“Y-you can’t know that for sure!”
“Of course I can. A good lawyer always has evidence to back their statements, Phoenix Wright. One of the officers that showed up was able to take this photo of the crime scene.”
The photo showed Congressman Smith lying dead in the alley where he was found, covered with blood, which was also pooling around him. The gun was lying off to the left side, a little away from the blood, just out of reach, but the real focal point of the picture was Alfred, who was standing off to right, wearing a leather jacket that I hadn’t seen him in before, covered in blood.
“WHAT?!”
“And just to prove I’m not playing games, the prosecution also has the jacket in the picture to present as evidence.”
Photo of the Crime Scene Taken just after the police showed up. Press Check for more details. Oh wait, you can’t.
Alfred’s Jacket An old bomber jacket. Worn by Alfred on the day of the murder. Sleeves are covered with the victim’s blood. No GSR found.
“What do you think Maya?”
“Well, we know Alfred didn’t do it, so Gumshoe’s got to be wrong. Just do that thing you usually do and everything should turn out fine.”
(Thanks Maya…I think…)
In the heat of the moment, Jones pulled out his gun shot him in the chest.
“OBJECTION!” SLAM! “Detective Gumshoe, I assume you know what happens when a gun is fired, correct?”
“Of course I do. Someone usually gets shot pal.”
“Can you explain to the court what GSR is?”
“Well, it’s sorta…kinda like a…Yeow!”
“GSR, or gunshot residue, is principally composed of burnt and unburnt particles from the explosive primer, the propellant, as well as components from the bullet, the cartridge case and the firearm used. But what does that have to do with anything? Or are you just grasping at straws, Phoenix Wright?”
“When a gun is fired, the GSR ends up all over the shooters clothes, correct.” POINT! “Then why, if he really fired the gun, does Mr. Jones’s jacket not have any!”
“OBJECTION! I-it was raining that night! The GSR on the jacket must have just washed away.”
“OBJECTION! There’s still blood on the jacket! If the GSR was washed away by the rain…Then why wasn’t the blood?!”
Mutter mutter mutter.
BANG BANG.
“Order! This is a surprising turn of events. Detective, if Mr. Jones didn’t fire the gun, who did?”
“Um…”
“Alfred F. Jones was the only one in the alley other than the victim. He was the one that fired the gun. He must have taken his jacket off before the fight, shot the victim, then put the jacket back on.”
“OBJECTION! Then how did the blood do you explain the blood on the jacket?”
“Simple, he touched the body after the deed was done, most likely to check to see if he was actually dead. The blood was transferred to his sleeves then.”
(Franziska…does she really think the Judge is going to buy that?)
“Well I buy it.”
(Of course you do…)
“But I’m still not convinced enough to safely declare a verdict. Detective Gumshoe, would you mind testifying again?”
“Well, the thing is pal, I’ve already said my piece so…Yeow!”
“You’ve already served your usefulness! The prosecution has another witness lined up to erase any doubts the court might have.”
“By all means, Ms. Von Karma, call your next witness.”
(Here he comes…)
“The prosecution calls Arthur Kirkland to the stand.”
A/N: So like, whenever I play the games and I'm at the trial, things always make so much more sense in my head than they do in the game and I end up losing a lot of points that way, but I get it in the end. Anyway, the same thing happened here when I was writing, so if you just had a moment of "Um...wth was that?" that is because my head is a crazy crazy place.
And no picture for you. Sorry, but my artistic abilities don't extend that far. If a kind artistic!anon would like to try and draw it with my description, then go ahead, but I may have kept some details of it out for the sake of plot twists.
