Studio audience applauds.
"Welcome to tonight's trial! Here's your host, the honorable Superior Court Judge!" The bailiff-announcer says to the jury-audience.
"What's tonight's trial?" The Judge asks.
"Murder!" The audience yells.
"The defendant?" The Judge asks.
"Larry Butz Jr.!" The audience yells, as Larry Butz Jr. is sweating profusely backstage.
"Bring out the defendant!" The Judge yells, as the bailiff brings Larry onto the stage.
"What do you plea?" The Judge asks Larry, as the bailiff hands him a microphone.
"N-not guilty, your honor." Larry says, still sweating nervously.
"Let's meet our (attorney-)contestants)!" The Judge says, as the contestants come on the stage and go to their tables.
((Your cue to enter. As soon as the/first defense attorney posts, I'll introduce a prosecutor, unless someone already joins as one)).

A woman stood up beside Larry Butz Jr. "Martha Fey, Your Honor. I am this man's defense," she said. "And I can guarantee this man is not guilty."

"I am Gob. O. Payne. I can assure the jury that the defendant did indeed kill the victim."
The studio audience cheered. "Mr. Payne, your opening statement?"
Gob smiled. He was ready for this. "At 12:15 AM, the defendant when to the convince store to buy some beer. When he got there, the victim bought the last pack of beer in stock. Being the alcohol addict he is, he jumped the victim outside the store, killing him in the process. Your honor, he used his fists to kill him."
The audience applauded his opening statement. Larry continued to sweat nervously, however, he does not look like your usual alcohol addict. "Ms. Fey, your opening statement?"

"Ms. Fey's logic is clearly flawed. Why else did the defendant kill the victim? He went to get some beer, right?" Gob asked, as the audience murmured in agreement. The Judge banged his gavel.
"Mr. Payne, call your first witness." The Judge demanded.
"The prosecution calls the defendant to the stand." Gob said, as Larry when to the witness' table.
"Mr. Butz, were you at the convince store at the time of the murder, were you not?" Gob asked.
"Y-yes, I was." Larry said in a nervous tone.
"Why were you there?" Gob asked.
Stop or allow this line of questioning?

At least these people aren't booing me again, Martha thought.

Gob smiled. "Oh really? Then what happened?"
"They were out." Larry replied.
"What did you do then?"
"I went to another store."
"Did you see anyone else?"
"Well there was one person who bought the last beer. He was at the checkout desk with the beer when I was on my way out."
"Then you killed him, didn't you? Outside of the convince store?" Gob asked.
The audience murmured a bit, but it stopped before the Judge could bang his gavel.

"I was thirsty, which is why I went to the convince store.
I originally wanted to get some root beer, but I thought real beer would be fine.
They were out of beer, I left the store.
On my way out, I noticed that a man bought the last pack.
So I waited outside for him and tried to buy a beer off of him.
He said it was for a party, so he couldn't sell me one of his beers."
The Judge nodded. "Ok Ms. Fey, you may now begin your cross-examination."

CROSS EXAMINATION
"I was thirsty, which is why I went to the convenience store.
I originally wanted to get some root beer, but I thought real beer would be fine."
"HOLD IT!" Martha yelled forcefully while extending her index finger. "Why did you decide to make the change?"

"Yes, but you neglected to testify about that." Gob told Larry.
Larry grew worried, as if he had done something wrong. "Well so what?!" Larry yelled, in the same manner as his father did in his murder trial; Phoenix Wright's first trial.
"I think you're lying if you're going to keep such details out of your testimony."
Larry started to sweat again.

The audience laughed.
"Ms. Fey, I already get the point. Do you still want the witness to restate his testimony?" The Judge asked Martha.

Larry sighed.
"I was thirsty, which is why I went to the convince store.
I originally wanted to get some root beer, but they were out.
Because of that, I decided to get some beer.
They were out of beer, I left the store.
On my way out, I noticed that a man bought the last pack.
So I waited outside for him and tried to buy a beer off of him.
He said it was for a party, so he couldn't sell me one of his beers."

"Because of that, I decided to get some beer."
"HOLD IT!" Martha said, mimicking how she did it before.
"How old are you, Mr. Butz?" she asked so the audience could know how old he is.

"That question is irrelevant. Besides, stores don't carry such drugs." Gob told Martha, as the audience begun to murmur about Coke. As usual, the Judge silenced the audience. "Yes Ms. Fey, please use a different line of questioning."

The Judge shook his head. "He did make that clear early on." The Judge said to Martha.

"Well lookie here!" Gob said, noting Larry's condition. "I guess we can't question the witness anymore." With that, the bailiff took Larry away. "In this case, I'll have to call my second witness, Mr. Fred Sahwit."
The bailiff brought out Fred, who walked to the witness stand.
"Name and occupation?" Gob asked, as the studio audience laughed. "Dammit." He whispered to himself.
"I am Frank Sahwit, and I'm the cashier at the Kwiq-E-Mart that the murderer came to the night of the murder."
"Please tell us about that night." Gob said to Fred, trying not to make any more blunders.
"Ok." Fred said, before giving his testimony.
"I had one last customer before my shift was over.
Or so I thought.
The murderer came into the store looking around for something.
He didn't find what he was looking for, so he left.
Apparently my last official customer had what the murderer wanted.
So when I was leaving, I saw the murderer beat the victim until he died.
It was 12 o' clock when I saw this happen."
The Judge nodded. "Very well. Ms. Fey, you may begin you cross-examination."
D'oh! Gob thought to himself, for he lost his chance to make his case more convincing.

"It was twelve o'clock when I saw all this happened."
"Hold it! Are you sure you saw all this happen at midnight?" Martha asked.
