![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): So, you turned on the radio?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376676/Larry_Nervous.png): Right!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376677/Larry_Sad.png): I just wanted to hear someone’s voice, y’know? You don’t know what it’s like out there, alone, on Christmas Eve! Alone!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): (I shouldn’t have said anything…)

![](http://lpix.org/2543101/PWimage3.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2387375/Hold_It.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/jshe)

![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): Do you by any chance remember the name of the program you were listening to?

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

![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): This has nothing to do with the case, Your Honor!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Objection sustained. The witness was listening to the radio. That is all we need to know.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Tell us, Mr. Butz, how loud was your radio set to that night?

![](http://lpix.org/2543102/PWimage4.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2387375/Hold_It.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/jshe)

![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): Real “booming” loud?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376676/Larry_Nervous.png): Yeah, y’know.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): And you had headphones on?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377067/Larry_Cocky.png): Yup.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): I wouldn’t think you could hear anything going on outside at all…

![](http://lpix.org/2543103/PWimage5.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2387375/Hold_It.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/jshe)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Can you prove that…?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): No… no, of course you can’t.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2542746/Larry_Thinking.png): Nah, I can’t prove it. But I remember that moment real clear.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376676/Larry_Nervous.png): I mean, while I was talking about it, it came back real clear to me, y’know?

![](http://lpix.org/2543104/PWimage6.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2387375/Hold_It.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/jshe)

![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): What did he say?

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

![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): Mr. Wright! Please cease these pointless questions!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510233/Manfred_Normal.png): What possible good could knowing what a radio DJ said do us!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Indeed, Mr. von Karma has a point.

![](http://lpix.org/2543105/PWimage7.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2543106/pwrong1.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): (Hm… right. I didn’t really have a deep reason for asking, now that I think about it.)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Understood, Your Honor. I withdraw my question.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Continue your examination of the witness, then.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): (This is getting nowhere…)

Which brings us to the loop.

![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): (This is the most ludicrous testimony I’ve ever heard. But there is one gleaming ray of hope in there!)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): (I’ve got to press it until we get to the bottom of what happened!)

But if we take the other option…

![](http://lpix.org/2543107/PWimage8.png)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): We should care, Your Honor! Of course we should!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): Why?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): Uh.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2390438/Phoenix_Embarrassed.png): W-well, how do you know if we don’t ask, hmm?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Fine, very well.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Mr. Butz, please testify to the court. What was the radio announcer saying when you heard the gunshot?

![](http://lpix.org/2543108/PWimage9.png)

[![](http://lpix.org/2387375/Hold_It.gif)](http://tindeck.com/listen/jshe)

![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): Are you sure?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377067/Larry_Cocky.png): Course I am!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376676/Larry_Nervous.png): She had this real sexy voice…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): (Hmm… maybe von Karma was right. I’m not sure how that helped us at all.)

And we go back to the loop. Have you spotted the problem?

![](http://lpix.org/2543110/PWimage10.png)

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

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Larry! Are you absolutely sure what you’re saying is correct!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377067/Larry_Cocky.png): Huh? What’s with the face? You look scary, dude.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376676/Larry_Nervous.png): Hey, if you’re trying to scare me, you better know I don’t scare that easy!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Is something the matter, Mr. Wright?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Your Honor!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): Did you hear what the witness just said?

![](http://lpix.org/2543111/PWimage11.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Indeed… And…?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): “Almost Christmas” means it wasn’t Christmas! Do you realize what this means?

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): When he heard the gunshot, it was still Christmas Eve!!!

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): That would seem to be the case, yes…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377212/Phoenix_Papers.png): But that contradicts the two testimonies we have heard so far, Your Honor! Both Ms. Hart and the old man said it was after midnight when they heard the shots!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): In other words… When they heard the gunshots, it was already Christmas!!!

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

![](http://lpix.org/2543112/PWimage12.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2542453/PWanimation1.gif)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Order! Order!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What does this mean? The two prior witnesses heard gunshots after midnight. However, this witness says he heard a gunshot before midnight…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): Judge. The answer is quite simple.

![](http://lpix.org/2510472/PWanimation8.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2510476/Manfred_Annoyed.png): The current witness is plainly mistaken. Just look at him! Suspicious!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377052/Larry_Angry.png): Wh-whaaat!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): Hmm…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well, Mr. Wright?

![](http://lpix.org/2543113/PWimage13.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2543114/pwrong2.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): Well…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): I guess, it had to have been Larry’s mistake.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510233/Manfred_Normal.png): Hah!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Very well.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377052/Larry_Angry.png): W-w-waaaaait!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377067/Larry_Cocky.png): I come up here, I give you a riveting testimony… And you laugh it off as some kinda mistake!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377052/Larry_Angry.png): What about me!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377067/Larry_Cocky.png): How can you call yourself a friend, Nick? How!?

![](http://lpix.org/2543115/PWimage14.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377045/Phoenix_Nervous.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well, Mr. Wright?

![](http://lpix.org/2543113/PWimage13.png)

This time, let’s not piss Larry off.

![](http://lpix.org/2543116/PWimage15.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Larry’s not mistaken, Your Honor!

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): He heard that gunshot before midnight!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2511563/Manfred_Smug.png): Intriguing. I’m assuming you have evidence for this wild claim?

![](http://lpix.org/2510472/PWanimation8.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2543117/PWimage16.png)

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

Have you spotted it?

![](http://lpix.org/2543118/PWimage17.png)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2543119/PWimage18.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377212/Phoenix_Papers.png): This was taken by our witness yesterday, Ms. Lotta Hart, with her automatic camera. The timestamp on the photo reads “December 24, 11:50 PM.”  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Oh yeah? Hmm? But, there’s nothing on the lake in this picture.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Your Honor. The real issue here is not why nothing is shown in this photograph.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): It is why this photograph exists at all!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): What do you mean?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Your Honor… This photograph was taken by an automatic camera.

![](http://lpix.org/2543587/PWimage19.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Ahah!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Correct! There was a loud noise on the lake at 11:50 PM.

![](http://lpix.org/2543588/PWimage20.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): In other words…

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): When Larry heard that gunshot, it was most definitely Christmas Eve!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Indeed, it would seem that is the case!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Then… where does that leave us? Ms. Hart testified that she heard the gunshots after midnight.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Are you claiming she was mistaken?

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

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Not at all, Your Honor.

![](http://lpix.org/2543589/PWimage21.png)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Your Honor!

![](http://lpix.org/2543590/PWimage22.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2542453/PWanimation1.gif)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Why would this be…?

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

![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): Don’t be fooled, Judge!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510233/Manfred_Normal.png): That camera was set to respond to “loud noises”!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Yes?

![](http://lpix.org/2510254/Pwanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2510233/Manfred_Normal.png): There is no proof that the “loud noise” at 11:50 was a gunshot!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510476/Manfred_Annoyed.png): Why, the witness could have sneezed, triggering the camera!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377052/Larry_Angry.png): H-hey, my nose was clear that night, man! Clear!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): Hmm…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): Well, Mr. Wright? There’s no turning back now. Can you prove that the “loud noise” at 11:50 PM was indeed a gunshot?

![](http://lpix.org/2543591/PWimage23.png)

But what is it?

![](http://lpix.org/2543592/PWimage24.png)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2543593/PWimage25.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): The… murder weapon?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): Something about this pistol was bothering me, Your Honor.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377212/Phoenix_Papers.png): Both of the witnesses who testified yesterday heard two gunshots. However, the murder weapon was fired three times.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): When, then, was the last shot fired?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Only now have I realized the truth.

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): That third shot was the shot Larry heard just before midnight!

![](http://lpix.org/2542453/PWanimation1.gif)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): Order! Order!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): Hmm…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): That would make sense of the evidence we’ve seen so far.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376733/Judge_Thinking.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): However… This leaves me wondering exactly what did happen that night on the lake.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): Exactly! If this is true, there were two sets of gunshots, separated by 25 minutes! One at 11:50, another at 15 minutes after midnight!

![](http://lpix.org/2510472/PWanimation8.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2510476/Manfred_Annoyed.png): Why, I ask you! Why!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): (Uh oh, I’d better think of something quick!)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): i[/i]

![](http://lpix.org/2543613/PWimage26.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2376749/Phoenix_Thinking.png): (Gunshots separated by 25 minutes…?)

![](http://lpix.org/2543614/PWimage27.png)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2420828/Maya_Mad.png): Wh-what’s wrong, Nick!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): I have it! I have it!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2419647/Maya_Thoughtful.png): Huh?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): Remember the case with the Steel Samurai!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2495666/Maya_Hopeful.png): Huh? Yeah, of course I remember…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): The murderer in this case had the same idea as the murderer in that case!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2419647/Maya_Thoughtful.png): What do you mean?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): Maya!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2420828/Maya_Mad.png): Yes!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): If we don’t figure this out now, we’ll never overturn Edgeworth’s guilty verdict! I’ve got a hunch, and I’m going to run with it…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2448975/Maya_Exasperated.png): Right! I mean… is this safe?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): Safe? We’ve already gotten a guilty verdict! We have nothing to lose!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2448975/Maya_Exasperated.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376669/Phoenix_FPV.png): You just watch and let me know if I say anything that sounds fishy, okay?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2420828/Maya_Mad.png): Right, Nick!

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Your Honor!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): Y-yes, Mr. Wright?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): The testimony just now has cleared up this entire case!

![](http://lpix.org/2542453/PWanimation1.gif)

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

![](http://lpix.org/2376734/Judge_Angry.png): What do you mean, Mr. Wright!?  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2511563/Manfred_Smug.png): Tsk tsk tsk… So, you’ve finally realized the truth? There can be no other murderer here than Miles Edgeworth himself.

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

![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Wrong, von Karma!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): A man was shot that night, but it wasn’t Edgeworth who did the shooting!

![](http://lpix.org/2510254/Pwanimation6.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): Listen, rookie. Take a deep breath, and consider the facts. At the time of the murder, one boat was on that lake.

![](http://lpix.org/2543615/PWimage28.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2543616/PWimage29.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2543617/PWanimation1.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2543619/PWanimation2.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): There was a gunshot fired on that boat, and Robert Hammond fell into the lake. The distance of the shooting was one meter. It couldn’t have been suicide! Well?

![](http://lpix.org/2510472/PWanimation8.gif)

![](http://lpix.org/2510476/Manfred_Annoyed.png): The guilty party has to be the other man on that boat!  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376736/Judge_Normal.png): I admit, it is hard to imagine any other possibility.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2376735/Phoenix_Normal.png): Yes…  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): But this assumes that the victim was shot at 15 minutes after midnight.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): … What do you mean by that, Mr. Wright?

![](http://lpix.org/2543620/PWimage30.png)

![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): The timestamp on the photo says 00:15.  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377279/Phoenix_Point.png): But Larry heard a gunshot 25 minutes before that!

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

![](http://lpix.org/2377200/Phoenix_Intense.png): Robert Hammond was killed then! 25 minutes before the shot on the lake! (That’s the only way that Edgeworth could be innocent!)  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2377042/Judge_Shock.png): …  
 ![](http://lpix.org/2510228/Manfred_Impatient.png): …

Next time: Trying to prove it.
