District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1, 9:52AM
Phoenix's POV
Maya: Well… I guess this is it!
Phoenix: Yeah. One way or another, this case gets decided today.
Judy: That's right. I'll be with you Phoenix!
Nick: I will too. Just do what you can, I have faith in you.
Maya: Aaa! G-guys! Look!
Phoenix (Thinking): Prosecutor… Edgeworth.
Edgeworth: I received a call from the public prosecutor's office today. He told me that whatever Mr. White says today will be the "absolute truth." No matter how you try to attack his testimony… If I raise an objection, I have faith that the judge will listen to me.
Phoenix (Thinking): What, does White have the judge in his pocket, too!?
Nick: So you're saying I'm going to be guilty. End of story?
Edgeworth: … I will do anything to get my verdict, Mr. Wilde. Anything.
Maya: Why… Why!? How can you torment an innocent person like this!?
Edgeworth: "Innocent"…? How can we know that? The guilty will always lie, to avoid being found out. There's no way to tell who is guilty and who is innocent! All that I can hope to do is get every defendant declared "guilty"! So I make that my policy.
Phoenix: Edgeworth… You've changed.
Judy: Phoenix! Do you know him!?
Egeworth: Don't expect any special treatment for your friend, Mr. Wright.
Nick: Edgeworth.
Edgeworth stopped and turned.
Nick: You're right. We can't really tell who is guilty and who is innocent. That's why you have to hear both sides of the argument. They might lie and they might falsity, but all you have to do is trust them enough to believe. I know I wasn't innocent in the past, you probably weren't too. I could tell by the tone of your voice.
Edgeworth: …!
Nick: But I believe in Phoenix, and I know he'll get me out of this mess!
Edgeworth: Don't celebrate too soon.
Judy: Nick…?
Nick: It's okay. He'll learn. Phoenix, I believe in you. Do whatever you can to get me out of this mess!
Maya: Wait… where's Chief Bogo?
Judy: He told me he has a very important meeting today and can't make it, but he told us that he wishes the best of luck for us.
Phoenix: Right! Let's do this.

District Court
Courtroom No. 1, 10:00AM
Judge: The court is now in session for the trail of Mr. Nick Wilde.
Edgeworth: The prosecution is ready, Your Honor.
Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor.
Judge: Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your opening statement, please.
Edgeworth: As the details of the events are already quit clear, today we will hear the testimony of another witness to the defendant's crime.
Judge: I see. The prosecution may call its witness.
Phoenix (Thinking): That went far too smoothly! Why didn't the judge ask Edgeworth why his witness didn't testify before!? It's like… it's like he already knows why! Hmm. If anyone is going to raise an objection about this, I suppose it's me.
Phoenix: Mr. Edgeworth, you own an explanation to the court! Why didn't this witness testify in the trail against Ms. Maya Fey!?
Edgeworth: Hmph. I'm ever so sorry! Mr. White is a busy man, and besides… at the time, I thought Ms. May's opinion was all that would be needed. Again, my sincerest apologies to the cout.
Judge: Excellent, Mr. Edgeworth. I appreciate your demeanor.
Phoenix (Thinking): Great. He gets to show off and I get nowhere.
Edgeworth: I would like to call Mr. Redd White to the stand!
Mr. White took the stand.
Edgeworth: Please state your full name.
White: You wish to know the title of my personage?
He started showing off his fancy rings
Edgeworth: Er… your name?
White: Yes! That is what I said! Oh dear, do my locutions confuse?
Edgeworth: Name!
Phoenix (Thinking): These two are great together.
White: My name is Redd White. But my friends call me Blanco Nino. I am the CEO, or to use a more common term, the President, of Bluecrop.
Edgeworth: Did you know the victim, Ms. Mia Fey?
White: That would be a negatory! No, I did not.
Edgeworth: … You were at the Gatewater Hotel the night of the murder?
White: Correct.
Edgeworth: And you witness the murder from there?
White: Ahem. Why tell you what you already know?
Judge: Very well, Mr. White. You may begin your testimony.
Phoenix (Thinking): If I can't rip this guy's testimony apart, Nick is done for.
I turned and I saw Judy and Nick winking at me, I felt a little better.
White: Ho hoh hoh. I hope you have made your peace with God, Mr. Wilde!
Nick: …
Judy: Give it to him, Phoenix!
Maya: Make him pay!
