Number One

[alphashifu]

Try-outs for the position of my assistant will be taking place soon, hopefully within a week. When I have an exact date, I'll post it up in its own entry. That's not what this one is about

Been on an off the force for about ten years, pal. Does that count?

[alphashifu]

Against all of my better judgement, detective, yes. Yes it does.

[duck_gimshoe]

Do I, uh, get a free dinner even though I responded before you put that offer up?

[alphashifu]

Yes.

[wrightaway]

Aren't you friends with Edgeworth? Why don't you just ask him?

[alphashifu]

Edgeworth is the whole reason I'm doing this. He's the one who pointed out that I don't know enough about your courts to speak intelligently concerning their failings.

[wrightaway]

So...he caught you trash talking and called you out? That sounds like Edgeworth all right.

I've been a defense attorney, a prosecutor, and a criminal. Maybe I could be of some assistance.

[alphashifu]

...I think you could. Mr. Armando, yes?

[nosugar_nomilk]

That's right.

I'm at the prison, so I'm not going anywhere, if you want to drop by.

[alphashifu]

Then I will.

Since I've been locked up, I've gotten to know, like, a number of things I didn't know before. Maybe I could help?

Lemme see...cross-examining, I think it's called? That can work even better than evidence. It's kind of like interrogation except with more talking, I think. That's how the lawyer in my case tripped up my testimony, pfft. They don't give everyone who kills someone the death penalty either, and like, there's time limits on certain crimes. That means if you don't report it early enough, you may never be able to. Kind of a dumb part of the law if you ask me, though. The prisons here in the US are a lot nicer than a lot of other places, too. (Some of my neighbors even mock the system for it.) Um, and some evidence you can't present if you, like, didn't get it fairly. You know, with orders and stuff. (Oh wait, that's more of a cop thing, not a court thing. My bad!)

Oh yeah, numero uno thing to remember: don't underestimate an attorney! They can be twice as nosy as prosecutors and even sneakier.

[alphashifu]

Wow.

Okay. I'll keep that in mind, then.

I've worked as a police officer, and as a security guard for the prosecutor's office before, sir! If that would help you out any!

[magpie_byrdey]

And, well... I'm not at all a criminal, but I've been through the trial process a couple times now... All on seriously false charges, t-though!

[alphashifu]

I think it could help quite a bit, Ms.... Byrde?

If you're willing to talk for a while, that is.

[magpie_byrdey]

Happy to be of service, sir!

Just send me a PM when you have the time, and I'll see if I'm not working then!
