Erm uh yeah I’m gonna rant about Ace Attorney because KO WON’T ANSWER ME (they’re prolly asleep but yeah)
Okay so basically it all starts when this dude named Phoenix gets on trial because he’s being framed for murder and this lawyer lady named Mia is defending him. After a while we find out the Phoenix’s crazy girlfriend named Dahlia was the one who murdered the dude and has murdered others. Dahlia has also tried to kill Phoenix by giving him a poisoned necklace but Mia couldn’t present it in court because Phoenix ATE THE NECKLACE. AND SURVIVED. Anyways Mia gets Dahlia the death sentence and Phoenix gets freed. Mia talks with Phoenix and Phoenix says that he wants to become a lawyer. He want to become a lawyer because of this guy that he met in 4th grade for a couple months became a prosecutor, and now Phoenix wants to meet him again.
Fast forward a couple years, this is the first case of the first game, and Phoenix is now a lawyer taught by Mia and now Phoenix is starting his first case. He has to defend his best friend Larry Butz who shows up a lot in the series. Larry’s being framed for murder (this comes up a lot in the series) of his girlfriend Cindy Stone. Blah blah blah we find out that Cindy was hit with a statue of The Thinker, the statue is actually a clock, and she was killed by this dude named Frank Sawhit who framed Larry. Frank Sawhit got arrested and Larry goes free yay. And that’s the first case.
