Question!

If one was attempting to prove that the name written in the sand next to a murder victim was not, indeed, written by the victim, would one:

A) through long conversation and on-the-fly production of evidence one did not previously have show that the victim was left-handed (when the name was supposedly written with the right hand) and the name was spelled wrong (after the victim had intimately known the person whose name was written for over six months)

OR

B) simply cite the autopsy report - after all, someone who has fallen from a nine-foot-high wall and died on impact from a broken neck will probably not be doing any writing after landing.

In other news, Phoenix Wright is definitely one of the more...interesting...games I've ever played. Considering I'm a Disgaea fan, this is saying something.

Wasn't there some weird permutation of evidence that made it possible for him to have written it ANYWAY? I seem to remember there being something like that in that case. Oh lordy. :P

Game 2, case 1? I don't think so...we got in the cell phone debacle right after we proved the guy couldn't have written the name.

...this is some game. ;;;

I ought to replay it to see if my memory's right on that one! I think I remember trying to present the autopsy report too, though, and everyone going "THAT IS NOT PERTINENT EVIDENCE PENALTIES FOR YOU."

I adore PW games. I don't care if they make sense or not. They just...transcend logic somehow.

There should be a disclaimer, like.... "The less you actually know about law and CSI, the better you will be at this game." :|

Well, I've heard that it's a parody/comedy of the Japanese legal system, which most sources agree that more western cultures would see as horribly and unfairly biased towards the prosecution...even though the American version is set in um I think San Fran, that element is still there! So that's where some of the over the top stuff comes from, I think.

Also, it is just silly. |D
