District Court 
Defendant Lobby No. 2 

Edgeworth: I’m sorry, Wright, Wright’s Clone. I’ve just wasted all of your efforts. 

Gumshoe: … Mr. Edgeworth… I just don’t believe it, sir! I mean you… killed your dad? 

Edgeworth: I didn’t want to believe it myself, Detective! But… it’s the truth. I deserve to be punished. Murder is murder, no matter what the circumstances. 

Gumshoe: This is crazy! Just crazy! 

Maya: … …? Nick? Fake Nick? What are you doing? 

Phoenix: Huh? Oh… We were just reading through the Court Record once more. We’re getting our case ready. 

Maya: Your case… for what? 

Ryan: Huh? Isn’t it obvious? We’re going to prove that Miles Edgeworth is innocent. 

Gumshoe: …! Wh-what are you talking about, pals! He just admitted to it! He confessed that he did it! In court! 

Phoenix: I’m sorry, Edgeworth. But I don’t believe your “nightmare.” 

Ryan: Me neither. 

Edgeworth: Wh-what!? 

Phoenix: It’s just a dream. It’s not real. The truth is right here in this Court Record. In any case, tighten your belts. The real fight is just beginning. We’ll prove you’re innocent. Trust us. 

Edgeworth: W-Wright… Wright’s Clone…

December 28, 2:30 PM
District Court 
Courtroom No. 3

Judge: Now then, I would like to resume our trial. 

Karma: Judge! Miles Edgeworth has admitted his own guilt. He has confessed his crime. Let us begin by hearing his testimony. Then, though pointless, let the defense do their cross-examining. The statute of limitations on the DL-6 Incident runs out today. Though it’s unconventional for me, I’d like to run this one by the book.  

Judge: I see. Does the defense have any objections? 

Phoenix: No, Your Honor. ‘von Karma… you knew this was going to happen from the very beginning, didn’t you!?’ 

Judge: Very well. Will Miles Edgeworth take the stand? 

He said as Edgeworth walked behind the witness stand as he was still shaken up by everything that was happening. 

Karma: Will the witness state his name and profession. 

Edgeworth: Miles Edgeworth… I am a prosecuting attorney. 

Karma: Mr. Edgeworth. Fifteen years ago, you mistakenly killed your father, Gregory Edgeworth. Is this correct? 

Edgeworth: … It is correct. 

Karma: Then testify about this matter to the court. 

Phoenix: ‘When Edgeworth was telling us about his dream yesterday, I noticed something… One detail didn’t quite fit. That will be the key… but only if I can get it to work!’ 

Maya: Please… Please… 

Witness Testimony
-The DL-6 Incident- 

Edgeworth: That day, I had gone to the courtroom to observe one of my father’s trials. As we went to leave, an earthquake struck, trapping us in the elevator. My father and Mr. Yogi lost their composure, and began to argue. Just then, something heavy fell at my feet. I picked it up, and threw it at Mr. Yogi. I wanted them to stop fighting. A moment later, there was a single gunshot, then a scream. It was a terrible scream. I remember it to this day. That’s all.
