White: Umm, well, see—I looked at the other window when I heard that thing fall. Then, the next moment, I saw Miss Mia run to the left! The killer, the defendant, attacked her… but she dodged. Umm… and then… She turned, and run for the door! Then he did her in with a signal blow! Thwap!
Judge: Hmm. "Thwap" indeed. Very well, you may begin the cross-examination.
White: Mr. Your Honor… My stomach, you see, it is hurting…
Phoenix: Deal with it.
Judy: This is almost over!
White: …!
Phoenix: Now first, you said you heard "that thing fall"? What exactly was "that thing"?
White: Huh? Oh… oh, that? Umm… the glass light stand!
Phoenix (Thinking): Right… the one that had fallen over at the scene.
Judy: Phoenix! Doesn't something about that strike you as odd?
Phoenix (Thinking): Yeah, that is odd, I'll press further.
Phoenix: Mr. White.
White: Huh? W-what?
Phoenix: You're saying you saw the glass light stand?
White: Y-yes.
Phoenix: But that's impossible! The stand broke into pieces when it fell!
White: Whaaaat!?
Phoenix: Just by seeing the broken pieces you would have no idea it was a light stand! So tell me, exactly when was it that you saw the stand? Answer the question!
White: …! I-isn't obvious? I saw the stand before it fell over!
Judy: So… you saw the stand before the victim was attacked, then?
White: C-correct! That would be no problemo, right?
Phoenix: There's a big problemo, er, I mean problem here.
White: What problem is this?
Phoenix: Mr. White, let me make sure I have this straight... You saw that glass light stand through the window, from the hotel… before the incident occurred?
White: Correct! That is so! It's conclusive, definitive, undeniable… unimpeachable!
Phoenix: No, it's impossible! You couldn't have seen the stand!
Judge: What? Why couldn't he? Do you have proof?
Phoenix: I sure do, Your Honor! Look at this!
Judge: These are the floor plans to the scene of the murder, yes?
Phoenix: Correct, Your Honor. Now, look… If you were to look through the window at the office, this is the area you would be able to see! Well…? Note that the stand is not within the visible area! Well, Mr. White! What do you have to say to that!?
White: Er… erp! Ri… dicu… losity…
Phoenix: Mr. White. If you were at the Gatewater hotel as you claim, you could not have seen the stand before it fell over! In fact, you wouldn't have been able to see it after it fell, either! There's no way you could have recognized the broken shards as a glass light stand! So, when did you see the stand, Mr. White? It must have been the moment that it fell! And the only place you could have seen that from… is inside the Fey Law Offices! In other words, you were at the scene of the crime, when the murder took place!
White: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Judge: Mr… White?
White: …
Judy: Mr. White.
White: …
Phoenix: You did it, didn't you?
White: … Mr. Your Honor. I… I… Miss Mia… …
Judy (Whisper): Phoenix, we're about to get our verdict!
Edgeworth: Objection! That's far enough, Phoenix Wright!
Phoenix: W-what!?
Phoenix (Thinking): I forgot about Edgeworth!
Edgeworth: Mr. White…
White: …
Edgeworth: I think the time has come. Shouldn't you confess your crime now, hmm?
Nick and White: W… what?
Edgeworth: I said, you should confess your crime. Ergo, confess that you placed the wiretap!
Phoenix and Judy: The w-wiretap!?
Judge: Order! Order! Mr. Edgeworth! Explain to the court what you mean by this!
Edgeworth: Distinguished members of the court… Mr. White is slightly confused. Allow me to explain.
Phoenix (Thinking): I really don't like where this is headed.
Edgeworth: As you know, Mr. White is the CEO of Bluecorp. He ordered his secretary, Miss April May, to tap the law offices of Ms. Fey.
Judy: What does that have to do…?
Edgeworth: Miss Judy. The question is: when was the wiretap placed in the office, and by who?
Phoenix: No! You wouldn't!
Edgeworth: Mr. White. In order to place the wiretap, you entered Ms. Fey's office. Am I correct?
White: …! C-correct! You are most correct, Miles!
Phoenix: Give me a break!
Judy: You can't be serious!
White: Yes… in order to place the wiretap, I breached the Fey & Co. Law Offices! That is when I saw that accursed light stand!
Judge: Now I'm confused. Please explain to the court what all this means, Mr. Edgeworth!
Edgeworth: Gladly, Your Honor. Mr. Phoenix Wright has made his position quite clear. He has determined that Mr. White knew the glass light stand was in the office. He has shown that there was only one time Mr. White could have seen the stand. At the very moment of the murder! Thus, Mr. Wright would like you to believe that Mr. White was the murderer!
Judge: I see.
Edgeworth: However! It is a fact that Mr. White had been to that office well before the murder took place! He went to place the wiretap! He could have seen the glass light stand then. Ergo, Mr. Phoenix Wright's theory is revealed for the baseless conjecture it is!
Judge: Mr. White! You will testify to the court about this wiretap!
White: Ahem. Leave it to me!
Phoenix (Thinking): I… I feel faint.
