District Court
Defend Lobby No. 1, 9:30AM
Phoenix's POV
Phoenix (Thinking): I hope I'm ready. I promise Maya that I would clear her name, and I can't go back on my word.
Nick: Hey Phoenix!
Phoenix: Oh hey.
Judy: What's wrong, nervous?
Phoenix: A little bit. I didn't get much sleep last night. I was too busy thinking about the evidence we've found.
Nick: Don't worry. Even without Mia, you still got us, and you're very good at finding connections with the evidences. You'll do fine.
Phoenix: Thanks. By the way, do you guys know who the prosecutor is?
Judy: Prosecutor? I believe his name is Miles Edgeworth.
Phoenix: E-Edgewoth!
Judy: Yeah. Do you know him?
Phoenix: Um yeah… but not personally no.
Phoenix (Thinking): Miles Edgeworth. Never thought I would finally meet him after all these years.
Bogo: Hey guys!
Judy: Ch-chief! What are you doing here!?
Bogo: Isn't it obvious? I came to see the trial. Don't worry I got my top rank officer keeping an eye on the place. I just want to see how good Phoenix is.
Bailiff: The trial's about the start. Will the defended and the lawyer please go to the courtroom?
Nick: Alright Phoenix. Good luck. Remember this is for Mia and Maya.
Phoenix: Right!
District Court
Courtroom No. 1, 10:00 AM
Judge: The court is now in session for the trial of Ms. Maya Fey.
Edgeworth: The prosecution is ready, Your Honor.
Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor.
Phoenix (Thinking): Miles Edgeworth. Better not show any signs of weakness today, or he'll be on me in an instant.
Judge: Mr. Edgeworth. Please give the court your opening statement.
Edgeworth: Thank you, Your Honor. The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey, was at the scene of the crime. The prosecution has evidence she committed this murder… and we have a witness who saw her do it. The prosecution sees no reason to doubt the facts of this case, Your Honor.
Judge: I see. Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth. Let's begin then. The prosecution may call its first witness.
Edgeworth: The prosecution calls the chief officer at the scene, Detective Gumshoe!
Gumshoe got up and took the stand.
Edgeworth: Witness, please state your name and profession to the court.
Gumshoe: Sir! My name's Dick Gumshoe, sir! I'm the detective in charge of homicides down at the precinct, sir!
Edgeworth: Detective Gumshoe. Please describe for us the details of the murder.
Gumshoe: Very well, sir! Let me use this floor map of the office to explain. The body was found by this window, here.
Edgeworth: And the cause of death?
Gumshoe: Lost of blood due to being struck by a blunt object, sir! The murder weapon was a statue of "The Thinker" found next to the body, sir! It was heavy enough to be a deadly weapon, even in a girl's hands, sir!
Judge: The court accepts both the floor plans and the statue into evidence.
Nick (Whispering to Judy): They're still calling it a statue.
Edgeworth: Now, Detective…
Gumshoe: Y-yes sir!
Edgeworth: You immediately arrest Ms. Maya Fey, who was found at the scene, correct? Can you tell me why?
Gumshoe: Yes sir! I had hard evidence she did it, sir!
Judge: Detective Gumshoe. Please testify to the court about this "hard evidence."
