So, yeah, Kirihito's the guilty party of case 4.
But what's he guilty of?
Manslaughter or murder?

Yes, he intended to kill Makoto, but he did know the poison was still in the Ese's household. It could have killed Doburoku, and it did.
So, what do you think he's guilty of?

Spoiler:
At least trying of murder (teice"
- "Kristoph gave Makoto a bottle of nail polish laced with a deadly poison. It ended up not working"
- "He tried to cover his tracks by sending to Makoto a stamp also laced with poison, instructing her to use it when she sent back his receipt. But Makoto escaped death again by deciding to save the stamp"

In a way it doesn't entirely matter, because being convicted after 4-1 would have given him the death penalty. But he probably would have been given murder and attempted murder for 4-4 (just because he killed the wrong person doesn't mean it's less than murder - like Acro).

I always wonder why Kristoph bothered to have a seizure in court after being declared Guilty.

Seriously, what was in it for him? He had already been sentenced so there was no reason for him to go ballistic and shit bricks. Maybe I'm thinking too deeply on the matter but it is puzzling.

Well first of all, it's not like he *chose* to flip his shit. He was royally pissed! :redd:

And it wasn't that he was declared guilty. The one thing he didn't want to get out was the fact that he was the one who framed Phoenix all those years ago, and he thought he was safe, because no one had any evidence that he had done it. Phoenix had no legal way of proving Kristoph guilty of the forgery. So Phoenix did the only thing he could do: he helped change law itself, so that he wouldn't *need* proof in order to prove to the world that Kristoph was guilty.

Phoenix took away the one thing Kristoph thought was protecting him: he changed the rules and tricked Kristoph into exposing himself. That's why he flipped out.

Is the victory in 4-4 diminished because you're nailing a guy that's already in prison and already has an axe to his neck? I can see how it's supposed to be more about vindicating Phoenix than putting the bad guy away, but something about it just doesn't sound quite as epic as convicting Gant or Engarde. Yet at the same time it's good that they're trying to keep you on your toes rather than using the same old tricks.

I guess the idea of his perfection being disrupted would probably be cooler if it wasn't used to death on Manfred and Franziska.

He's a man that pretty much prides himself on his appearance.
Spoiler: 4-4
After 4-1 people were talking about him, wondering what made him kill a man he'd never met before. Not to mention he's a paranoid man; so he was glad his secret was safe, and his pride intact.

But then his secret was discovered: Not only was he found guilty for getting Nick disbarred but he was a complete failure at trying to silence all the people that were connected to it. He turned from mysterious to a laughing stock overnight, and it was all due to his own apprentice and the man who if had hated just because he was better than him.

The world finally found out Kristoph Gavin was a petty, paranoid failure, and got caught out by his most hated rival changing the rules.

So I think there's plenty impact to be found here. :)

It's true that the ending of 4-4 lacked a little impact (to me, at least). I really enjoyed it because the play between Kristoph, Apollo, and Klavier was pretty intense near the end, but without a final piece of evidence to present it didn't pack the same punch. And though Kristoph's breakdown is impressive, it's not as meaningful as it could have been, if his motive hadn't boiled down to simple jealousy.

I still have a faint hope of Kristoph coming back in a later game to fill in some extra info about him and his brother. Not as a villain again (you can only kill so many people from prison!) but as a relevant witness to some other, older case... I think it's an oppertunity they haven't had in the series before, and it could make for an interesting twist.

I think manslaughter or murder 1 for Doburoku (depending on state), reckless endangerment and conspiracy to murder for Makato. He didn't kill Makato, but he had the full intention of doing so, hence the conspiracy. Reckless endangerment because even though he didn't kill her, he did put her at risk.

Quoting the Washington State Legislature;
Quote:
(1) A person is guilty of reckless endangerment when he or she recklessly engages in conduct not amounting to drive-by shooting but that creates a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to another person.

(2) Reckless endangerment is a gross misdemeanor


Which means Kirihito would get off with just a slap on the wrist... in Washington at least.

He didn't intend to kill Doburoku so that would fall under manslaughter.

Quoting the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes;
Quote:
ยง 2502. Murder.

"Intentional killing."
Killing by means of poison, or by lying in wait, or by any other kind of willful, deliberate and premeditated killing.

Be that as it may, Vauxdan, he was already awaiting execution for 4-1. So it really doesn't matter what he'd get in 4-4. :P It's the impact of him being found out for what a worthless man he is that counted.

I always thought it would be a nice idea for case 5-1 or 6-1 to play as Kristoph who's tutoring Apollo during his case, maybe during that time we can find out some bits and pieces of their characters. Maybe Kristoph could even go up against his brother in court.

As an Apollo flashback? I think it's a fantastic idea. Then there'd still be a reason for Kristoph to re-explain the game controls, without using the amnesia excuse again. In general I'm not really a fan of flashbacks, but... I'd make an exception for Gavinses <3

Kristoph's inner monologue would be so cool to see, as well. I approve of that idea. =D

It's called the "Guilty Gag". It happens when people are finally convicted. It's a real thing. I had a guy try and jump a table. He didn't get very far wearing ankle shackles.

Besides, it's boring when criminals behave.

Punishment wise...

*pulls caselaw from book shelf*

Manslaughter can anything from probation to 15 years in prison.

Also, for attorneys, forging evidence is a Class A Felony. Conviction of any form of felony is automatic disbarment. I would die if I lost my law license.

Um, I'm assuming by felonies you mean serious crimes. I mean, if it wasn't then you'd be paranoid about getting parking tickets. XD As for the 'guilty gag', it seems that guilt can play a part in it. Paranoid people like Kristoph react more explosively, and overall temprement affects it too. For all of his outward appearance of a cool collected man, he was a hot-head.
