Given that Nick is actually trying to be a defense lawyer in this hosed up judicial system, I don't think he's sane either.

He's moderately less insane than the system, at least?

During, actually. Between Cases 2 and 3, more specifically.

Wasn't Misty used by Hammond, aka the Defense Attorney, though?

So in trying to use a psychic to clear the guy's name, said (supposed) ghost goes "nah, he did it bro".

No, it's mentioned that the police hired her back in case 2.

As for why? They presumably didn't have any airtight proof that Yogi did it. Somehow. Despite him and Miles being the only other two people in the elevator, and they're obviously not going to consider that a little kid killed his own father.

That reminds me of one of the minor things that's always irked me about the backstory of these games.

I mean, I get that they claimed there were "a bunch of legal reforms" to clear up the court dockets faster (read: hope the transition from Japanese to American court isn't as obvious), but.. This case flies right in the face of that concept, if they're still holding a full-fledged trial for a person who outright and completely confessed to the crime.

I believe Phoenix said that you can see the entire lot from the security room. Because the security room is on the second floor, you could probably see over the partition from there to the crime scene -- after all, the partition isn't the height of the room.

More to the point, the phone GUARD BOOTH is on the same side of the partition as the phone is.

On the other hand, how would a body swap even be possible? Angel mentioned that she subdued Lana until other authorities arrived, and even with the five minute gap between spotting the stabbing and apprehending her, so there wouldn't have been any time to swap bodies (and somehow hide the second one in a way that the police still haven't found).

Yeah, I can't imagine having to deal with him while playing because everything about him is completely insufferable.

It's even worse in-game, since one of his animations has a megaphone feedback sound. He is by far and away the worst character of the original trilogy (or at least in solid contention with some of the other fan unfavorites).

I mean, the only thing I can think of was that they thought Meekins killed "Goodman" right after the bit of security tape we saw ended.

...Without being seen on-camera again after that. And then somehow managed to hide the body without using any of the lockers or having to use his card to open the door again.

Oh absolutely agreed. The perspective of the video makes you think Meekins put it right in front of the camera, not on the opposite side of the room.

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

It really doesn't help that much of Day 2 feels like filler where you're just building up to being able to prove that Marshall was the "second victim".
