District Court ... Defendant Lobby... 

Maya was outside discharging as she still had a lot of static electricity built up in her from getting shocked by von Karma! 

Luckily, Gumshoe burst in with news! 

Gumshoe: Good morning! 

(Y/N): Detective Gumshoe! 

Edgeworth: Uh... good morning.

Phoenix: How did it go, Detective?

Gumshoe: Have no fear! As promised, I've captured our runaway caretaker! I just brought him in. Took all night, pal.

(Y/N): Great job, Detective! Now we can win this case for sure! 

Phoenix: Let's hope so. 

You all went in, and took your places. 

The Judge slammed his gavel down to begin.

Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Mr. Miles Edgeworth.

Phoenix: The Defense is ready, Your Honor.

von Karma: ... The prosecution... is ready.

Judge: ... U-uh... right, very well. We have reached the final day of our proceedings in this trial. I ask that the prosecution submit decisive evidence.

von Karma: Understood.

Judge: Very well, Mr. von Karma, your opening statement.

von Karma: Right. Thanks to Detective Gumshoe's efforts, the boat rental shop caretaker has been arrested. In yesterday's trial, the defense asserted that the caretaker was the murderer. However, the caretaker has yet to confirm this. I would like to ask the defense to cross-examine him as much as necessary.

Judge: Very well! Please bring the witness into the courtroom.

The caretaker then walked up to the witness stand. 

von Karma: Ladies and gentlemen of the court... I believe you all remember our witness. He lives in the boat rental shop on the lake, from where he witnessed the incident. In addition, he has currently lost memory of his name and identity.

Judge: Witness! Why did you run away yesterday?

von Karma: OBJECTION! The witness was not running away, as he will now testify.

Judge: I-I see. Very well, please begin your testimony.

Witness Testimony: Why I Left Court...

Caretaker: 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. Er... I mean, I'd need one of those "motive" things, right? And I don't got one. So, my testimony yesterday stands as is.

Judge: Hmm... Very well. Let's begin the cross-examination, shall we?

(Y/N): We're going to prove that he's Yanni Yogi! 

Phoenix: By any means! 

Cross-Examination... 

The iffy parts were in the fourth and fifth statements! 

(Y/N): HOLD IT! You've lost much of your memory, correct? 

Caretaker: Ayup, seems like it. 

Phoenix: Then how could you know that you didn't have anything to do with this incident!

Caretaker: Uh...

(Y/N): Or... Or maybe you're lying about not having your memory, hmm? You know exactly who you are!

von Karma: OBJECTION! The witness has testified quite clearly that he has no memory of who he is. If you claim he's lying, then show the court proof!

(Y/N): DAMN! How can you say you had no motive? I say you do! You had a grudge against Edgeworth and the victim, Robert Hammond! That's why you took revenge on them! Right?

von Karma: OBJECTION! Don't make me repeat myself. This witness has no memory of anything beyond several years ago! He can't hold a grudge! It's impossible!

Judge: Defense. 

(Y/N) and Phoenix: Yeah? 

Judge: You've been saying the same thing now over and over. You've been calling the witness's memory of the past or lack thereof into question. But, does this really have anything to do with the current case?

Phoenix: Of course, Your Honor. The witness has said he has "nothing to do with this case" and "no motive"... Both of these statements are lies!

Judge: Wait, you know who the witness is?! 

Phoenix: Of course, Your Honor!

von Karma: Now, this is interesting. I would like to know myself! So, who is he?

(Y/N): Yanni Yogi! A former court baliff! 

Judge: ... Yogi...? That name seems familiar. ... Oh! Yanni Yogi! From the DL-6 Incident!

Phoenix: yes, and since he is Yogi, then he has a clear motive! 

von Karma: This man, this witness, is Yanni Yogi? Fascinating! However... How do you propose to prove this to the court?

Maya: How can we even prove that? 

Phoenix: It's actually simple. Your Honor! Please take this man's fingerprints! Then, we'll compare them to the fingerprints on file for Yanni Yogi 15 years ago...

Judge: I see... that makes sense.

Karma: Tsk tsk tsk! Sorry, but he has no fingerprints! 

(Y/N): NO FINGERPRINTS?! 

Caretaker: Er... you see, before I worked as a caretaker, I worked at a chemical plant. I burned my fingers working with the stuff. Ayup.

Judge: Hmm... Well, if the witness has no fingerprints... I guess we will not be able to prove his identity.

von Karma: Tsk tsk tsk. There is no one who can testify as to who this witness is! No one!  Perhaps you'd like to cross-examine the parrot for a little comic relief, hmm?

(Y/N): Huh? Wait ... maybe ... Phoenix! 

Phoenix: It could work. Your Honor! The defense would like to take Mr. von Karma up on his proposal!

Judge: Take Mr. von Karma up?

von Karma: WHAT?! 

Phoenix: Exactly, Your Honor! I would like to cross-examine the witness's pet parrot!

von Karma: THIS IS A FARCE! I OBJECTION! 

(Y/N): OBJECTION! You were the one who suggested we do it! Your Honor, we call forth the parrot! 

von Karma: This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!

Judge: Bailiff! Bring in the parrot.

Polly was then brought in. 

Judge: That's... quite a bird. Please tell us your name.

Polly didn't say anything. 

Judge: The witness is ignoring me.

(Y/N): Must be hard to be ignored by a bird. 

Judge: Ahem. Very well, witness... Who is your owner? Please, er... testify for us.

Witness Testimony: Who is your Owner? 

Parrot: "Hello! Hello!" (squawk)

Judge: Hmm... Certainly the most concise testimony we've had so far. Very well, begin your cross-examination.

Phoenix: Right...

Maya: What do we do? 

(Y/N): I'll instruct you, and then Phoenix and I will follow from there. 

Cross Examination... 

(Y/N): Okay Maya, ask Polly if we forgot something. 

Maya: OH! I see! Um, Polly? Have we forgotten something?

Parrot: "... ... Hello! Hello!" (squawk)

(Y/N): WHAT?! 

Maya: Th-that's not what you're supposed to say! Forgot! Something we forgot!

Parrot: "... ... Hello! Hello!" (squawk)

Maya: She's not saying it! 

von Karma:Tsk tsk tsk... Something the matter? 

(Y/N): NO! 

Phoenix: He retrained the parrot? 

(Y/N): We can still do this! Maya! Ask for her name! 

Maya: Okay! Polly! Polly! What's your name?

Parrot: "Pol-ly! Pol-ly!" (squawk)

Judge: I think we've established that this parrot is named "Polly." Does this have anything to do with her owner's identity?

(Y/N): Yes! Look at the Suspect Page for the DL-6 case! After he was arrested, his fiancee committed suicide! 

Judge: Hmm... Indeed, it does say that, yes.

(Y/N): And her name? 

Judge: Polly Jenkins. POLLY! 

Phoenix: Exactly, Your Honor! He remembered the name of his fiancee who committed suicide. That's why he named his parrot after her!

Judge: I see! I guess that is possible.

von Karma: OBJECTION! Bah! A mere coincidence, that's all! My granddaughter has a dog she calls "Phoenix." Well, Mr. Phoenix Wright? Does this make you my granddaughter's fiancee!? She's only seven years old!!!

Judge: Hmm... Indeed. Alone, it is a little weak for evidence in a murder trial. We would need some other corroborating evidence...

(Y/N): Maya, ask for the combination! 

Maya: Okay! Polly! What was the number of the safe in the shack?

Parrot: "1228... 1228..."

Judge: ... My, what a reckless parrot.

(Y/N): Take a look at the Case Summary Page. DL-6 took place on December 28, 15 years ago. 

Judge: Why today is December 28! 

Phoenix: He used the date of the DL-6 Incident as the number for his safe, Your Honor! That's how important that date was to him!

Judge: I see... it certainly is an interesting coincidence.

von Karma: OBJECTION! It's just a coincidence! 

Judge: However, two coincidences at the same time seems more like a "pattern" to me.

von Karma: Wh... what are you saying!?

Judge: Summon the caretaker of the boat shop. Immediately!

The caretaker was brought forward. 

Judge: Witness... Tell us your name.

von Karma: He d- 

???: It's okay. 

The caretaker changed to a more serious tone. 

Yogi: I've already accomplished what I wanted to do. 

(Y/N): So, he was faking it. 

Phoenix: This is the real Yogi, I think. Finally. He's been acting feeble to hide his true identity. Acting... for 15 years!

Judge: W-well...! Let me ask you again. Please state your name for the court!

Yogi: My name... is Yanni Yogi. 15 years ago, I served as a bailiff in this very court.

(Y/N): So, you tried to frame Miles Edgeworth for the murder of Robert Hammond? You killed him right? 

Yogi: ... Yes. It was me. I did it. ... They put me on the witness stand 15 years ago... Robert Hammond... he said I was mentally unsound. He told me it would make me innocent. Get me off the hook. So... I pretended to have brain damage... I was innocent, really! But he didn't believe me! We won the trial... But I lost everything. I lost my job, my fiancee, my social standing... ... Then, this year, 15 years later... A package arrived. It was a letter... and a pistol. The plan was written out in careful detail. It was a plan to take my revenge on the people who ruined my life. I didn't care who had sent it. I thought this was my chance, after 15 years, this was it! Finally, a chance to have my revenge on Robert Hammond and Miles Edgeworth... I have no regrets.

With that... 

Yogi was taken into custody. 

And soon Edgeworth took the stand. 

Judge: There are a few mysteries left unsolved. Still, you are cleared of suspicion for this particular case. So I would like to pass judgment on the murder of Mr. Robert Hammond. Any objections?

No one said anything. 

Judge: Very well, I now pronounce the defendant as- 

Edgeworth: OBJECTION! 

(Y/N): WHAT?! 

Phoenix: HUH?! 

Edgeworth: Your Honor. I object to your judgment.

Judge: Wh-what do you mean?

Edgeworth: I'm not innocent at all! As we have heard, Yanni Yogi killed Robert Hammond in revenge. But, revenge for what?

Maya: HE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT! 

(Y/N): I guess we have no choice. We have to help him confront the past. 

Edgeworth: For fifteen years... I have had a recurring dream. A nightmare... it's only a nightmare. That's what I told myself. But now I know, it wasn't a dream. Yanni Yogi wasn't the killer.

Judge: You mean... in the incident where your father died?

Edgeworth: From the distance of the shot, it wasn't suicide, either. Everything was as clear as day. The murderer... The criminal in the DL-6 Incident... It was me! Your Honor! I confess my guilt! I am guilty for DL-6, the statute of limitations of which ends today! The culprit... is me!

Everyone went into an uproar over this! 

Judge: Order! Order! This is certainly unexpected! The defendant, declared innocent, is confessing to another crime! A crime for which the statute of limitations runs out today! I'm not really sure how I should deal with this...

von Karma: Bah! It's obvious. We hold a trial. Right here. Right now. We try this man for his crime of fifteen years ago!

Judge: I think... I think I would like to take a five minute recess. During this time, I will consider the appropriate course of action to take. Court is adjourned!
