bang, I looked out the window and saw the shape of a boat.

YY:And then I heard another bang...

VK:It was the sound of g*nf*re, correct?

YY:That's right, ayup.

PW:Who was in the boat at the time?

YY:Keith...

PW:What is it?

YY:Why are you acting like an attorney?

PW:Please answer the question!

YY:Well, it was pretty far away, and it was all covered in fog...

PW:So you didn't see them clearly?

YY:Ayup... at the time, that is.

PW:At the time?

VK:Later, someone passed by the window of the boat shack.

VK:Correct?

YY:Yeah, it was the m*rder*r.

J:Did you see his face?

YY:Yeah, I did.

PW:What? Y-You saw him?

YY:I told you this yesterday, Keith.

PW:That's news to me!

YY:It was him. He's the one I saw.

VK:The defendant, Miles Edgeworth.

VK:Are you certain?

YY:Yeah... It was this Edgy-boy!

J:Order! Order in the court!

J:The testimony just now is decisive evidence that proves the defendant's guilt—

PW:Please wait, Your Honor!

PW:We already proved that my client didn't fire that g*n!

PW:The m*rder*r fired with his left hand,

PW:but the fingerprints on the g*n were from the defendant's right hand!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

VK:Objection!

VK:That is easily explainable.

VK:He could have worn gloves during the act and carelessly left his prints on it later.

VK:That is probably what happened.

PW:N-No way.

VK:Everything is crystal clear now.

VK:The defendant is guilty!

PW:But the witness could be mistaken...

VK:Do you have any evidence proving that?

PW:W-Well...

VK:In a court of law, the evidence tells all.

VK:How have you not realized this basic fact,

VK:you damned amateur?

VK:Judge, I demand you declare the verdict.

PW:Please wait!

J:I shall hereby hand down the verdict for Mr. Miles Edgeworth.

Verdict,Sign:Guilty

J:Guilty.

PW:It's over?

LB:Wait a damn second!

J:Wh-Who was that just now?

LB:Me!

VK:Judge. You've already given your verdict.

VK:Throw that fool out.

LB:Hold up! Listening to you people made me remember...

LB:I was there by the lake on the night of the m*rder.

LB:The m*rder occurred on Christmas Eve, right?

LB:I was there, and I heard it.

J:Heard what?

LB:The g*nsh*t, of course.

J:Wh-What?

LB:The old man's testimony didn't quite sit right with me.

LB:So I can't just sit here and let you call Edgey a m*rder*r.

VK:The verdict has been decided.

VK:I call for adjournment.

J:One moment...

J:Did you really hear g*nf*re on the night of the m*rder?

LB:Yeah. Clearly, like bang!

M:This is it, Nick! Larry's given us one final chance at this!

PW:Your Honor!

PW:If there is another witness, it is our duty to hear him speak!

VK:A waste of time!

VK:The verdict cannot be overturned!

J:Allow me to state my opinion.

J:In all court proceedings, it is our duty to prevent an inaccurate verdict.

J:Therefore, we must examine every piece of evidence and listen to each witness!

VK:What?

J:I withdraw my previous verdict of "guilty"!

J:Are we clear?

J:Testify to the court about what you saw on the night of the m*rder.

LB:You got it!

PW:We're counting on you, Larry.

LB:That night, I was in a boat out on the lake.

LB:I was looking for the Steel Samurai.

J:The Steel Samurai?

PW:The mascot for the witness's food stall.

Sign:Samurai Buns

PW:It's actually a big, inflatable balloon.

PW:He apparently sent it flying out into the lake, along with an air tank.

LB:So I went, uh, looking for it.

TestimonyOrange,Sign:Testimony

LB:I finally found it and returned the boat at the dock.

LB:That's when I heard this bang.

LB:Naturally, I looked out over the lake.

LB:But I didn't see a boat.

J:You only heard one bang?

LB:Right-o.

LB:After that, I dragged the Steel Samurai back to the stall.

J:Your cross-examination, defense.

PW:If I don't find a new lead here, the trial will end this time for sure.

PW:When did you hear the noise?

LB:Oh, it was around : when I went out in the boat,

LB:and I was out searching for about an hour...

LB:I guess I heard the g*nsh*t at around midnight.

VK:That matches the other witness testimonies.

VK:This is pointless.

LB:Get off your high horse, man!

PW:But when he heard the shot,

PW:there wasn't a boat with the victim and the defendant on the lake.

PW:Isn't that right, Larry?

LB:Th-That's right!

LB:Isn't it weird?

J:That is quite strange.

M:Besides, you only heard one shot, right?

LB:Yeah.

LB:A loud bang!

VK:Two witnesses have already testified that they heard two g*nshots.

VK:This man's testimony is hogwash!

LB:Hogwash? What do you mean, you idiot?!

PW:Larry, you sure you only heard one shot that night?

LB:W-Well, uh...

PW:Make it clear, dude!

LB:What's with that casual way of talking to me?!

LB:I'm a witness, man! Your guest of honor!

PW:Very well, witness...

PW:Are you absolutely sure you only heard one g*nsh*t that night?

LB:Well, to tell ya the truth, I'm not sure.

LB:You know I always listen to the radio at night...

PW:No, I don't.

M:Wait, the radio?

LB:Yeah, booming loud on my headphones!

LB:I was listening to Auralia's Midnight Lovey-Dovey Rendezvous!

PW:What?!

VK:What a farce.

LB:"Hey, it's almost Christmas!

LB:All you lone wolves,

LB:your aural lover, Auralia, wishes you a Merry Christmas!"

VK:I have had enough!

VK:Judge, your verdict. Now.

J:R-Right...

PW:I have to get something from his testimony.

PW:What do I do?

Mia:The evidence knows the truth.

Mia:If you ask it from the bottom of your heart,

Mia:it will answer you.

PW:The evidence...

PW:That's right!

LH:It was Christmas Eve, just after midnight, I reckon.

PW:That's it!

J:That ends this trial—

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:Objection!

PW:Larry!

PW:Repeat the words you heard when the g*nsh*t went off!

LB:What my aural lover, Auralia, said?

PW:Yeah, what Auralia said!

LB:Sure.

LB:"Hey, it's almost Christmas!

LB:All you lone wolves—"

PW:Hold it!

Objection,Sign:Hold it!

PW:Your Honor, did you hear what the witness just said?

J:Wh-What was it, again?

PW:Right at the moment he heard the g*nsh*t,

PW:the radio DJ said, "It's almost Christmas."

PW:In other words, it wasn't Christmas yet!

J:Ah!

PW:But according to the two previous statements,

PW:the g*nshots were fired after midnight!

PW:This photograph is irrefutable proof!

J:When the camera reacted to the g*n and took the picture,

J:it was : AM on December th.

PW:There's a clear time difference!

VK:Objection!

VK:The witness is plainly mistaken!

LB:Say what?

PW:He's not mistaken, Your Honor.

PW:Lotta Hart's camera, which was set to trigger on loud noises,

PW:took another picture that night.

J:But it doesn't show anything.

PW:Look at the back.

J:"December , : PM."

M:Oh, I get it!

PW:That's right.

PW:Mr. Butz did hear a g*nsh*t.

PW:But he heard it twenty minutes before the other witnesses.

VK:That is ridiculous!

J:Did one or more of the witnesses have the time wrong?

PW:No.

PW:Ms. Hart's camera took a picture at : AM, too.

PW:That means three shots were fired that night.

PW:One at : PM.

PW:And two at : AM.

VK:Oh, please. That man probably sneezed and triggered the camera.

LB:I did not!

LB:But I did yawn and fart.

VK:Regardless, this evidence isn't enough to overturn the verdict.

VK:End these proceedings at once!

J:Does the defense have any objections?

PW:The defendant really is innocent.

PW:I've learned the truth behind this case.

PW:The evidence cleared it all up for me.

VK:Cleared what up?

PW:It was all a setup to frame the defendant.

PW:Ten minutes after midnight, g*nshots were heard from the boat on the lake.

PW:One shot. And another.

PW:And then, the victim fell into the lake,

PW:leaving the defendant, Miles Edgeworth, alone on the boat.

VK:The victim was shot from a meter or so away.

VK:Only the defendant could have done it!

PW:But that's only if we assume the victim was shot at this time.

J:What do you mean?

J:Doesn't this photograph prove when the m*rder was committed?

PW:There was another g*nsh*t, though.

PW:At : PM.

PW:It was the shot that this witness heard.

PW:And it was the shot that took Hammond's life.

VK:Don't be stupid.

VK:This photo doesn't even show a boat on the lake!

PW:Yes, that means Hammond was m*rder*d somewhere else.

VK:Then who are these two on the boat?

PW:Of course, it was the defendant

PW:and the m*rder*r who framed him!

J:Order!

J:Framed? Explain further.

PW:After the m*rder*r k*lled Hammond at : PM,

PW:he wore his coat and assumed his guise to meet the defendant,

PW:whom he'd summoned to the lake beforehand.

PW:The two of them set out on a boat.

PW:And then, the m*rder*r fired two shots on the boat.

PW:The first was fired to make anyone near the lake look at the boat.

PW:He probably fired into the water.

PW:Once he'd grabbed their attention,

PW:he fired the second shot.

PW:Due to the fog, anyone looking at a distance

PW:wouldn't be able to tell who'd fired.

J:Th-Then the sh**ter was...

PW:Not Edgeworth...

PW:But the real m*rder*r, disguised as the victim!

M:So that's what happened at : AM!

PW:The m*rder*r pretended to be shot and jumped into the lake.

PW:To someone watching from the shore,

PW:it would appear that a m*rder had taken place before them.

PW:They would think they saw Miles Edgeworth,

PW:who'd been left on the boat, m*rder the man with him.

ME:At the time, I couldn't understand what had happened.

PW:The m*rder*r then swam back to shore,

ME:Left alone on the boat,

ME:I picked up the p*stol in front of me without thinking.

PW:put the coat on the corpse, and threw it into the lake.

PW:It was all done to frame Miles Edgeworth for m*rder.

M:Everything was an act?

VK:If you are this confident, then I assume you know the m*rder*r's name?

PW:No, I don't know his name.

VK:What?

PW:I don't know

PW:because he never told us.

J:Y-You don't mean...

PW:Please call to the stand again

PW:the caretaker of the boat shop!

B:Big trouble, Your Honor!
