Label that correctly this instant! It's case 3
I had forgotten about this but yes that was quite awesome.
I'm glad he did that because Athena's therapy sessions do seem a little ridiculous and it was funny to see a character just straight up say "sure, go for it but I'm not waiting around for you to finish."
Haha yeah, he's the sort of guy who has little patience for crazy stuff, he just rolls his own way or threatens witnesses to get what he wants. Why block when you can strike with a well-honed blade?
And I find it funny that people are complaining about Blackquill prosecuting when a major theme of the game is "The Dark Age of Law" and it's explicitely hinted at by Fulbright in Case 3 or 4 that the order came
directly from top of the prosecutor's office
As long as he keeps picking on Apollo, then he's ok in my book (now he just needs to come up with better jokes)
Yeah, that was case 4, stopped maybe 20 minutes after that part last night. Him mentioning that makes me confident that the game will address exactly why he is allowed into the courtroom other than "well he is a great prosecutor and we have to counter this Wright Douchbag Agency" No one actually said that but you know that's what the Prosecutor's Office is thinking

Haha, the Wright Dbag agency is on the case!
And yeah, to the guy above, Fulbright has a bit of an answer to what's up.

Fulbright alluded to that as early as Case 2, actually.

Hey you right. I blame my mobile!
Case 3 - Trial 2:
What do you present to Prof. Means on his first testimony?
Yes it does T&T spoiler
Dahlia is the clear example of this
Yeah Blackquill refers to deathrow inmates in this game too. You forgot the most important character that got a death sentence in T&T though

Okay, I'm an idiot. I'm into the 3rd case and I JUST realized that pressing the B button makes the text speed up.
No wonder I'm taking forever to get through this... >>;

They go to jail for a while before the penalty is administered.
For instance, in AA3 the death penalty wasn't applied to
Dahlia Hawthorne

I'm not touching that one, people still argue whether he was sentenced to death or not and short of someone actually saying something direct in one of the games, I don't think we can prove it one way or the other.
On that note though, I think it would be fun to unlock a little dossier after each case that details the trial of of who you found to be the guilty party. Obviously it wouldn't need to be super detailed but it would be interesting to find if the person was guilty of manslaughter or first degree or whatever and then what their sentence was.
Edit: In regards to said person:
Missed opportunity not to have Blackquill bring up a buddy in the clink who was also a prosecutor and loved himself some coffee or some other nod to that
I don't know. After playing the game I felt like it was the only option there was. Would somehow feel wrong if it didn't actually end that way. But you're right that it's not something we can prove!

Don't forget AA3 also had
someone on death row as a defendant.
I can't say I understand all the rules in Japanifornia but
I just can't see how he would have gotten the death penalty, no matter how Godot himself feels, that was self-defense. Sure, it would be more tragic (and aligned with the story of his character) if he was put to death but I just don't see how that would be the case
Ah.......I always miss the obvious.
Lol I don't think this game has any laws at all. I mean just playing this game right after the introduction of Athena Cykes
she should have been brought in for multiple charges starting from the assault of police officer. Nobody seemed to care though.
I call self-defense on that one too.
Scummy officer trying to touch a young lady! Tsk tsk. Plus just imagine that getting brought up to Fulbright, he would have blamed the officer anyway
She could smack me at a 42.5 degree angle all night long.
If an exorcism ever happened in our court where you saw the ghost actually leave the individual and start screaming, I'm sure we'd start taking some supernatural evidence too.
I don't think it's very logical at all. But that's what makes it fun.
Just in case 2
everyone is conveniently ignoring L'Belle the first day of the trial even if he was a key witness. Apollo Justice just goes "okay" when the same character destroys a vital piece of evidence in front of his eyes.
But I don't mind really. It's part of the charm.
Yes, but I think after AAI2 we can positively conclude that it is not universally applied. I think it really depends on the culprit and the severity of the murder. I don't think, for instance, that
Damon Gant or Kristoph Gavin would've gotten the death penalty, not because they weren't thoroughly evil, but because they had the connections to defend themselves. Then again, Manfred von Karma did, too, and the games sort of imply that he definitely did.
I like to pretend that Damon Gant defended himself at his own trial and just stared at the judge the entire time ".................................." he probably only got 6 months probation at most
I am pretty happy how they treated Phoenix in this game, the demo seemed to make him a dunce again.
But they actually did make him badass in game proper and spoilers for end game
. I'm really pleased.

he did beat down Edgeworth just like good old times, and does hint at a return at Maya
At the very beginning of the third case, and I'm really loving the relationship/dynamic between Phoenix, Apollo, and Athena. I thought I'd be bummed to see Phoenix not getting the full spotlight, but it's not happening at all.
I'm really enjoying Apollo in particular, more than I did in his own game.

that (first?) case 3 twist

My body was not ready either. I didn't do enough masculinity training.

I'm glad it happened though
Boy Robin was incredibly annoying when he was looking constipated all the time. Girl Robin has some much less annoying animations.

The best part of that Case 3 reveal is realizing that
what looked to be huge, bushy eyebrows were just very conveniently positioned bangs.
You have the worst character from the game as your avatar, I'm sure the 3rd case will be fine
hey
her theme was good
and i liked her ;________;

He also said it was boring, guess Filch can only withstand so many superkicks and spot monkey moves that are more improbable than the antics of an AA courtroom.

Phew finished Case 3. Took me like 4-5 hours.
The text speed is pretty slow, isn't it?

So. I have a question about Juniper. Case 3 spoilers.
Was she just on a school vacation during case 1? Or did she just transfer schools? Is this ever addressed? Or was it said in case 1 and I missed it?
Hahaha, I can just see it. Especially if Winston or Gaspen was the prosecutor for the case. Also with that mad hax power to
Object and interrupt the gameplay segment of cross examination. Honestly, evil as he was, it's really hard to not like Damon Gant. He's a cruel, manipulative scum bag, but on the other hand he's also a pretty jolly guy.
All of this makes me miss Lana and Ema more
Rise from the Ashes really is my favorite case in the series, followed closely by Bridge to the Turnabout.
