- Witness's Account - [Frank Sahwit]

I was going door-to-door, selling subscriptions when I saw a man fleeing an apartment.

I thought he must be in a hurry because he left the door half-open behind him.

Thinking it strange, I looked inside the apartment.

Then I saw her lying there… A woman… not moving… dead!

I quailed in fright and found myself unable to go inside.

I thought to call the police immediately!

However, the phone in her apartment wasn't working.

I went to a nearby park and found a public phone.

I remember the time exactly: it was 1:00 PM.

The man who ran was, without a doubt, the defendant sitting right over there.

***

- The Time of Discovery - [Frank Sahwit]

You see, when I found the body, I heard the time.

There was a voice saying the time… It was probably coming from the television.

Oh, but it was three hours off, wasn't it?

I guess the victim must have been watching a video of a taped program!

That's why I thought it was 1:00 PM!

Terribly sorry about the misunderstanding. [3DS Trilogy Addition]

***

- Hearing the Time - [Frank Sahwit]

Actually, I didn't "hear" the time… I "saw" it!

There was a table clock in the apartment, wasn't there!

Yeah, the murder weapon! The killer used it to hit the victim!

That must have been what I saw.

- Maya Fey's Arrest - [Dick Gumshoe]

As soon as the phone call came in, I rushed to the scene!

There were two people there already:

The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey, and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

I immediately arrested Ms. Maya Fey!

Why? We had a witness account describing her!

The witness saw Ms. Maya Fey at the very moment of the murder!

***

- Hard Evidence - [Dick Gumshoe]

After securing the suspect, I examined the scene of the crime with my own eyes.

I found a memo written on a piece of paper next to the victim's body!

On it, the word "Maya" was written clearly in blood!

Lab test results showed that the blood was the victim's!

Also, there was blood found on the victim's finger!

Before she died, the victim wrote the killer's name!

***

- Witness's Account - [April May]

It was, like, 9:00 at night. I looked out the window, y'know!

And then, oooh! I saw a woman with long hair being attacked!

The one attacking her was the mousy girl sitting in the defendant's chair!

Then the woman, like, dodged to one side and ran away!

But that girl, she caught up to her and… and… She hit her!

***

- Witness's Account - [April May]

I did see everything! I did!

The victim – the woman – dodged the first attack and ran off to the right.

Then the girl in the hippie clothes ran after her…

And she hit her with that weapon! I saw it! I did!

That… that clock! Um… the kinda statue-y clock? "The Thinker," I think?

***

- Miss May's Room Service -

I am the head bellboy at the fine Gatewater Hotel, in business for four generations!

I believe I received a call after 8:00 in the evening from our guest, Miss May.

She asked for an ice coffee to be brought to her at 9:00, on the dot, sir.

I brought it to her at precisely the requested time, of course.

And I delivered the ice coffee to our guest Miss May, herself.

***

***

- Witness's Account - [Redd White]

Let's see, it was about 9:00, I believe.

I was quietly perusifying… er, that's "reading" to you, some papers by the window.

Then I heard a bedlam coming from outside!

Surprised, I turned to look at the building across the way.

It was then I saw him: a spiky-haired man attacking a woman with long hair!

Needless to say that man was none other than you, Mr. Lawyer.

I called Miss May over at once. She, too, was surprised of course.

The victim, she… she ran away, but you gave chase!

>> The victim ran to the left, and you gave chase!

Finally there was a terrible impaction! Then it was all over…

***

- She Ran to the "Left" - [Redd White]

Miss May's testimony was correct… as was mine!

When you assaulted the girl, she first ran to the left.

And then you hit her, savagely! That is what I saw.

Next, with the last of her strength, she ran to the right.

You chased her, and delivered the final blow.

That is what Miss May saw.

You see? You hit her twice!

***

- The Two Accounts - [Redd White]

Umm, well, see — I looked at the other window when I heard that thing fall.

>> A light stand was lying on the floor when I looked.

Then, the next moment, I saw Miss Mia run to the left!

The killer, you, attacked her… but she dodged.

She turned, and ran for the door!

Then you did her in with a single blow! Thwap!

***

- The Wiretapping - [Redd White]

It was the beginning of September… the week before the murder.

I had entered the Fey & Co. Law Offices.

Of course, I had done so to place the wiretap.

That is when I saw this glass light stand.

- Witness's Account - [Wendy Oldbag]

On the day of the murder, I arrived at the guard station at 1:00 PM.

Poor old Hammer and the rest had been doing a run-through there since the morning.

I, well, I had some errands to run that morning.

Anyway, it was 1:00 when I got to the guard station.

I was at the main gate from then until 5:00!

Now, the murder happened at 2:30 PM, right?

Interesting to me, because a certain man walked right by me at 2:00 PM.

It was Powers! That man right there, and he was heading toward the studio!

***

- The Man in the Photo - [Wendy Oldbag]

I never say anything I don't mean, mind you!

That morning, during the run-through of the action scene…

I saw Powers trip and fall!

He broke one of the props, it was a big mess.

Apparently, he sprained his ankle pretty bad.

Now, look at that picture! [On the 3DS Trilogy, this statement isn't available]

You can see he's dragging his leg! See? Clear as day!

That's how I knew it was Powers. Happy?

***

- Witness's Account (cont.) - [Wendy Oldbag]

The time of poor Hammer's death was 2:30 PM, true?

The only person I saw go to the studio before then was Will Powers!

No one else went there!

If they had, I would have seen them!

***

- The Other Person - [Wendy Oldbag]

Every day, after I finish my guard duties, I have one other important job to do.

I go through the photos recorded on the security computer and check them.

I throw out any photos that aren't suspicious lookin', you see.

Come to think of it, now I remember throwing out one photo that day!

***

- My Lips Were Sealed - [Wendy Oldbag]

Global Studios wanted me to keep quiet about something.

There were… some other people at the studios on the day of the murder

.

They said they had "nothing to do with it", see?

So they told me to just pretend they "hadn't been at the studios that day".

But if you're going to go accusing me, I'm not letting them get away scot free!

***

***

- The Day of the Murder - [Sal Manella]

I was at the studios from around 9:00 that morning.

During the morning, I was doing… umm… an action run-through.

It took a lot more time than I thought it would.

I hear that everyone else ate lunch in the Employee Area…

But I had a meeting in the Studio Two trailer, so I ended up skipping lunch.

We were in the meeting until around 4:00…

During the meeting, well, I'm pretty sure no one left their chairs.

***

- The Break - [Sal Manella]

Yeah, FWIW, we took a break… ROFL!

But it was only 15 minutes! 15! That's only 13 in Base 12!

Not enough time for someone to, say, commit murder in Studio One! LOL!

That's only just enough time to eat a t-bone steak, if you ask me!(steams)

***

- Witness’s Account - [Cody Hackins]

I wanted to see a Steel Samurai rehearsal, just once.

I found a map on the Internet, and went to the studios that day.

I went through the woods, off the path, so that old lady wouldn't catch me.

I was going for the studio.

I got kinda lost on the way, though. For about 30 minutes.

When I came out by the studio, there was the Steel Samurai!

It totally rocked! Right before my eyes, out came the bad guy!

Of course, the Steel Samurai took him down! Pow!

If I had my camera with me, that woulda been the time for a shot, I tell you.

Anyway, I couldn't get into the studio, so I went home. [Not on 3DS Trilogy]

***

- What I saw - [Cody Hackins]

Y-yeah, I had my camera with me.

But I was glued to the action! I couldn't take my eyes off it!

The Steel Samurai, he goes for the bad guy… wham!

Then… then the bad guy stopped moving!

He's so strong! The Steel Samurai rules!

***

- No Photo? - [Cody Hackins]

Yeah, you're right, pops.

The Steel Samurai had just escaped from the clutches of the villain.

So I held up my camera to take a picture!

But the lens wouldn't open in time, so I missed it.

Th-That's all that happened. Yup.

>> I took a few shots, but it was too late, so I erased 'em

***

***

- The Day of the Murder - [Dee Vasquez]

I entered the trailer, oh, a little before noon.

The meeting began at 12:00 sharp. It ended at 4:00.

There was to be a rehearsal afterwards, so we went to Studio One…

I was fatigued, so I had Sal take me.

At 2:30, we took a 15-minute break in the meeting.

Sal and I ate t-bone steaks on the table in front of the trailer.

We found Hammer's body later, when we all went to Studio One.

***

- After Finding the Body - [Dee Vasquez]

I was with Sal and Oldbag, the security lady, when we found the body.

The assistant was there, too. Only Powers was absent.

I immediately called the police. Then Powers showed up.

The security lady, Oldbag, was quite agitated. Pointing at Powers, saying "He did it!".

I asked to be left out of the proceedings.

I went back to the trailer to get my script and direction notes.

>> I knew that Hammer was injured and couldn't do any action scenes, so I left them behind.

Then I went home.

- The Arrest of Edgeworth - [Dick Gumshoe]

A man called into the station around 30 minutes after midnight.

We headed to the scene of the crime as fast as we could.

That's where we found Mr. Edgeworth.

Now I didn't suspect him of anything at all.

But… the next morning, a body was found at the lake.

>> The murder weapon we found on the boat was decisive evidence.

So we had to arrest Mr. Edgeworth.

***

- Witness's Account - [Lotta Hart]

It was Christmas Eve, just after midnight, I reckon.

I was in my car.

I heard this "bang" come up from the lake.

When I looked out the window, I saw two gents in the boat.

Then there was another "bang"…

There wasn't nary a thing on the lake but that boat.

>> I saw it as clear as day. The man on the boat was Mr. Edgeworth!

***

- How Edgeworth Was Seen - [Lotta Hart]

Yer right. It was a cold night, and the fog was thick as grits.

So, once I was finished setting up my camera, I got back in the car.

Still, I brought my binoculars with me.

>> The camera was set up to take pictures of a meteor shower.

When I heard that noise out on the lake, I looked with my binoculars.

See? No problem!

***

- Lotta's New Testimony - [Lotta Hart]

Actually, I'm not a research student at a university.

I'm an investigative photographer.

Imagine what a scoop it'd be if I got a picture of that monster!

That's why I was camping out by the lake.

But, that's all I was hiding.

When I heard the "bang" I looked right straight out at that lake.

There wasn't much else to look at, so I just watched that boat the whole time.

Then I saw a flash, near one of the men's hands, and I heard another gunshot.

I was looking right at that boat, the whole time, cross my heart and hope to fry. [Not in 3DS Trilogy]

***

***

- The Night of the Murder - [Yanni Yogi]

It was the night of the 24th, just after midnight, ayup.

I was in the restaurant… where I er… rent boats, as usual.

Then I heard a "bang!". Ayup.

When I looked out the window, I saw a boat just a' floating on the lake.

Then I heard another "bang".

Just about then the boat comes to shore, and a man walks by my window.

>> That man was the defendant… he was saying, 'I can't believe he's dead.

***

- The Night of the Murder - [Larry Butz]

That night, I was out in the boat on the lake.

I was looking for something, and I, er, found it.

So I quietly slipped the boat back in at the rental shop dock.

Then, just as I was thinking about going home, I heard this "bang"!

I looked out over the lake, but I didn't notice the boat.

So after I heard that single gunshot I went home.

***

- What Larry Heard - [Larry Butz]

It's lonely, being alone on Christmas Eve!

That's why I was listening to an all-requests show on the radio, see?

I was listening to it real booming loud, like.

But I'm sure I heard that gunshot!

I remember exactly what the DJ was saying when I heard it, too.

>> Just when she said 'Hey! it's almost Christmas!' I heard the gunshot!

***

***

- Why I Left Court - [Yanni Yogi]

Er, I'm really sorry about just leaving yesterday like I did.

But, I wasn't running away or nothing.

I, uh, went to buy some food for Polly, see…

I figured I got nothing to do with this incident anyhow.

Err… I mean, I'd need one of those "motive" things, right? And I don't got one.

So, my testimony yesterday stands as is. [Not available on 3DS Trilogy]

***

- Who Is Your Owner? - [Polly the Parrot]

"Hello! Hello!" *squawk*

"…"

***

- The DL-6 Incident - [Miles Edgeworth]

That day, I had gone to the courtroom to observe one of my father's trials.

As we went to leave, an earthquake struck, trapping us in the elevator.

My father and Mr. Yogi lost their composure, and began to argue.

Just then, something heavy fell at my feet.

I picked it up, and threw it at Mr. Yogi. I wanted them to stop fighting.

A moment later, there was a single gunshot, and then a scream.

It was a terrible scream. I remember it to this day.

That's all. [Not available on 3DS Trilogy]

- Witness's Account - [Angel Starr]

Somehow, I always knew a day like this would come.

I was on my way to deliver a lunchbox to my boyfriend…

When I sensed something… perhaps it was my finely-honed detective instincts working.

Then, through a wire fence, I saw the chief prosecutor standing next to a garish car.

The chief prosecutor was holding a knife in her right hand…

Then, she thrust the pointy tip of the knife into Detective Goodman's chest!

>> The murder was planned! The rubber gloves prove it!

***

- Angel's Deduction - [Angel Starr]

Lana Skye intended to murder Detective Goodman!

That's why she called the victim all the way to the Prosecutor's Office.

I'm sure the Chief Prosecutor had a grudge against the victim.

Nothing else could drive that human machine to plunge the knife in again and again…

>> Her red muffler looked like blood to me… that's how ghastly the whole scene was.

***

- Apprehending the Suspect - [Angel Starr]

After the murder, the suspect attempted to run behind a partition off to her side.

I quickly caught her, explained her rights to her, and arrested her on the spot.

Ah yes. When I arrested her, she mentioned the muffler!

>> She gave up trying to use the phone on the wall and just used her cell phone!

That's what had me confused in my earlier testimony!

The chief prosecutor made to escape, but against Angel Starr, resistance is futile!

***

- Decisive Evidence - [Angel Starr]

I should have mentioned those five minutes when I wasn't looking at the crime scene.

And now, to the matter to the victim's shoe… Did I not bring this up…?

Two types of blood were found on this shoe! One was of course the victim's.

And the other blood type... matched that of the defendant, Ms. Lana Skye!

This shoe proves it! It's flawless, decisive evidence!

***

- Department in Disorder - [Damon Gant]

This knife is special… but I can't say how here.

Unless there's evidence to prove a connection between this knife and Goodman…

>> This knife was evidence in a case. It was stolen from the Department's evidence room.

That was a bad day for the Department. We weren't in any shape to do an investigation.

A detective was killed at the Police Department, see… what a mess!

The time of the crime? 5:15. Scary coincidence, eh?

It's not officially linked to this here case, so I can't talk much about it.

>> I'll cooperate, but I can't reveal the name of the victim in the Department, okay?

***

***

- Crime Report, Sir! - [Mike Meekins]

Although it's not my normal duty, I was assigned to guard the evidence room that day!

I spotted a suspicious man on the security screen, and rushed into the room!

I was only doing what I was trained to do, sir!

I was suddenly attacked!

I fought for my life! Then I… I did it!

After that I passed out… until another officer smacked me awake!

***

- Mystery Man - [Mike Meekins]

His face can't be clearly seen in the video,

but there's no question that the other person was Detective Goodman, sir!

I mean, he opened the locker, which required Detective Goodman's fingerprint to do!

The locker he opened is unquestionably Detective Goodman's locker, sir!

So it must be him! No one else could have unlocked it!

***

- Mystery Man (2) - [Mike Meekins]

There's one other thing that proves the man was Detective Goodman, sir!

To enter the evidence room, one must use their ID card!

When an ID card is used, there's a record of it!

At the time of the crime, the detective had used his card!

***

- Day of the Crime - [Jake Marshall]

My job was to keep a wary eye on that bone orchard.

They said I was supposed to make rounds three times a day, but that ain't my style.

Besides, the room's protected by two security systems, anyway.

If I remember right, I was at a street-side saloon at the time it went down.

I'm just an innocent travelin' man, so if you're out of ammo it's time I hit the trail.

***

- Bloodstained Fingerprints - [Jake Marshall]

Like I said, it's only natural for my fingerprints to be in that evidence room.

One of them just happened to be at the same place as the bloodstained handprint.

The murderer touched the locker where my fingerprint was by chance.

The bloodstain and fingerprint are completely unrelated.

Or didn't you know the murderer was wearing gloves?

>> Too bad it wasn't me in that video, right, pardner?

***

- Marshall's Confession - [Jake Marshall]

I had to do it that day. I couldn't just stand by and let it die.

I stole the detective's ID, dressed like him. I planned to take out the evidence.

I wasn't expecting Officer Meekins. I knocked him out…

and managed to escape. I knew which areas wouldn't be caught on the camera.

There wasn't any murder in the evidence room at 5:15.

>> I can't just forget the SL-9 Incident… You know why?

***

***

- Two Years Ago - [Ema Skye]

I was waiting in my sister's office that day.

A man came running in, and took me hostage.

Neil Marshall rescued me,

but I'll never forget what I saw that instant!

>> I drew a picture of that scene once… but it seems to have been lost.

The man raised up his knife, and… and stabbed Mr. Marshall in the chest…!

***

- Ema's Picture - [Ema Skye]

This is the picture I drew two years ago.

The flash of lightning was so bright all I could see were shadows.

After that I must have fainted.

This picture shows exactly what I saw that instant!

***

- Ema's Recollection - [Ema Skye]

When I saw that man raise his knife…

I panicked, and rushed toward both of them.

I think I… I knocked away the man with the knife.

Just then there was another flash of lightning, and that's when I saw… the Blue Badger!

He wasn't in the room, but I'm sure I saw his shadow!

***

- SL-9 Incident - [Damon Gant]

As I recall, Neil and I were questioning him that day.

To make a long story short, we slipped up. That power outage didn't help either.

When I went to my office, I found Lana there.

Apparently she had already… "arranged" the crime scene.

As you can see, I had nothing to do with the "forgery".

***

- Evidence & Forgery - [Damon Gant]

For all I know, you could have planted them in my office.

Anyway, you can't prove "when" those pieces of evidence were discovered.

If they were found after Darke was convicted, then they're worthless.

There's no reason I'd participate in a forgery.

Rearranging the crime scene wouldn't help me out in any way.

>> I wouldn't be anyone's 'accomplice' if there was nothing in it for me

***

- Gant & The Fabrication - [Lana Skye]

I worked alongside Gant for years…

There's no truth to this "blackmail" theory.

I fabricated the evidence two years ago all by myself.

When I found Prosecutor Marshall's body, I rearranged the crime scene.

>> I broke off the tip of Darke's knife, planted it inside the wound, then moved the body.

>> The pieces of the jar that shattered during the events threatened my plan.

My only motivation was to get Darke convicted. It had nothing to do with Ema.

***

- Jar & Message in Blood - [Lana Skye]

I immediately noticed the blood traces on the jar,

but it was dark in the room and I didn't have time to check it out.

To be safe, I wiped away the blood.

The fragments were large, so I'm sure I got them all.

All I could think about was wiping them clean before they were discovered.

***

- Actual Crime Scene - [Lana Skye] // Was not cross examined. Courtesy of Damon Gant

When I arrived, I found Mr. Marshall's body impaled on that suit of armor's sword.

Ema and Darke were lying unconscious on the floor nearby.

When I saw what happened, I thought she… did it.

That's why I erased all the evidence that linked her to the murder.

I had Chief Gant help me remove the body from the sword and carry it…

But if it was all really was a fabrication, Ema might be innocent!
