District Court

Courtroom No. 1, 1:16 PM

Judge: The court will now reconvene for the trial of Mr. Nick Wilde. Are you alright, Mr. Wright?

Phoenix: Yes. Sorry about that, Your Honor. I'm fine now.

Judge: Then, let's start where we left off.

Edgeworth: Your Honor. There is nothing to go back to! The cross-examination of Mr. White is finished! All that is required now is for you to pass judgment on the defendant Nick Wilde!

Judge: Hmm…

Phoenix: Your Honor! Please, give me one more chance. I promise you, this is the last time I'll ask you!

Judge: Hmm… But, as Mr. Edgworth has noted, the trial is more or less finished. Mr. Edgeworth, do you have an opinion on this matter?

Edgeworth: I say… let us give Mr. Phoenix Wright his "last chance."

Judge: Very well! You may begin your cross-examination.

Phoenix: Thank you, Your Honor! Mr. White, can you please look closely at this? See the word "Maya" written in blood…?

Edgeworth: Bwah hah! You're grasping!

Judy: We think not! Look at the other side of the receipt.

Edgeworth: Th-the other side?

Phoenix: Your Honor. Would you tell the court what is written on the other side of that receipt?

Judge: Hmm… Well! A "glass light stand"! And the date of purchase… Why that's the day before the murder!

Phoenix: You see! Mr. White. When you allegedly entered the Fey & Co. Law Offices at the beginning of September… The stand could not have been there!

White: Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!?

Judy: Well, Mr. White? Can't get out of this one, can you?

White: No… It's impossachievable…

Judy: Phoenix he's losing it! Now's your chance!

Phoenix: Your Honor. I understand there must be quite a bit of PRESSURE on you. But I think you'll agree you cannot judge my client "guilty" under these circumstances.

Judge: ! … Very well. Then, that is all for the trial of…

Edgeworth Objection! Not so fast, you two!

Judy: What now, the trial's over. Just accept your defeat!

Edgeworth: Like I said. I do anything to get a "guilty" verdict. Yes there is a certain thread of logic to the defendant's claims. However! There is no concrete proof that Nick Wilde is innocent!

Phoenix and Judy: …!

Edgeworth: Ergo! I like to request one more day before Nick Wilde is granted his freedom. I need time to make one more inquiry into this matter.

Judge: Hmm…!

Phoenix (Thinking): Another inquiry…!? This isn't going to be another one of those "updated autopsy reports"! This guy just makes up evidences as he pleases!

Judy: Your Honor, Mr. White guilt is obvious! There is no need to prolong this trial any further!

Judge: Hmm. Well, Mr. Edgeworth?

Edgeworth: If anyone is going to call Mr. White to trial, it would be me, the prosecution. I need a day of ascertain whether your claims have any basis in factual evidence!

Judge: Hmm. I see. Objection denied!

Phoenix and Judy: Whaaaat!

Judge: The completion of the trial of Mr. Nick Wilde will be postponed until tomorrow.

Phoenix (Thinking): No! There's no telling what will happen if I can't end this now! Edgeworth is sure to come up with… or just make up… something! And after Mia showed up to help me and all…

White: Mr. Your Honor! May I go home?

Judge: Of course. Thank you for your time.

Mia: The witness will stay!

Judy: M-Mia!

Mia: Judy! I want you and Phoenix to read this note out loud.

Judy: Mia? Is this…?

Phoenix: Your Honor. If I may…?

Judge: You're quite persistent today, Mr. Wright!

Phoenix (Thinking): You bet I am! Nick's life is riding on this one!

Phoenix: I have something I would like read to the court! Judy took you like a look at this list and can you see what I see?

Judy: I see. Looks like a bunch of people, in different jobs no less.

Phoenix: Indeed there's Chief Bogo's father, oh now this guy's got to be important!

White: S-s-stop! Desist! Halt! P-please, stop! Make them stop! How… how did you get that list!?

Mia: Mr. White. Admit your guilt, right here, right now. Or else this list will be released to the press!

White: ! … I … I confess. I confess. I… I did it. I hit her. I hit Miss Mia with "The Thinker"!...

Judy: Case closed, Your Honor!

Everyone in the courtroom was silent. Some looked happy, while Edgeworth, was at a loss for words.

Judge: Well, I see no reason to continue this trial. Mr. Wright?

Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor.

Judge: You've done it again! That was quite a spirited defense!

Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor. I hues you could say that.

Phoenix (Thinking): If only you knew how "spirit"-ed it was!

Judge: Hmm. Well! This court finds the defendant, Mr. Nick Wiled. Not Guilty! That is all. Court is adjourned!
