Case 5 - Rise From the Ashes  
Trial (Day 3) - Part 6

![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well, Mr. Wright. If you can show us evidence in this video that indicates

![](http://lpix.org/2675775/pwrong1.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (I might be walking right into Officer Marshall’s trap.)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): (I’d better try and find out a little more information.)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): It seems we should be moving back to the testimony.

![](http://lpix.org/2448919/PWanimation1.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Very well. Officer Marshall, can you please give your testimony again?

And that would loop us. Clearly the wrong answer.

![](http://lpix.org/2675776/PWimage1.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2491105/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Very well.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): Allow me to point out your mistake, Officer Marshall!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): Tread carefully, Mr. Wright,  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): or you might wind up being the one making the mistake.

![](http://lpix.org/2379348/PWanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Now then, let’s have another look at the video. Show us this incriminating evidence of the witness…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Officer Jake Marshall!

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Bringing our attention back to the security camera…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): is a mistake I’m afraid you’ll soon not forget, Officer Marshall.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574428/Jake_Knife.png): The days are short in Texas… and so are our tempers. Could you sum up what you have to say in eight words or less?

![](http://lpix.org/2491105/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Very well.

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

[![](http://tindeck.com/image/dkpeb/stats.png)](http://tindeck.com/listen/dkpeb)

![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): You can clearly be seen in this video!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574428/Jake_Knife.png): Exactly eight words…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): Not bad, pardner.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): The key…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): lies in a certain locker shown in the video.

![](http://i.imgur.com/fusqxdV.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): Now then, let’s rewind the video a bit.

![](http://lpix.org/2675778/PWimage3.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What’s the meaning of this, Officer Marshall!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): When the crime took place… The white cloth wasn’t there.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Then… it suddenly appeared! There’s only one explanation:

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Officer Marshall! You were in the evidence room at the time of the crime!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): What’s more, you opened your locker when the camera was turned away!

![](http://lpix.org/2674911/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2379348/PWanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Order! Order!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): It would seem that’s the only-  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): Hold your horses! Sorry, pardner…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): but you got the wrong man.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): So what if my locker was opened?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574431/Jake_Stern.png): That doesn’t mean I’m the one who opened it!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): The murderer needed to hide something, so he opened a locker and stuck it in.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574428/Jake_Knife.png): It’s not my fault he happened to choose mine!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574428/Jake_Knife.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): Why’s everyone staring at me like I’m a wanted man?

![](http://lpix.org/2675779/PWimage4.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (He really doesn’t know!)

![](http://lpix.org/2675780/PWimage5.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): but you’re the only person who can open that particular locker.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): Oh yeah? I call your bluff.

![](http://lpix.org/2675781/PWimage6.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2396287/Takethat.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/llkc)

![](http://lpix.org/2675782/PWimage7.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2491105/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): We talked about this earlier today.

![](http://lpix.org/2675783/PWimage8.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2675784/Jake_Hurt.png): W-what kinda crazy talk is this!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (Well, Detective Gumshoe did mention something about this…)

![](http://lpix.org/2675843/PWimage9.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2383644/Gumshoe_Happy.png): There’s even some people in the force that don’t know about the fingerprint locks!

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): So, sheriff!

![](http://lpix.org/2675844/PWimage10.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2675845/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2675784/Jake_Hurt.png): I only got one word for you, pardner.

![](http://lpix.org/2675846/PWanimation3.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2674911/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2379348/PWanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Order! Order! Order!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Witness! Explain yourself!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2675784/Jake_Hurt.png): If this is a joke, it’s the worst I’ve ever heard…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): I assure you this is no joke, Officer Marshall.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): Now then, please tell us what you were doing in the evidence room at the time of the crime?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2675784/Jake_Hurt.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Olé! Please answer the question!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): (What is he now, a bullfighter?)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): That’s alright, Officer Marshall.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): I believe we can figure othe rest out from here.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): We can?

![](http://lpix.org/2675847/PWimage11.png)

[![](http://tindeck.com/image/eeljh/stats.png)](http://tindeck.com/listen/eeljh)

![](http://lpix.org/2675848/PWimage12.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2675850/PWanimation4.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): If that’s so, then…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): where was the witness?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): It seems Mr. Wright has an answer.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (That’s right. The only possible conclusion!)

![](http://lpix.org/2379348/PWanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well then? Let’s hear it.

![](http://lpix.org/2675851/PWimage13.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2396287/Takethat.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/llkc)

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Officer Marshall was standing right here!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): There? But that’s…

![](http://lpix.org/2675853/PWimage14.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2453886/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Correct… unless the man wasn’t Detective Goodman.

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): I believe the “victim” in the video is… Officer Marshall!

[![](http://tindeck.com/image/usvyb/stats.png)](http://tindeck.com/listen/usvyb)

![](http://lpix.org/2675854/PWimage15.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2387500/Objection.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/juhh)

![](http://lpix.org/2422640/PWanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2386837/Edgeworth_Stern.png): But that’s preposterous! Officer Meekins witnessed the detective at the crime scene!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): Once he saw the man’s face, he’d know for sure!

[![](http://lpix.org/2387500/Objection.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/hzdj)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): May I point out though, that Officer Meekins did not know Detective Goodman.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377212/Phoenix_Papers.png): He also testified about the man’s reaction when confronted.

![](http://lpix.org/2675855/PWimage16.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): Yes? And how did Detective Goodman respond?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2626183/Mike_Upset.png): He suddenly pulled a knife on me!

![](http://lpix.org/2675856/PWimage17.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): If the man had his ID card, why didn’t he just show it?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Yes, he would have needed it to enter the evidence room, so he must have been carrying it.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): The answer is simple.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): He couldn’t show it.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2386837/Edgeworth_Stern.png): !

![](http://lpix.org/2675857/PWimage18.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Oh, I get it.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): If he showed that, his cover would have been blown!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): Officer Meekins would have realized the man wasn’t Detective Goodman.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): Do you have anything to say to this, Officer Marshall?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2675784/Jake_Hurt.png): …

![](http://lpix.org/2675845/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2675784/Jake_Hurt.png): You’ve got quite an imagination, pardner.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): We got a term for that. It’s called “circumstantial evidence.”  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Circumstantial evidence…? (He’s still denying it!)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): You’re gonna have to do better than that to break a detective.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574431/Jake_Stern.png): Unless you have hard evidence proving I dressed up as the victim…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): Hmm…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): I can’t say I particularly care for your uncooperative disposition…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574428/Jake_Knife.png): I can’t say I care for your beard, but you don’t see me complainin’.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well, Mr. Wright? Do you have any evidence? Any evidence proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Officer Marshall dressed up as the victim?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Well…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): (Who am I kidding? I don’t have anything like that…)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): I can see the fear in your eyes, pardner.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2629682/Jake_Drink.png): Seems you’re the one who couldn’t take the desert heat!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): Ack! (This can’t be happening!)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (It’s so obvious he’s the one! What can I do…?)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): …

![](http://lpix.org/2422533/PWanimation4.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2389337/Edgeworth_Cocky.png): Hmph.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387503/Edgeworth_Sly.png): It looks like your lack of experience has finally been exposed.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): !  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): I’ll pass onto you what someone told me when I was just starting out. When you’ve run into a wall with no place to go, return to the basics.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): The basics… (For me, that would be what Mia used to tell me!)

![](http://lpix.org/2676020/PWimage19.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (I shouldn’t look for proof that Officer Marshall was in disguise…)

[![](http://tindeck.com/image/dwiki/stats.png)](http://tindeck.com/listen/dwiki)

![](http://lpix.org/2676021/PWimage20.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2676022/PWimage21.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What do you mean?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): There’s no reason for Officer Marshall to open his locker at the time of the crime.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): Yet he did, despite the chance it might be discovered later as it has been.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (Which means he didn’t originally plan to open his locker…!)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): According to the defense’s argument,

![](http://lpix.org/2676023/PWimage22.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Then, after the crime was “committed,”

![](http://lpix.org/2676024/PWimage23.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): The fact that a white “cloth” is sticking out of the locker seems to indicate that  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): he opened it in order to put the cloth inside.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): So…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): just what exactly is this piece of cloth?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): Perhaps…

![](http://lpix.org/2676025/PWimage24.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): (I don’t have any evidence, so this video’s my only shot!)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): …

![](http://lpix.org/2379348/PWanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Very well.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Let’s take yet another look at the security tape. After committing the crime, the witness opened the locker to put away the white cloth.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Please show us why the witness had to open his locker!

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): For some reason, you disguised yourself as Detective Goodman,  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): and entered the evidence room. I don’t know what that reason was… yet.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): “Yet”?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): However, something unexpected happened.

![](http://lpix.org/2676027/PWimage26.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): When asked to show your ID card, you pulled a knife on him. However!

![](http://lpix.org/2676028/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): and the white coat you were wearing was soiled with blood!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): A bloody white coat…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): You couldn’t just walk out like that,  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): so you hid the coat in your locker.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574431/Jake_Stern.png): Not bad, huh “pardner”?

![](http://lpix.org/2674911/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Now then, Officer Marshall.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Are you ready to tell us the truth?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): Looks like I underestimated y’all.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574431/Jake_Stern.png): I hope you’re happy now, Mr. Edgeworth.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): Two years ago… If you were only half as persistent then as you are today,  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): we all wouldn’t have to be here, now would we?

![](http://lpix.org/2422534/PWanimation5.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Officer Marshall!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Tell the court what you did… all of it.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): Alright.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574425/Jake_Menace.png): It seems the time has come.

![](http://lpix.org/2676035/PWimage32.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): So the supposed “victim” was really you…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): But there’s one thing I still don’t understand. Large quantities of blood traces were found on the floor of the evidence room.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): If no one was murdered, then how could that be?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574428/Jake_Knife.png): Officer Meekins managed to cut his own hand.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2574429/Jake_Normal.png): My guess is he’s the donor.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): (It looked like too much blood for that…)

Next time: Cross-examination.
