Blitz Magnum: Ace Attorney
By Brad Wolf
[District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2

"Don't be nervous, Magnum, you'll do fine." Phoenix said, reassuringly.
Blitz pushed back his owl ear hair. His hair had been like this since he was a kid. One day, he went into his mother's lab in the basement, and found a new formula she had made for hair growth. When he accidentally, spilled it on himself, the sides of his hair grew up and back, like speed lines or owl hair. It's inconclusive whether or not that accident also caused his hair to turn white, a year later. He always pushed back the sides of his hair, when he was nervous.
"Magnum, just remember your argument and everything should be fine." Phoenix said.
Right, he thought, his girlfriend was waiting for him in the bleachers, when she was pushed down to the field, and fell on an upright baseball bat that had been sharpened at the tip, beforehand, that was in a pile of equipment.
"Court is now in session!" a guard shouted, and Blitz pushed back his hair, and went inside.

"If the prosecution and defense are ready, we'll begin. " the judge stated, calmly. He looked tired, this was obviously not his first case today.
"The prosecution is ready, your honor." Max Payne said, curling the tuft of hair, on his otherwise bald head.
"um…the defense is ready, your…your honor." Blitz said, even more nervous, in front of the imposing figure of the judge.
"Would the prosecution like to make an opening statement?" the judge asked.
"Yes, your honor. The prosecution will prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the defendant murdered Ms. Magpie, the defendants lover." Payne said.
"Very well, please bring up your first witness." The judge intoned, having clearly said this several times.
"Yes, your honor."
Witness Testimony:
Coach Goodman
--What I Saw—
"I was going back to the dugout, because I forgot my hat.
I looked up, and saw Joey Gambi talking to his girlfriend.
He got mad, all of a sudden, and pushed her over the fence, onto the pile, where he left the sharpened bat.
He probably arranged it so that she would fall on it."
"Very well, defense, please carry out your cross-examination."
Something is wrong with this testimony and I think I know what it is."
