And I'm caught up. I love this series so much I can't belive I overlooked an LP for so long.

I love seeing all the twists and turns of the cases play out (again), it's been to long since I last played the series.

Defense attorney: "I want to call a witness who can prove my client is not guilty."
Judge: "What does the prosecution think?"
Prosecutor: "We'll allow it."

Phoenix is lucky Edgeworth is (relatively) reasonable, had it been someone like Von Karma the answer would 100% have been "Nope, no dice" resulting in an instant guilty verdict. (Despite having played through this game series before, I'm still amazed whenever I see just how much the system is stacked against the defense.)

In this particular case that would mean... what? The police discovered so little evidence against a serial killer that they murdered one of their own and framed the killer for it?

Maybe that they were 100% sure the dude had killed a cop but couldn't prove it, so they fabricated evidence to do so. I honestly don't remember, I didn't much like this case so I only played through it once.

You got a busted img tag here.

Also I said it a few post back, but after reading this update I realized that I remember absolutely nothing about this case, except for the final solution. It'll be fun to see how it develops.

Oh my loving god I actually forgot Gant's got a loving pipe organ in his office :allears:

Also goddamn, Darke was a psycopath :stare: "Whoops, I accidentally killed this guy with my car, my bad. But that dude over there saw me! Gotta kill him too! Whoops! That lady saw me! No witnesses, gotta kill her too! And that kid! And that jogger!"

: You are aware of course that a police chief has all kinds of weapons at his disposal?

: Sure. Take my testimony, for example.
: I don't have to give it if I don't want to.

: Is that true?
: I'm afraid so...
: The Chief of Police has the right to refuse to testify.

Thanks for this LP! It was cool seeing this game again, I should replay it sometime.

(I had completely forgotten about everything in the final case, except for Gant being the culprit and the motivation. It's amazing.)

You probably can if the one person is an experienced professional obliged to follow ethical and legal guidelines in their work as opposed to twelve randos who are there for one case.

In Italy the judge (or judges) decide on their own, but we're in a civil law system. Meaning they have to follow the letter of the law, not the spirit, and there is no such thing as precedent, each ruling is made autonomously. Plus they have to provide an explanation in wiring for their ruling, i.e. which laws they applied and why.
