Um... those cough ups are 37 pages and well over a year old. I'm sure they've all been thoroughly discussed over this topic's course. Try looking at some of the more recent ones.

It sounds like a logical explanation.
But why on Earth did she need to change Magatamas for training? :) Not as if it really mattered.

There's a thread in the GS4 section for GS4 specific coughups, but I'll answer this here~

In the span of the Turnabout Sisters case, the recorded phone conversation between Maya and Mia keeps changing. I'm not just saying some things are omitted, but things that Mia and Maya never said suddenly appear, and other lines are paraphrased. Since it's a recorded conversation, it shouldn't change any. But when you first hear it at the beginning, when you check it in the Court Record, and when you quote it in court, etc... all the time, the conversation is changing, new lines are being added in, and some lines are being altered. When I played it, I kept noticing that, thinking "Huh? They didn't say that!"

And anything they say in court you can interpret them as paraphrasing it :P

In 3-3, Jean's French is positively atrocious. Horrifically bad.
Most of it - the misuse of 'la', for example - can be explained by assuming he doesn't actually speak French, and is just slipping in a few random words he does know. But one only happens due to the fact that the dialogue is written out in the game, not spoken.
He frequently refers to various male characters as 'Mon. <whatever>'. The abbreviation for Monsieur is 'M.'...'Mon.' is...well, it's actually meaningless, but it's close to 'Mons.', an abbreviation for Monsignor, a title within the hierarchy of the Catholic church. So, it's kind of fun to imagine Jean calling Nick 'Monsignor Wright'.

Perhaps they just used Mon. instead of M. so that the players who didn't really know French could be sure he was saying Monsieur instead of some other word?

Wait... maybe he's such a bad cook because he is faking it, so he didn't understand anything his teacher said! :D (Except "you need to study for 10 more years".)
Although I honestly do think the 'por favor' thing was for humor ^_~

Description: So we all know that Yanni doesn't have brain damage. Right? Well then why did he tell Polly to remember DL-6, therefor creating the possibilty of being caught? And why didn't he burn the note, but keep it in the place where anyone can wander in and ask Polly how to open?

Power was back on, actually... Unless you have an explanation as to how else...
I believe that the correct possibilities would have been one of these:
1. There were no cameras in the courthouse.
2. If there were, they would need time to be rebooted after the power came back on, in order to record everything.
However... Maybe there's a security guard in the room, right? If that was the case, he could have still seen the act... right?
Sadly, this is not the case. As soon as the power went out, security would be forced to guard the exits of the courthouse, so that no "Suspects" could escape. Rest assured, if a criminal wanted the best time to escape and not be caught on camera, it would be while everyone is scrambling around trying to get the situation under control, and assess the damage, with the lights out, and no cameras on.
However, if there was a camera, it was rebooting its systems. Anyone who has owned/used a desktop computer, and used it when the power went out, knows good and well that it has to reboot its systems when the power comes back on. And some computers require User Input to be made afterwards, and there wouldn't be a guard in the security room to do that anyways, since they would be tending to the aftermath of the quake.
That detailed enough? Heh...

Anyway, they thought the murder occurred while the power was out, so there's no guarantee that they'd even check the tapes.

Type of Cough-up: Script Error?
Location: 3-4
If you present wrong evidence, one of Mia's lines will claim that "the defendant is lying." Mia is a defense attorney, so the defendant is her client. Why would Mia want to accuse him of lying?
Possible solution: The translators/writers made a mistake. It should have said "witness."

Who is on the stand when she says this? If I remember right (which is kind of rare sometimes XD), there's a point in that case where the defendant DOES lie to cover up for Dahlia...but even if that's wrong, I'm almost positive he testifies about something. So if you present the wrong evidence to one of his statements, you still think it's the right evidence, so you WOULD say, "The defendant is lying because of this evidence...Judge: No he's not etc."
There have been many times when the defendant in one of your cases has lied of the stand. Sometimes you have to prove them wrong to prove their innocence. :-D
But if it was just a witness on the stand, then yeah, that would be a script error.

Well, in BOTH cases Mia has been in, her client has lied repeatedly while on, and off, the stand... And the argument of "Mia is a defense attorney, so the defendant is her client. Why would Mia want to accuse him of lying?" as is immediately torn down by Grossberg in 3-1, and Gavin in 4-1. Heck, it's also in 3-2 numerous times, but lets not get off topic...
A Defense Attorney's job, in the PW Universe only, sadly, is not to cover for their client, but to find the truth. A point which is illustrated numerous times in the series, including by Edgeworth, Mia, and many others. Her goal isn't just to help her client, but to find out everything that really happened in the cases she works on...
And if that means that she has to tear down the walls that whoever is lying to her put up... Defendant included... than that's just how it works and she knows that she has to simply tear down the walls and expose the truth behind the walls of lies.
... at least, that's what I think.

I'm gonna attack this particular part of the post, and someone else, if they want, can tackle the second part:
Firstly, SPOILER TAG THIS!!! Ugh...
And I will as well!
However, there is ONE question you did not address:
"How did Morgan KNOW this was going to occur for this long?"
Perhaps someone could explain how she had knowledge of such things as "The Special Course Appealing to Maya", "Misty Fey Appearing", etc.?

I can't explain the second part, especially considering that Misty was thought to be dead.

I'm glad you saw through my first question, since I was hoping someone would... Yes, I knew the answer to the first question before I asked it, but I like watching others answer my questions.
At the end there, I kind've lost my remaining train of thought. Sorry, it's been happening a lot lately.

Sorry, it's not nearly that simple. If the latter part of the letter was honestly, just that, then I can only wonder what the hell the Planning Session was like.
"Okay, you have to KILL her... Understand!?"
"... I'm sorry, I'm not sure I follow."
"Fine, I'll write you a note."
"YAY! I CAN READ THINGS!"
... Sorry, had 2.
And Moonfall? He already lies a few times by then, actually... in fact, Gumshoe even says he lied at one point, depending on what you press...
