I've decided to change this story and instead of showing 5 cases, I will show 10. The reason is because Manfred spend such a long time as a prosecutor, I can imagine many things happening to him during his career, and I couldn't put it all in five cases. So I moved it up to ten.

Anyway, its time for the first case: The Birth of The Turnabout!

"Where is it? I know you have it!" The angry young woman yelled at the man standing across her.

The man sweated nervously as he looked at the gun that the woman was holding in her hand. "So… you work for them, do you? That's why you got close to me…"

"Shut up!" The woman was losing her cool, clearly worried about something. "Just give it to me right now!"

"Alright, you win. I'll give you what you want…" The man walked with the woman and as she turned around… the man attacked her! As they engaged in their struggle…

BAM! CRASH!

The man picked up the razor sharp object and plunged it into the woman's heart, killing her in an instant.

"Sorry, but I couldn't let you live. No one can know my secret…"

District Court

Prosecutor's Lobby

"…It's almost time for the trial to start." Manfred thought to himself. He had crossed his arms in a thoughtful stance and stood waiting for the detective to arrive with the evidenc. At first glance, Manfred might have been mistaken for an elderly man, with his white hair, but that was actually his natural hair color, and he was in reality a young, healthy 25-year-old man who had just passed the bar exam and became a prosecutor.

"My first trial, and the detective hasn't even shown up yet! Where is that blasted detective!" As Manfred thought about leaving to go find his witness, the door to the Prosecutor's Lobby swung open, and one man came in. He was wearing a police badge on his bright orange suit, proudly declaring his profession as detective.

"Finally." Manfred thought with disdain. He didn't like the fact that the detective had shown up right before the trial had started. It gave him last time to examine the evidence.

"Why are you so late detective?" Manfred asked the detective, but he said nothing.

"Detective?" Manfred tried again, but still the detective just continued to stare at him.

"Detective!" Manfred angrily snapped his fingers at the detective.

"Oh! Sorry, did I ignore you? I was waiting for the prosecutor to show up." The detective said, finally speaking to Manfred.

"I am the prosecutor, you blasted fool!" Manfred said, angered by the detective for failing to recognize him.

"My name is Manfred Von Karma, and I am the prosecutor for this case." Manfred said, identifying himself. He decided to take his prosecutor's badge out of his pocket and show it to the detective.

"Hm…." The detective said as he examined the badge. Then his expression brightened.

"Oops, your right. Sorry about that, Manny!" The detective said, laughing to himself while clapping his hands. Manfred flinched.

"M-Manny?" Manfred thought to himself, upset that he was given a nickname.

"The name's Damon Gant. I'm the detective that's been assigned to this case." The detective said, introducing himself. "Sorry I'm late, but the traffic was nightmare."

"I don't care, detective." Manfred was already upset at how much time was wasted with introductions. "Do you have the evidence I need?"

"Of course, Manny!" Gant said very happily. "I've got the autopsy report and everything, and I'm ready to testify about the case."

"Good." Manfred responded with. He looked at some the evidence and nodded with satisfaction. There didn't seem to be anything that could damage his case, so he decided to let the evidence be. Then he walked over to the witness to finished preparing their testimony.

"My name is Manfred Von Karma, and I'm a prosecutor who just passed the bar exam. This is my first trial, and it's a very simple one. At 12:10 last night, a young man name John Aploe, was accused of killing his girlfriend, Eve Groven. I've listened to the testimony from the witnes, and I'm confident that the defendant is guilty. Not that it matters, because when I first became a prosecutor, I swore to win every single one of my trials, and obtain a perfect record. No matter what happens in this trial, even if the defendant is in actually innocent, I will win this case. and begin my perfect record."

Manfred walked over to the young man standing on the couch in the lobby. "This man is Adam Storen, the only witness to the crime. He was the one who called the police to inform them of the crime."

"Mr. Storen?" Manfred asked. "Do you remember what I told you to testify about?"

"Yes, Mr. Prosecutor," Storen replied. "Only testify about what I saw. Don't waste time with anything else, or tell them why I was there, right?"

"Correct." Manfred said. "Don't tell them why your were there unless your asked to testify about it."

"I can't let the court know about why Storen was there that night. His reasons for being there that night can cast doubt on his testimony and make him a suspect in the murder as well. That might cause the judge to declare the defandant innocent, and I won't let that happen. I swore that when I became a prosecutor, I would win every trial, no matter what I must do to win."

"Excuse me?" The court bailiff had arrived. "The court is starting soon. The prosecutor is to enter the courtroom right now."

"Of course." Manfred turned to Gant.

"Detective Gant, you are only to testify about your arrest of the defendant, and why you arrested him. Is that understood?"

'Of course, Manny! You're the prosecutor in charge of this trial, after all."

With that, Manfred turn to walk through the lobby doors and into the courtroom. "So, my first trial begins. No matter what happens, I must win this trial. I will crush the pathetic and weak defense attorney, whoever they may be! I will crush the defendant's pathetic lies! I will show them all… the power of Von Karma!"

A/N: Here's the second chapter. I made it longer then the last one, so I hope its better.

This is another introduction chapter, to get us to meet the characters in this case. The next chapter will be the actual trial.

I've never written Manfred or Gant before, so I hope I wrote them in character.

On the plus side, we already have a few mysteries on our hands, like why was Storen there that night, and if Aploe really kill Groven. The answer will be revealed in the upcoming chapters.

Read and Review, please!
