-District Court-
-Defendant Lobby No. 2-
Carridge: Mr Wright! You're here!
Phoenix had only just into the lobby when he was confronted by James.
Phoenix: Yes?
Carridge: Good luck for both our sakes...
???: Mr Nick!
Phoenix: Pearls! Is that you?
Pearl: Yes Mr Nick, I ran all of the way here, Maya said she couldn't come. I think she misses you incredibly so.
Phoenix ((She ran all the way here?! AGAIN???!!!!)) (
Blushes) Er...uh...
Pearl: Mr Nick!? Isn't it that man? Mr Edgeworth?!
Phoenix: ((Edgeworth?!))
Edgeworth: (
walks over to Phoenix) Wright, you don't want to do this...
Phoenix: I do Edgeworth, he is innocent and you know it!!!
Edgeworth: Then, who do you propose the real killer is??
Phoenix: From what I've been told... the witness...
Edgeworth: So Gumshoe told you... (
Edgeworth storms out of the lobby)
Bailiff: Will the defnese and his client please proceed into the court room?
???: Good luck, Wright...
Phoenix: Mia???!
- August 20th 10:00am -
- District Court -
- Courtroom No. 2 -
(
The jury chatters. Suddenly the judge's gavel pounds the desk. The jury become silent...)
Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of James Carridge.
Phoenix: The defense is ready, your honor.
Edgeworth: The prosecution is ready, your honor.
Judge: ... Will the prosecution state their opening statement?
Edgeworth: Ahem, between 5-6pm two days ago, the defendant was clearly seen by a witness, killing 11 people and putting another into a coma! Evidence today will back-up the theory of this.
Judge: Thank you, Mr Edgeworth. Now what is some of this evidence??
Edgeworth: For starters, the pistol used to kill 11 people had fibres which are very similar to the defendant's gloves' fibres. Also, the pistol is a police officer's pistol as well.
- Pistol Updated -
Judge: Hmmm... Mr Edgeworth, you may call your first witness to the stand.
Edgeworth: The prosecution calls Detective Gumshoe to the stand!
Phoenix: ((Only Gumshoe first, I better find a contradiction, and fast, before the whole court sides with Edgeworth!))
(
Gumshoe waddles up to the stand)
Edgeworth: Witness! Please state your name and occupation to the court!
Gumshoe: Detective Dick Gumshoe, pal! I am in charge of homocides down at the precinct, sir!
Edgeworth: Detective Gumshoe... please enlighten the court of the serial killings...
Gumshoe: Yes, sir! The serial killings happened around 5-6pm at Terry&Co. General Stores. The victims were Rachel Harding, Louis McKenzie, Samantha Green, Thomas Cooper, Janice Cooper, Laura Holmes, Harry Cooke, Stephen Unsworth, Maddie Laurenzo and Sasha Canberra. The only survivor is Marissa Hargreaves, but she is in a coma, due the injuries on her head and neck. All of the victims that were killed were shot once in the head by a pistol, mentioned earlier. Marissa was stabbed once in the head and neck, the knife was long enough to reach her neck. Just before she was attacked, she was on her phone.
Judge: Who was she talking to Detective?!
Gumshoe: Er... uh... Mr Edgeworth....
Judge: Mr Edgeworth? This one?! HERE?!
Edgeworth: Hmph... It's true. All I heard just before the murder was screams, gunshots, then, I ran to the scene of the crime, to find detectives and Marissa......
- Phone Updated -
Edgeworth: Now then witness... please testify to the court about the arrest of the defendant.
- The Arrest -
1) It was around 5:45pm.
2) We received a call from the defendant asking for an ambulance and police backup.
3) We got there around 5 minutes later.
4) When we arrived, the defendant looked startled by the bodies.
5) The ambulance crews tried to save the dead, but it didn't work. Marissa had already been taken down to the hospital.
6) Over a period of a day, we found some evidence and a witness came forward.
7) The witness had stated that the defendant did it.
8) Apart from that, there's nothing we've overlooked.
Judge: Mr Wright, your cross examination please.
- The Arrest -
1) It was around 5:45pm.Phoenix:
How are you so sure of the time?!
Gumshoe: Well, when we are informed of a case, the time is also given to us...
Edgeworth:
Mr Wright! You are meant to find contradictions! Not to chat with the witness!!!
Judge: Sustained! Relevance, only relevance Mr Wright!
2) We received a call from the defendant asking for an ambulance and police backup.Phoenix:
Are you sure it was the defendant???!
Gumshoe: He gave is police code. Which, is quite hard to remember if you aren't the actual person.
3) We got there around 5 minutes later.Phoenix:
That was pretty quick!
Gumshoe: Our motto of the month is "Get There Quick!" !!!
Edgeworth:
Mr Wright!!! This is irrelevant! Remember, contradictions!!
4) When we arrived, the defendant looked startled by the bodies.Phoenix:
Did he look dazed or...?
Gumshoe: Just startled. Not like a murderer at all!!!
Edgeworth:
Gumshoe! Your personal opinions are not needed...
Gumshoe: ...(
sniffs)
Judge: Objection sustained! Detective, please refrain from personal opinions.
5) The ambulance crews tried to save the dead, but it didn't work. Marissa had already been taken down to the hospital.
Phoenix:
What was her medical condition?
Gumshoe: Fairly serious. But now she is stable.
Edgeworth: ...
6) Over a period of a day, we found some evidence and a witness came forward.Phoenix:
Was this the evidence we have already got?!?
Gumshoe: Ayup, pal.
Edgeworth:
Mr Wright! That was obvious!
Phoenix: Urk....! I guess.... so? Anyway, why didn't the witness call the police first?!
Gumshoe: Good question! Ask the witness later!!
7) The witness had stated that the defendant did it.Phoenix:
What evidence supports this?!
Gumshoe: The pistol and the fibres. Also the pistol is an officer's one too and the defendant was missing one of his pistols too.
- Pistol Updated -
8) Apart from that, there's nothing we've overlooked.Phoenix:
Detective Gumshoe!!!??
Gumshoe: What? Pal!!
Phoenix: (
presents the tape) Perhaps, you shouldn't of overlooked this?!
Gumshoe:... Huh?!? Er... hehehe...pal! We thought it didn't have anything to do with it.
Phoenix: Well, perhaps, it does! Your Honor, can I?!
Judge: Well, if you think it does have anything to do with this trial... yes... ok then!
(
A T.V. is rolled in by the bailiff, he places the tape in, everyone watches intently, On the tape itself, there is no shopkeeper, just lots of people, including the victims and Marissa)
Judge: So, Mr Wright! Is there anything suspicious?!
Phoenix: Well, there's no shopkeeper...
Edgeworth:
But, the shopkeeper could have been in the storeroom...
Phoenix: But WHAT was he doing in there?!
Edgeworth: Unloading supplies, what else?!
Phoenix: Nope! He was cutting the security tape!
Judge: AH!!!!
Phoenix: Therefore...! The witness is the...
Judge: ...Murderer... I see!
(
The tape cuts out, you can't see anything bu the sound is still on)
*BANG*
Screams
*BANG BANG BANG BANG*
More screams
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*
*Click*
???: Rats...
A voice...
???: Help... M-M-Miles, please! Urrrr...
???: This is your payback, Ms Hargreaves...
The tape goes dead of all sound...
-Tape Updated-
Judge: !!!
Phoenix: !!!
Edgeworth: !!!
Mia: !!! Wright! This is proof!
Phoenix: Of what?!
Mia: The
killer! The voice! It isn't... the defendant!
Phoenix: !!! You are right!
Judge: Well... this is unexpected...
Phoenix:
You Honor!!
Judge: Yes Mr Wright?!
Phoenix: This proves one thing!!!
Judge: What!?????
Phoenix: That Mr Carridge is NOT the killer!!! The voice! It's too low to be his!!!
Judge: Again! You are right!
Edgeworth: Tsk Tsk... Maybe The defendant knew he couldn't cut out the sound? So, instead of using his own voice, he used another?
Judge: Hmmm... This is possible, yet, it could be impossible. This is confusing.
Phoenix:
Mr Edgeworth?! His voice, the accent isn't similar to his... His accent, is more, slang like.
Edgeworth: ... True.
Phoenix: ((I can't believe it! He actually agrees with me!))
Mia: ((You provided the truth, Wright, now for the final blow))
Phoenix: ((What?!))
Mia: ((The killer! He didn't deliberately want to stab her!))
Phoenix: ((Is that really a final blow?!))
Mia: ((Well, listen closely, there's a click, and... "rats..."))
Phoenix ((!! Yeah!)) Your honor?!
Judge: Yes Mr Wright?!
Phoenix: The killer, he didn't plan to kill Marissa with a knife!!
