This is all very touching but that account contains a contradiction!

Murder has a specific legal definition and that is definitely annoying but that's sort of an expert's peeve because that requires specialised knowledge of how criminal statutes work. Blah blah blah mens rea, deadly intent, etc.

Though, it would be an interesting question on a crim law final. A person throws a deadly implement at another person, intending to "make him stop." The gun discharges, killing a third person. What crime, if any, has been committed? Explain.

I give you the (tragically fictional) case of Ronald Opus.

It really does seem like this would have been a simple thing to fix in localization, but perhaps the American localization team started running with the gag by the time this case was chronologically released? I feel like it was approximately dated earlier in the thread, but just by eyeballing the differences in tech and narrative, I'd guess it's at least two games ahead of the rest of AA1. The original was, what, GBA? Or the square one? This case is definitely more rooted in 3DS dual-screens.

The original PW:AA was released 2001 for the GBA, with sequels in 2002 and 2004. They were then ported to the DS 2006-7ish, which was when Rise from the Ashes was written; PW:AA and Rise from the Ashes would've been localised around that time.

This case being written after the rest of the trilogy was a great excuse to work in a ton of call-forwards. Of course, pointing any of them out now would be spoilers, but hey, good to know I guess.

This is an odd question, but is it better to play this case between games 1 & 2 or games 3 & 4? I understand if this question should be held off till after game 3, but I fear I'll forget by then.

Both.

Another Un-LP-able game falls and I'm pretty okay with that.
