Case 5 - Rise From the Ashes  
Trial (Day 4) - Part 12

![](https://lpix.org/2611163/Gant_Normal.png): What’s the matter, cat got your tongue?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611166/Gant_Distracted.png): Aren’t you going to tell us how it feels?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2620054/Gant_Nasty.png): How it feels to be the one who single-handedly turned a poor little girl into a murderer!?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): …  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): Before I do that…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): there’s just one little thing I have to clear up.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611163/Gant_Normal.png): Oh? And what’s that?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): Who really  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): killed Prosecutor Neil Marshall.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What!?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Chief Gant, you are absolutely right.

![](http://lpix.org/2749956/PWimage1.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): It was  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Ema Skye, wasn’t it?

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

![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): I’m afraid that’s not possible. You see, this piece of cloth contains  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): a critical contradiction!

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

![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): What!? A contradiction!? What is this fool babbling about?

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

![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): I’m talking about a contradiction. One that proves…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): who the real killer is!

![](https://lpix.org/2745385/PWanimation3.gif)

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

![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): M-Mr. Wright! This piece of cloth…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What could it possibly contradict!?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (Chief Gant, your tyrannical reign ends here!)

![](http://lpix.org/2749960/PWimage2.png)

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

![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): And what exactly is this supposed to be…?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): This is the picture Ms. Skye took.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Take a good look at it.

![](http://lpix.org/2749961/PWimage3.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Yes… His shirt is showing underneath.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): It’s hard to make out with allt he blood on his vest, though.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377212/Phoenix_Papers.png): Exactly my point. His chest is soaked with blood. That’s only natural.

![](http://lpix.org/2749962/PWimage4.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Oh! But that  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): piece of cloth…

![](http://lpix.org/2749963/PWimage5.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Since Ema Skye’s fingerprints are on this cloth,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): there’s no doubt that she shoved the prosecutor aside!

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

![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): However!

![](http://lpix.org/2749964/PWimage6.png)

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

![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): No! Th-this is nonsense!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Now then, Chief Gant.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Let me ask you something. Prosecutor Marshall was not impaled when he was shoved aside.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): He most likely hit his head on the ground and was knocked out.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): If so, then tell me.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Who could it have been? Who could have arrived at the scene before Ms. Skye,

![](http://lpix.org/2749965/PWimage7.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2749966/PWimage8.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): Hnnngngghgghh…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2386837/Edgeworth_Stern.png): Then, to make it look like Ema was responsble for the prosecutor’s death,

![](http://lpix.org/2749967/PWimage9.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): Then he broke the jar on purpose, to leave behind a clue,

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

![](http://lpix.org/2749968/PWimage10.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): …  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Remember what you admitted only moments ago?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377212/Phoenix_Papers.png): That you personally cut out this bloodless piece of the victim’s vest?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Ironic, isn’t it?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): Through the very act of creating “insurance,”

![](http://lpix.org/2749969/PWimage11.png)

![](http://i.imgur.com/usYs5Ja.gif)

![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (It’s finished.)

![](https://lpix.org/2387500/Objection.gif)

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

![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): Heh heh heh!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2615360/Gant_Laugh.png): Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho!

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

![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): That was close, Wrighto! You almost had me!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): !  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): Sorry, but you’ll have to do better than that. I refute your allegations.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What do you mean, you “refute” his allegations?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): You see, that piece of cloth…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2620054/Gant_Nasty.png): is illegal evidence!

![](https://lpix.org/2745385/PWanimation3.gif)

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

![](https://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Order! Order!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What nonsense is this!?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): Illegal evidence cannot be used to convict a suspect!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): Remember, Udgey?

![](http://lpix.org/2749971/PWimage12.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2749972/PWimage13.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2611163/Gant_Normal.png): You do have  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2620054/Gant_Nasty.png): some conclusive evidence, don’t you?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): … Your Honor,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): I don’t have any evidence I can present at this time.

![](http://lpix.org/2749973/PWimage14.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): The defense did refuse to present evidence!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): At that moment,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): that piece of cloth ceased to be “legal evidence”!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2595246/Ema_Side.png): But that’s not fair…!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): Hoo hoo hoo hooooo! Did you actually think you could best me in court?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2620054/Gant_Nasty.png): It looks like the last laugh’s on you, son!

![](https://lpix.org/2745385/PWanimation3.gif)

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

![](https://lpix.org/2595039/PWanimation2.gif)

![](https://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): I’m afraid  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Mr. Gant’s claim is legally correct.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well, Mr. Edgeworth?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): True… Illegal evidence cannot be used to convict a person…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387503/Edgeworth_Sly.png): assuming, of course, that the evidence is indeed illegal.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Hmm?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well, Mr. Wright?

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

![](http://lpix.org/2749975/PWimage15.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2749976/PWimage16.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): Mr. Wright.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Do you admit to it?

![](http://lpix.org/2749977/PWimage17.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2749978/pwrong1.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (No! If I admit to that…)  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): (all of my planning will have been for nothing!)  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): It seems…

![](http://lpix.org/2749979/PWimage18.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): If you’re going to change your position,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): this is your only chance, Wright!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (He’s right…)

Which drops us at the right answer.

![](http://lpix.org/2749980/PWimage19.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Certainly,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): I refused to present evidence at one point.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2615360/Gant_Laugh.png): Aha!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2620054/Gant_Nasty.png): So the evidence is illegal!

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

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

![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): No it isn’t, Mr. Gant.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): Huh?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): It’s not that  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): I “didn’t” present evidence then…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): it’s that I “couldn’t.”  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What do you mean, you  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): “couldn’t”?

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

![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): There are certain procedures involved when presenting evidence!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): No, Udgey! Don’t listen to his lies! He’s nothing but a coward!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): You can’t let him?

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

![](https://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): There is only one issue left  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): to be resolved in this trial:

![](http://lpix.org/2749981/PWimage20.png)

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

![](https://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): Very well.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Let us settle this once and for all.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Earlier you refused to present evidence.

![](http://lpix.org/2749982/PWimage21.png)

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

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

![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): This is my proof, Your Honor: “Evidence Law.”  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): What’s this?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): I’ve done my homework too, Chief.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): Indeed, Ema Skye’s fingerprints were on this piece of cloth.

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

![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): However! At that point in time, this was merely a piece of cloth, nothing more.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): What?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): You see, it’s written right here in this book:  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): The second rule of evidence law!

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

![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): …!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): Rule 1: no evidence shall be shown without the approval of the Police Department!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): I found this piece of evidence myself…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): inside your safe. It goes without saying I did not have approval from the Police Department.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): Rule 2: unregistered evidence presented must be relevant to the case in trial.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): And  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): here is the crux of the matter. You see, at the time it was impossible  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): for me to prove the relevance…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): between the cloth and the SL-9 Incident.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): What!? What kind of nonsense  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): is this!?

![](http://lpix.org/2749983/PWimage22.png)

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

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

![](http://lpix.org/2749984/PWimage23.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): That was shown  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): only a few moments ago!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): No…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): He’s right.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387552/Edgeworth_Curious.png): At the beginning of today’s trial,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): that piece of cloth was still meaningless.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): The person who gave it value as evidence…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): was you,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): Damon Gant.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2735871/Gant_Angry.png): …!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): You yourself confessed to a certain “truth.”

![](http://lpix.org/2749985/PWimage24.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): On the day of the crime,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): you personally cut out this piece of the victim’s vest?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2615360/Gant_Laugh.png): Oh, yes!

![](http://lpix.org/2749986/PWimage25.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): It was then that you approved this cloth…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2386822/Edgeworth_Normal.png): as conclusive evidence.

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

![](https://lpix.org/2386837/Edgeworth_Stern.png): Yes! You, the Chief of Police, personally approved this cloth!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): The only person who could have cut this from the victim’s vest…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): is the one who stood before Prosecutor Marshall in his final moments.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2396262/Phoenix_Smug.png): In other words, the real murderer! And there’s only one person who that could be…

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

![](http://lpix.org/2749987/PWimage26.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2749970/Gant_Desperate.png): N… N…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611163/Gant_Normal.png): Mmph…

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

![](http://i.imgur.com/6XbcIUM.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2749989/PWimage27.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2749990/PWimage28.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2611163/Gant_Normal.png): For two years he’s been snooping around the department trying to get something on me! Crimes are being committed everyday, yet he insisted on hounding me!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): Well, your crime wasn’t exactly petty.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611166/Gant_Distracted.png): He wanted to reinvestigate the case. He recruited Angel Starr,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611167/Gant_Cheerful.png): then convinced Bruce Goodman…  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Detective Goodman?  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611167/Gant_Cheerful.png): Yeah,  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611166/Gant_Distracted.png): that’s right.

![](http://lpix.org/2749992/PWimage29.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2679069/Jake_Sad.png): Please, you’ve got to help me!

![](http://lpix.org/2749995/PWimage30.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2611167/Gant_Cheerful.png): Still, Jake Marshall didn’t know when to quit.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2387548/Edgeworth_Pointing.png): He stole Goodman’s ID card and tried to take the evidence!  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611166/Gant_Distracted.png): Goodman came to me  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2611167/Gant_Cheerful.png): that day.

![](http://lpix.org/2749997/PWimage31.png)

![](https://lpix.org/2611166/Gant_Distracted.png): I went with him to the evidence room.  
 ![](https://lpix.org/2615360/Gant_Laugh.png): Then all of a sudden he had to speak out!

Next time: Confession.
