Samovar posted:I'm very sure Karma just blowing past the number of gunshots recorded and number of bullets fired won't be of any import in this case! There's no evidence the gun was fully loaded at the time of the murder. It could've been fired once a week ago for all we know (except of course this is a game so we know it's relevant).

The gun went off at the time of the murder according to multiple witnesses and the corpse of the victim. Therefore, it was loaded with at least one bullet per the evidence. We only see one bullet in the victim. It is not immediately relevant whether any other bullets were fired by or loaded in the gun. Let us move on please.

Also we only have one photograph. Please do not ask us for any others citing having seen that the camera burns and entire freaking roll of film at once. I have played the game and earnestly don't remember if this point ever comes up.

Part 88: Episode 4, Day 2, Trial: Contempt of Court Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato  If we browse through the testimony one more time without finding anything, we get a different kind of post-cross pep talk than usual.  Sorry, Nick. If only my sister were here... (Maya's really taking this hard.) We'll just have to press on everything and hope something pops out.  It was Christmas Eve, just after midnight, I reckon.  "Just after midnight," you say? Hardly the conclusive contradiction we need to find.  Huh? Uh, yeah, well, yes.  Mmmph. I still think there's something screwy with the timing going on here, but whatever.  Witness, continue your testimony. I was in my car. Why were you camping there, anyway? I was taking pictures to use in my research.Are you paying attention to when her lying face appears?  I could wait and do it later I suppose, but let's just keep pressing.  Ms. Hart.   Obviously something, since you don't want us to ask her about it.  The answer is "nothing"! I object to this line of questioning! Objection sustained! Sound: Whack  Well, then say it already! Objection sustained. Sound: Whoops quote:If we back off: I heard this "bang" come up from the lake. So, you weren't looking at the lake at that time? Nope. What do you want now, Karma? She's said that already! Not leisurely chat with the witness! (Urk...) When I looked out the window, I saw two gents in a boat. Sound: Desk Slam Could you clearly see the two men? Just look at the picture! Clear enough for you? Forget the picture, I want to know what you claim to have seen. Wait a second! I wasn't asking you about the photo!Sound: Desk Slam   Uh, yeah, well, of course... You'd best look elsewhere for your precious contradictions! quote:Backing off: Then there was another "bang"... Well, yeah, sure... He just won't let us get anything going. I think he's objected every single time we've spoken up so far.  Sound: Fwa-Shing 2  "Contradictions," Mr. Wright. Not meaningless babble! (von Karma, I think I hate you.) (To what end...?) There wasn't nary a thing on the lake but that boat.Sound: Desk Slam Are you sure about that? Yeah, sure as a country gal can be! We better find something on this one... How come you're so sure? ("Scanned the whole lake"?) Sound: Realization She was looking for Gourdy! It'll be seven more crosses until we can bring up that point. Ms. Hart... you-- Mr. Wright! Mmph! No one is interested in why she was scanning the whole lake I guess...  U-uh, that's what I'm... Sustained!Sound: Whack Y-yes, of course. (Oh great...)quote:Once again, we could back off:  Sound: Gavel Once we've "pressed further" all three times (in any order), we're cut short. Enough!Music: Silence I think we've heard all we need to hear, Mr. Wright. I am half-convinced at this point that Edgeworth is going to be found guilty and the rest of the episode is digging into the DL-6 Incident to get him a re-trial or something. B-but, Your Honor!Sound: Fwa-Shing 2 You keep your promise!Music: Suspense Mr. Wright. So, we've got five outbursts left before we're really in trouble, right?  Sound: Realization That sounds like more than just a regular penalty.  We're tossed out on our butts any time we hit too many penalties and get our client declared guilty, so not much new there. I thought we were supposed to be held in contempt once our cross didn't find anything, anyway?  Understood...? Uh... uh huh. Nick...! I... know what you mean. But... If I can't say anything, what can I do?Sound: Gavel  Then, pass your judgment! Very well. Is he going to testify? Or is he just going up there to get pronounced guilty? Music: Silence  Sound: Objection No voice with that interjection...  Sound: Shock 2 x 4 Wh-who was that!? Sound: Objection Music: Telling the Truth  (Maya!)Somehow after all this time I have to make a new Maya sprite. I actually thought this was Mia taking over early at first. Let's see where this goes.   No, I do not!Sound: Whack Lotta Hart! Your testimony stinks! It's highly doubtful that you actually saw Mr. Edgeworth! Tell us the truth!Sound: Damage 2   Sound: Stab 2 Lotta!Sound: Whack  Did you see him fire that pistol!?Sound: Gavel You will stand down! Answer me, Lotta!Sound: Whack  Sound: Super Shock  I saw him! I swear it! I saw Edgeworth...Sound: Whack Now that statement is finally something specific! Way to go, Maya! (Pretty sure you just got us arrested though...) Enough! Judge... Y-yes... yes, of course. I'm sorry, but you WERE warned. Maybe we'll switch to playing Edgeworth now, as he's defending himself. Just reverse his sprites like he's standing on the other side of the courtroom. He is in contempt of court, and must leave. (No...) (No...!)Music: Silence  Sound: Objection  Maya's going to fall on our sword just to get us one more shot. Anyone see this coming after the conversation during the short recess last update? Nick is innocent! Hah! What's the difference? Karma knows his witness screwed up, and is willing to let us go just to shut this trial down.  More wordplay! I can't stomach agreeing with Karma, though. Sound: Desk Slam Wrong! What!?Sound: Realization quote:We get a longer and funnier scene with the other choice, with some more help from Maya... Did you hear what Ms. Hart just said? Sound: Desk Slam Music: Objection!  That was not in the testimony!Sound: Drama Pound  Finally, Phoenix stands up for himself in this kangaroo court.  Sound: Gallery  Sound: Gavel x 3 Order! Order! Order! Order! Order! Order! Sound: Whack Judge! Sustain my objection! ...Music: Silence ... Sound: Realization Yes! The judge is tired of being pushed around, too! Music: Objection! What!?Sound: Light Bulb  The defense does have a right to cross-examine her again. No, I am!Sound: Whack  Hmm... Very well. Maya Fey! Looks like we're going to be without our sidekick the rest of the way.  Nick! I did what I could... M-Maya...!Music: Silence Sound: Gavel  Listen well, Mr. Wright! (I'm running out of time...) Mr. Wright! Begin your cross-examination! Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato  Straight to the cross, and we have just one line. If we do nothing (try to skip to the next line, for example): (That's it...?) (But I can't squander Maya's efforts, either.) We do have an updated evidence description. This bullet now mentions that it was fired from the pistol that we have. Anyway, we have just one line of testimony, and one chance to save this case. What do we do?

Guys, guys, Dracula is in the past of the timeline/the future of the series in The Great Ace Attorney 1 and 2 (the ones in Victorian London starring Nick's grandpa). Von Karma is clearly a student though, so checking for vampiric regeneration might be a good idea.

Part 89: Episode 4, Day 2, Trial: Stargazing  This photo sure doesn't seem "clear as day". Music: Silence Got you. Sound: Realization quote:You may have noticed that I didn't press on that line of testimony. There's a good reason; in fact Karma explicitly warned us against "badgering" in this case. You see... quote:Now that we've had the opportunity to take a penalty, here is the scene for getting five penalties and losing the case:   Look at this photograph. The photo I took...? The very same. The fog, Ms. Hart. So... so? Yet even it could not capture the faces of the men on the boat!Sound: Desk Slam Yet you claim you saw Mr. Edgeworth!Music: Objection!  Sound: Objection Sound: Stab  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel Mr. Wright has a point!Great, can we have Maya back now? Oh screw you lich-dragon!  That's, uh...what? Yet, now she has said it, Mr. von Karma. Ms. Hart. What! O-of course! I said I could and I meant I could! (I did it!)Music: Silence  Don't get too excited, this isn't even a hole, just Lotta getting over-excited.  Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato  So, once I was finished setting up my camera, I got back in the car. Still, I brought my binoculars with me. See? No problem!Oh, come on, that doesn't even make any sense! Music: Silence Hmm... You used binoculars? (This one'd better be good!) Music: Questioning - Moderato  (I'm going to find a hole in this testimony if it's the last thing I do!I guess we'll just have to hope pressing reveals something more solid, and hope there are no more von Karma penalty-traps this time. The binoculars piercing through the fog doesn't make any sense, but the game won't let me object with just "Duh!" Yer right. It was a cold night, and the mist was thick as grits. So? How could you see Edgeworth!? Now, just hold your horses for a second! Sound: Realization Defense attorneys have trouble with that as it is.Sound: Realization (Nobody loves me...) So, once I was finished setting up my camera, I got back in the car. Your "camera"...? Yeah. It's got an automatic... The camera has nothing to do with this at all!The fact that you're objecting tells me otherwise, but I suppose we'll get there eventually. Objection sustained. Still, I brought my binoculars with me. "Binoculars"? Yeah, binoculars. Well... yeah.Sound: Desk Slam Wouldn't you need a telescope, not binoculars, for that? ...!Sound: Stab I've got doubts about your camera, too! The camera is irrelevant to this case! You can't say that for certain! Hmm... Mr. Wright. Is the camera really relevant to this case? But know this! Well, Mr. Wright? Well that seems like an obvious means of progression, but we have one more line to press on first. Okay, Your Honor... I withdraw my question. (I have to remember who I'm dealing with!) (I think I'll hang back for now and see what happens.) Hah!Karma seems happy that we backed off there. Don't worry, we'll be back. When I heard that noise out on the lake, I looked with my binoculars. What do you mean? Even binoculars can't see through fog! Er... I did... yeah.Sound: Realization Sound: Fwa-Shing 2 Enough! (Hmm. She sounded pretty doubtful to me!) (But... I have to find a clear contradiction first.)Nothing really stands out there, so let's go back to pressing hard on the camera.  Luckily pressing multiple times typically just repeats the same dialogue, bringing us back to this prompt. (This is make-it-or-break-it time!)Sound: Desk Slam The camera is of utmost importance, Your Honor. It is, perhaps, the key to this entire case! Sound: Objection (Wow! Maybe I went a little overboard there...)Sound: Gavel Very well! So do we get an updated line here, or a whole new testimony? We're still hearing the testimony music. Yeah, yeah, I hear ya. Well. That makes our decision rather obvious. Still, I'll press first. Ms. Hart. What made you choose that lake to photograph meteors? Yeah, well... Y'see, I... Objection! You're making my witness look bad! Mr. Wright! Oh, never mind, you're making her look worse yourself. Now wait a minute!Sound: Light Bulb  Grr... No unnecessary comments, please.I can't even pretend this one is worth stopping to ask for input.  This is not a camera setup for taking pictures of a meteor shower. Music: Silence  Music: Objection! S-says who!?Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Desk Slam I saw the camera you set up yesterday. It was pointed directly at the lake! Sound: Objection You know, I got so hung up on the camera being set up to take pictures after a loud noise, I completely missed this aspect of its setup. Guess I kind of got lucky there. Ooof!Sound: Stab  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel Mr. Wright! What are you driving at?Sound: Whack  ...! I have a pretty good idea, but this way seems more fun.  Well... that I don't know.Sound: Realization Music: Silence  Yeah, this contradiction doesn't seem all that relevant to her saying she saw Edgeworth. We're just trying to hang on a little longer. This has nothing to do with the case! That sounds like a challenge. Sound: Fwa-Shing 2 Mr. Wright... Music: Objection! (Uh oh... I can't let the trial end like this!) (I have to show them something!)quote:If we had picked "Show evidence" above, we would have just skipped the previous scene and moved right into the next one.  Looks like we have a penalty coming up. There seem to have been more penalties outside of the usual messed-up cross this time around already. We're in the endgame now.  I'm not sure why this line is attributed to Phoenix, but the judge's lips didn't twitch here.  There's really only one thing of interest at the lake.  Sound: Desk Slam Ms. Hart. quote:Let's show him our badge! What's this? A newspaper article? Sound: Realization Ah, the sighting at Gourd Lake... Well, Ms. Hart? Sound: Whack  "Proof" might be a bit strong of a word for what we have. Well, I don't have proof...Sound: Realization  Sound: Whack I've had enough of baseless claims made without a hair of evidence to support them!Hey it's finally our turn to object to something. Sound: Desk Slam  Sound: Objection Mr. Wright! Are you sure about this?Sound: Whack  (Or... did he taunt me so I'd get mad and make a mistake?)Sound: Whoops quote:Going straight to saying we have proof is just a tad quicker:  Another penalty coming up if we're wrong here... What is proof that the witness was trying to photograph Gourdy, the lake monster? This choice isn't too difficult, either, but I've handled the last couple myself, so it's time for you all to weigh in. What's the proof?

Say yes or no for me, repeatedly, and drive the defense to distraction. So then, you understand? Grogu- Yes. Yes. Yes. Karma- Then you will come to work for me in such capacity? Grogu- No. No. No. Karma- [makes strange gesture] You will work for me. Grogu- No. No. No. Karma- What? Mind tricks don't work on you? Grogu- No. No. No. Karma- Then maybe this will.

Part 90: Episode 4, Day 2, Trial: Gourdy  This automated camera set up is clearly looking for Gourdy.  ...!Sound: Stab Your camera was set to take photos in response to loud noises, correct? You know, why is there only a photo of one of the gunshots? Or did they just both look the same? ... According to this article... Sound: Realization Sound: Desk Slam Well? You were trying to photograph Gourdy, weren't you! Sound: Objection quote:Not many picked up on it, but there are actually two solutions to this riddle! The article itself can also be used as proof, tying the loud noise from the article to the camera setup in the opposite order: quote:All other options are incorrect and incur a penalty:  Sound: Gallery Sound: Gavel Order! Order! I see... (Yeah, sure!)Sound: Whoops Well, Ms. Hart?Sound: Desk Slam  ... Yeah.Sound: Realization Music: Silence  So, smart boy, I was down there trying to photograph Gourdy, you got me. So what? Huh...?Sound: Light Bulb Sound: Realization Both sound effects play at once there. It's kind of weird, actually. Music: Suspense  I think I've figured out where this is going. We're going to establish that the camera was automatic, so she wasn't actually awake watching the lake, and thus didn't see anything at all? Or maybe the first gunshot really did wake her up so she could see the second one? Exactly! What you just used several precious minutes of our time to prove... H-hey!Sound: Super Shock  It changes nothing! (Not true!) (But what could it have been...?) (Whatever it is, I'm getting to the bottom of this!) Ms. Hart. Please revise your testimony. ...Music: Silence  Sound: Realization (Something will change... It has to!) (And I'm going to spot it!) ... Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Allegro We've hit Allegro! Time to finish off Ms. Hart!  Actually, I'm not a research student at a university. I'm an investigative photographer. That's why I was camping out by the lake. But, that's all I was hiding. Sound: Weak Gunshot There wasn't much else to look at, so I just watched that boat the whole time. Sound: Weak Gunshot I was looking right at that boat, the whole time, cross my heart and hope to fry.Not seeing a lot there, we'll just have to press hard and see what shakes out. Music: Silence Hmm... Well, Mr. Wright. You may cross-examine the witness. The witness's testimony is unchanged from before! Sound: Fwa-Shing 2 Music: Suspense  It might just be me, but Karma's coming off a little desperate here. Objecting to all of our presses is one thing, but trying to keep us from crossing at all? Get outta here. Er... hmm.Sound: Desk Slam  (von Karma's up to something, I know it!) There has to be something. All of Karma's objections have been trying to keep us from getting to this point. Very well. You may begin the cross-examination. Hah! That would be a first! (Hah hah, very funny.)Sound: Realization  I kind of figured that when we heard Allegro earlier, yes. If there is no problem with the testimony this time, we will let the witness leave. I will announce my verdict at that time, Mr. Wright. Understood? Yes, Your Honor.Music: Silence  Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Allegro  (I won't be able to beat von Karma any other way...) (There has to be something!) Actually, I'm not a research student at a university.Sound: Desk Slam Then what manner of person are you!? One down with nothing interesting, seven more lines to go... I'm an investigative photographer. An "investigative photographer"? Yep.  N' guess what!Sound: Whack Umm... what? Sound: Objection A "yoofoh"...?Sound: Realization You know, an "Unidentified Flying Object"? A yoofoh!Ugh, a UFO. I can't say I've ever tried to pronounce that acronym as a word before.  I knew I should become an investigative photographer! I... I see. (Kind of a shaky basis for a career...) Imagine what a scoop it'd be if I got a picture of that monster! Is "Gourdy" really all that newsworthy? Heck yeah! They even had him up on the TV!Sound: Whack  (Last month's segment was "Bigfoot Sighted on Acorn Hill," I believe.)I bet Lotta was camped out at Acorn Hill after that one, too.  Sound: Damage 2 Sound: Whack Mr. Wright. Let's keep moving, shall we? Yes, Your Honor.Yeah, not making any headway there. We need to make some progress... somewhere. That's why I was camping out by the lake. Yep. Borrowed it from a university professor. It snaps a shot. Yep. So, how many pictures has it taken so far? (Hmm...)Well, there goes my theory about there being multiple incidents. I'm working on a new theory - the first "bang" was Gourdy rising from the lake, and the second "bang" was Gourdy shooting the victim. And Lotta (and the camera) didn't see Gourdy because it was behind Edgeworth, making it look like Edgeworth had fired instead? But, that's all I was hiding. I think it's time you told us why you felt you had to hide your true purpose at the lake. Competitors...? Sound: Objection Ah... Is that the only reason you were hiding the truth? W-well, actually... (Whatever you say, von Karma. I know you told her to keep quiet.)If that's the worst Karma can throw at us, we're in the clear. When I heard the "bang" I looked right straight out at that lake. Exactly what sort of sound was it? I have no idea why Gourdy rising from the lake would sound like a gunshot. But I don't have any better ideas yet. It was a lot sharper a sound than I would have expected. (Hmm...) There wasn't much else to look at, so I just watched that boat the whole time. There wasn't "much else to look at"? Yep. I kind of doubt she'd waste any time looking at a boat.)Sound: Realization  (Definitely suspicious... Maybe it's time for some evidence...) Witness! Continue. Hold your hushpuppies, pops, I'm getting there.I guess we've found the line with the contradiction. Nothing is really coming to mind, though. Then I saw a flash, near one of the men's hands, and I heard another gunshot. Was there nothing on the lake but the boat at that time? Hoping more than thinking at this point. I don't think so, nope. That you could see, anyway. I'd kind of forgotten about this other witness. Maybe that person shot the victim from the boathouse (which wasn't visible from Lotta's campsite), and then planted the gun in the boat? But how did it get Edgeworth's prints on it... (Hmm...) Well, I'm pretty sure we present something here, but I didn't have a clear idea as to what to present at first. Here's our current evidence list:  Attorney's Badge - No one would believe I was a defense attorney if I didn't carry this. Lotta's Camera - Set to automatically take a picture when a loud noise is detected. Faces the lake. Robert's Autopsy Report - Time of death: sometime on the 24th or 25th. Cause: one bullet shot to the heart. Lake Photo - Taken automatically on 12/25 at 12:15 AM. Misty Fey's Photo - An old photograph. "DL-6 Incident - Exhibit A" is written on the back. Gourdy Article - Article about a monster sighted at Gourd Lake. Overhead Map - Overhead map of Gourd Lake. Pistol Bullet - Found in the victim's body. The ballistic markings match the murder weapon's barrel. Pistol - The murder weapon. .22-caliber. Fired 3 times. Bears prints from Edgeworth's right hand.Reviewing the list didn't help me much, but writing up this update helped me figure something out. What do you think?

First thought- the gun’s notes say it was fired three times. So that’s established now? And Lotta says she spent a lot of time staring at the shooter. Maybe she can help us learn where those other two bullets that weren’t in the victim ended up. Or maybe that’s a red herring. Maybe it doesn’t actually matter. So much going on in this case. It’s hard to keep up.

She said there wasn't a lot to look at so she just stared at the lake, but the camera has taken a photo, surely she would be looking at that if there wasn't anything on the lake.
