I should mention that illegally acquiring evidence, regardless of whether it proves your case or not, is likely enough to get it barred from the court record. So if Phoenix did steal the wiretap, he has committed a crime and made the evidence illegal too. Even if he didn't steal it, entering April May's hotel room without her permission could be described as an act of trespass. In my home country of New Zealand, there is judicial discretion for permitting evidence despite it being improperly obtained, but I don't know if US or Japanese courts would have similar laws.

Tree Reformat posted:I like how no one is bothered by Maya just recording her call. Must have one-party consent laws, because otherwise without Mia explicitly consenting to that recording that's a crime presented and effectively admitted to the court right there. Two party consent is actually pretty uncommon outside of a handful of US states, AFAIK. The only country that I can find outside the US that does that is Germany.

achtungnight posted:I have to wonder why Edgeworth is obscuring the existence of the other guest in Ms. May’s room, though. My guess is he takes an "Occam's Razor" approach and assumes that it's unlikely a random guest would be involved in the crime just because they were possibly staying in the same room as the witness. It would be very easy for that person to claim they weren't present at the time, and Edgeworth wouldn't press any harder. He knows that the defense will seize on any small possibility that someone else is involved in the crime (evidenced by the fact that the mere existence of this other person gave Phoenix another trial day) and would rather prevent him from "wasting time" or "obscuring the truth" by keeping him unaware. That way, Phoenix can only question the actual witness, who presents a seemingly ironclad testimony. That, or bring in the Bellboy who has been instructed not to disclose the existence of the other guest.

We rag on Redd White, but it's still a better name than Hot Coldman.

I think you've done that thing with the poll again, cause I can't vote.

It's wacky because they already had Mia step in with a Deus Ex Machina style piece of evidence, only to have her save the day with yet another. For what possible purpose?

They were all orphans from the same orphanage, and Maya's mother was their caretaker.

I don't know if this is a matter of Japanese law or not, but apparently the Ace Attorney world doesn't believe in the defense being able to call witnesses.

Blueberry Pancakes posted:Oh, I just remembered. Someone was playing Ace Attorney 3, and I shared with them the beta designs for Phoenix, Edgeworth, Maya, Grossberg, and Mia. Wait, so that ghoulish bloke is meant to be Edgeworth? Yeesh. I feel like they recycled that design for Von Karma.

Considering the amount of parallels between this case and Turnabout Sisters, it could be a deliberate reference.
