Courtroom No. 1

The Judge slammed his gavel down., "Court is now in session for te second day of the trial of Detective Richard Gumshoe." The Judge announced.
"The defense is ready Your Honor." The Phoenix announced placing one hand on his desk and the other on his hip.
The Prosecution is ready Your Honor." Edgeworth announced with a bow.
"Prosecutor Edgeworth." The Judge said, "Who is the young woman next to you?" He asked.
Edgeworth was about to answer but Kay interrupted, "My name is Kay Faraday, I am The Yatagarasu." She announced proudly.
"The Yatagawhat!?" The Judge shouted confused.
"Yatagarasu, it means The Great Thief Your Honor. But you need not worry she is only here to even the playing field by acting as my legal aid today." He outstretched his arm and pointed at Maya, "Similarly to Miss Fey, every trial that Phoenix Wright works." Edgeworth explained.
"Let's stop dilly dallying and get to the testimonies." Phoenix stated authoritatively slamming both hands on his desk.
"Wow." The Judge stated shocked, "Your really in a rush today Mister Wright. Do you have a date after this?" The Judge asked.
"I concur with Mister Wright we have a lot of witnesses to get through today." Edgeworth announced.
"Very well." The Jude announced and turned to Edgeworth.
"Prosecutor Edgeworth, please summon the first witness." The Judge ordered.
"The Prosecution calls, Police Officer John Blake to the stand. " Edgeworth announced. An early 20s man walked to the podium, "State your name and profession." Edgeworth ordered.
The young man saluted, "Yes sir, man name is Johnathan Blake I'm a proud defender of the law as a part of the Los Angels Police Department." The Officer introduced himself.
"You were on duty the day of the crime correct?" Edgeworth asked.
"Yes sir, but I was mostly on my beat." The young Officer said.
"HOLDIT!" Phoenix shouted.
"Sir?" Officer Blake asked confused.
"How long were you on your beat?" Phoenix asked.
"From 6 o'clock am to 3:30pm sir." Officer Blake answered.
Edgeworth slammed his hand forcefully on his desk, "YOUR HONOR!" Edgeworth shouted before taking a deep breath, "I apologize for calling a witness who is more useless than the defendant, if he wasn't the one on trial." He said through gritted teeth, then it was like a lightbulb light up inside his head, "Your Honor the Prosecution would like to change its first witness!" Edgeworth announced, "The Prosecution would like to change it to"He outstretched his arm and pointed to the defendant's chair, 'the defendant, Detective Richard Gumshoe. " Edgeworth announced.
"Hmm. Mister Wright." The Judge said.
"Yes your Honor?" Phoenix asked.
"Do you have any objections to your client taking the witness stand?" The Judge asked.
Phoenix turned to Gumshoe, "Detective, do you want to take the stand?" He whispered.
"Well... anything I say might incriminate myself pal." He said out loud.
"But we proved yesterday that your gun was stolen." Nick replied.
"I don't want to take the stand. " Gumshoe replied firmly crossing his arms.
Phoenix nodded and turned around, "The defense is exercising the right to not have the defendant testify at this time."
Phoenix announced. The people in the gallery murmured in disapproval.
Edgeworth sighed, "Very well, good thing the Prosecution has a back up." Edgeworth announced.
(Of course Edgeworth dose, because he's Edgeworth)
"The Prosecution calls, Lieutenant Jonathan Good to the stand." Edgeworth announced. Lieutenant Good approached the stand, "Your name and occupation." Edgeworth demanded.
"Lieutenant Johnathan Good, and I work for the Los Angels Police Department sir." Lieutenant Good replied.
"Do you know anything about the case?" Edgeworth queried, "I don't want a repeat of the previous witness." Edgeworth said sternly.
"Sir yes sir, and I am willing to testify." Lieutenant Good announced.
"Lieutenant please testify." The Judge ordered.
"Yes Your Honor sir." Lieutenant Good said saluting.
