You know, if Edgeworth thinks everybody's guilty of something, I don't see how exposing his supposed mentor's supposed guilt is really going to break him of that.

This is why you accuse everyone else of the things you do yourself. Then anybody who believes you just winds up more cynical.

I, uh...

Japanifornia wants to speed up trials, but they don't accept guilty pleas? Or have they not technically pled guilty, they just want it to be proven in court for whatever reason?

It feels like they're trying way too hard to establish some new marketable characters here. Officer Beanpole there, for example, feels a lot more... overdesigned than Gumshoe, if that makes sense.

So does the court appoint an attorney if you can't get one of your own, in Japanifornia? Or do you just throw yourself on the mercy of the court and forfeit any chance to confront your accusers?

Maybe Edgeworth also kind of thinks this is a frame job? I mean, didn't they like deliberately leave him out of all of the conversations about the crime and then toss him this case? Maybe they figured she'd just plead guilty?

I'd like it if you got like thirty/twenty/15 real minutes to page through a whole bunch of documents and tap on the important parts, but we're probably just going to throw that entire brick of documents around at once as evidence.

Yeah, after all the buildup they did by implying he was one nasty bastard, the actual revelation rings kind of hollow.

And somehow he went from "I just want to confess" to "whoops lol never mind, oh hey here's another vic--".

I mean... it's possible Marshall had been stabbed previously, and he was chasing Darke on adrenaline and just collapsed without being seriously wounded. Doesn't explain why they did what they did, unless maybe the previous stab came somewhere nobody could see.
