Chapter 2: DAY 1; The Pompous Prosecutor (2 of 2)
=Location... Court Room #5; Time... 10:34 AM=
"Court is now in session!" The judge says banging his gavel twice upon his desk.
"This Case is very strange, I have never in all my life seen a murder case quite like this. A security guard, a woman's body and a bone. This will make anyone dizzy." The Judge adds with a shake of his head.
'Looks like the Judge can't even understand it, maybe I have an easy win.. but knowing Norman Tast he'll have something up his sleeve.' Orion thinks to himself resting his hands on the desk.
"Bring in Mr Ebbit." The Judge says.
...
"Good Morning Mr Ebbit, you understand why you are here?" The Judge asks.
"Of course, I'm here to testify on my innocence." Tony says with a smile.
"OBJECTION" Norman shouts slamming his hands on the desk.
"Whoa. What did I do?" Tony asks with sweat appearing on his forehead.
"You are here to not prove your innocence, you are here to prove your guilt!" Norman says.
"This case is all Pompous circumstance. We know Mr Ebbit killed the victim and I have the proof!" Norman adds with a wink and a flip of his wig/hair.
"But I..." Tony starts to say only to be cut off with a bang of the judges gavel.
"Mr Tast! You will refrain from calling anyone guilty." The judge says with a shake of his head.
'Judge: 1, Pompous Prosecutor: 0' Orion thinks to himself.
"Mr Ebbit can you tell the court what you saw?" The judge asks.
"Sure. I'll give 110% of the truth." Tony says with a grin.
-Witness testimony; Tony Ebbit-
"It was 12:00 PM, I was working the night shift again when I happened upon the crime scene. I did not see any dead body of anyone else in the room; all I saw was a black cat appearing from behind an exhibit, hell before I could ask why it was there I was knocked out cold."
-Testimony End-
"Very well, Mr Tast you may question the Witness." The judge says.
-Mr Norman Tast's Question's-
"Mr Ebbit, you are the night guard correct?"
"Yes." Tony says.
"It says here on your personnel file that you had one year left on your contract."
"Oh?" Tony says/asks confused as he did not know that.
"Your boss, the person in question this case is about; was about to fire you before the year was up, as a way to save money."
"That..." Tony says with a growl.
"It also says, you have a temper and a slight aliment."
"T-that's private." Tony says rubbing the back of his head.
"Mr Ebbit.. Are you not deaf in one ear?"
-Question's End-
"You... Why did you... Yes! Yes I am deaf in one ear." Tony says with a sigh.
...
"WHAT!" Orion shouts slamming his hands on the desk.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Orion adds asking.
"Proves that Mr Ebbit knew for a fact that no one was there.. not even that 'Black Cat' he saw!" Noman says with an evil grin.
...
...
"WHAT!" Orion shouts again.
"Order in the court." The judge says banging his gavel twice upon his desk.
"Mr Ebbit you must understand our confusion. You are 18 correct?" The judge adds asking Tony about his age.
"Yeah, but my deafness in one ear is because of a birth defect." Tony says.
'Tony why did you not tell the court that your deaf in one ear... that could have saved us time!' Orion thinks to himself with a drop of sweat upon his forehead.
"You see, it proves that Tony could have not heard or saw that 'cat' it also proves that Mr Ebbit is a murderer." Norman says with a chuckle.
"Mr Tast I warned you, next time you speak out of turn again this case will be found in favor of Orion." The judge says.
"Very well. May I call a witness?" Norman asks with a wink.
"There was a witness?" The Judge and Orion ask at the same time.
"Of course. You! Bring him in." Norman says/shouts at a guard.
...
...
...
A old man around 45 years of age, dressed all in white stands in the witness stand running his fingers over his mustache. In both of his hands rests a cane that is firmly planted on the ground.
"Well I have never seen a man quite like yourself." the Judge says with a cough.
"I am a figure." The man says pulling out a mirror from his pockets to look at himself and his white hair and mustache.
'Another pompous figure to deal with.' Orion thinks to himself running his fingers through his hair.
"Can you tell us your name and what you saw?" the Judge asks with a nod.
"Sure; My name is Sol 'Sunny' Shine and I am the new owner of the Museum!" Sunny says with a grin.
-Witness testimony; Sol 'Sunny' Shine-
"What I saw that night would shock anyone, it was around 12:00 when I came upon the scene; I saw Mr Ebbit holding a bloody tusk of a mastodon in his right hand. Below him lay the former owner Miss Elie Fossle, she was dead from a puncture wound through her heart. Then Mr Ebbit did something that confused me, he stuck himself on the back of his head with the tusk. Maybe out of guilt who knows."
-Witness Testimony End-
"So you managed to make out Mr Ebbit in the dark?" the Judge asks.
"Yes, he had a torch in his left hand; It shone up onto his face from a reflected surface. I did not see what was making the light reflect though." Sunny says running his fingers over his mustache.
'I better make a note of this!' Orion thinks to himself marking down on paper;
=EVIDENCE=
Mastodon Tusk (Murder Weapon; used to kill the victim and knock out Mr Ebbit)
Elie Fossle's autopsy report; Female, age 42, killed with Mastodon tusk (Pierced through heart)
=EVIDENCE END=
"Well as you can see my pretty boy, your friend over there is guilty!" Norman says with a wink and a bow.
'Kill me now!' Orion thinks to himself.
"OK, Mr Marx time to do what you do best!" the Judge says with a slight chuckle.
'Yeah time to cross-examine this so called witness.' Orion thinks to himself locking eyes with Norman as to challenge him.
=Cross-Examine Begin=
"What I saw that night would shock anyone, it was around 12:00 when I came upon the scene; I saw Mr Ebbit holding a bloody tusk of a mastodon in his right hand. Below him lay the former owner Miss Elie Fossle, she was dead from a puncture wound through her heart. Then Mr Ebbit did something that confused me, he stuck himself on the back of his head with the tusk. Maybe out of guilt who knows." Sol says once again.
"OBJECTION!"
"Can I ask you something Sol?" Orion asks with a smirk on his face.
"Sure kid." Sol says with a million dollar grin.
"Did you know that my client Tony is not right handed." Orion says.
...
...
...
"WHAT!" Sol shouts knocking his head off the witness stand.
"Yeah, I thought you would say that." Orion says with a winning grin on his face; only for it to fall when his eyes land on Norman Tast.
'OK what is he smiling about.' Orion thinks to himself as a drop of sweat appears on his forehead.
"You forget Orion." Norman says with a chuckle.
'Forget what?' Orion thinks to himself.
"The witness saw Mr Ebbit from where?" Norman asks.
"From a mirror... NO WAY!" Orion says/shouts slapping himself in the face.
"That's correct Orion, now from the plans of the museum; we can plainly see that mirror directly across from the hallway. You can figure out the rest Orion." Norman says with a bow.
'With one move he crippled me, how did he know?' Orion thinks to himself slamming his hand down on the desk.
"Mr Tast you had the plans for the museum, why did you not tell us?" the Judge asks confused.
"It slipped my mind." Norman says with a grin.
"Please give it here, anymore slip ups and I will have to suspend this case until we have another Prosecutor do I make myself clear?" the Judge says/ask looking down at Norman.
"I do!" Norman says gritting his teeth.
=EVIDENCE Updated=
Mastodon Tusk (Murder Weapon; used to kill the victim and knock out Mr Ebbit)
Elie Fossle's autopsy report; Female, age 42, killed with Mastodon tusk (Pierced through heart)
Museum Plan's (Added)
=EVIDENCE END=
"We have proof now, a motive and we have Mr Ebbit at the sight of the scene. What do you have Orion; you have no chance." Norman says.
'He's really annoying me now.' Orion thinks to himself.
"Well Mr Marx do you have anything to add?" the judge asks.
'If I say no now, Tony will be found guilty; but what do I have, I have nothing to prove Tony did not do it.' Orion thinks to himself as he rests his head in his hands.
"Seems like Orion has given up." Norman says with a sickeningly sweet grin on his face.
"Do you agree to what Norman has said Mr Marx?" The judge asks; his gaze resting on Orion's sweaty forehead.
'I can't back down now. I have to find something.. anything." Orion thinks to himself slamming his hands on the desk.
"This court finds Tony Ebbit..." the Judge starts to say only to be cut of with TWO 'OBJECTION'S!'
"Mr Marx did you shout Objection just now?" The judge adds; his gavel resting in his hands.
"I did your Honor." Orion says; he pauses for a second to ponder who else shouted Objection, his eyes roam over the court room; his gaze catches a familiar figure standing at the doors. The judge's eyes widen at the sight of the same figure standing at the doors.
"I see we have a surprise guest; ladies and gentlemen of the court, we are witness to the man himself. Phoenix Wright." The judge says with a chuckle as Phoenix stands next to Orion.
"Good to see you again." Orion says; letting out a sigh of relief.
"Nice to see you again Orion; I see you've gotten yourself stuck again. What would you do without me?" Phoenix asks with his trademark grin.
'With my teacher by my side once again; this case is as good as mine.' Orion thinks to himself watching Norman pull at his wig/hair.
"We will take a 5 minute break so we can breath." The judge says banging his gavel twice upon his desk.
-Time skip-
"Thanks so much Phoenix. I was close to throwing in the towel." Orion says sitting down with a sigh; Phoenix watches on looking at the plans of the Museum.
"Don't give up yet, somethings been bugging me about Mr Sol's testimony." Phoenix says.
"I get that feeling also but what." Orion says running his fingers through his hair.
'This is confusing me, and it looks like it might be the end of this case. Unless...' Orion thinks to himself taking the plans out of Phoenix's hands. A note fall out of the plans. It read's; To move: One Mirror; time of move: 11:55 PM
"I've got it." Orion shouts waving the note in Phoenix's face.
"This is interesting. If the mirror was supposed to be moved, why wasn't it?" Phoenix asks.
"The court is now back in session, please return to the bench!" A guard says/shouts.
'This is the proof I need. Don't worry Tony; we have all we need now to clear your name.' Orion thinks to himself placing the note in his pocket.
