I used the forum's search and I also looked for some kind of "Post Any Question About Ace Attorney Here"-Thread but I couldn't find anything like that, so I decided to open this topic.

Anyways, as we all now, in 3-5 the bloody writing which reads "Maya" on the stone lantern is written upside down. I just want to now why. If I recall correctly, Dahlia wrote it with her/Misty's blood after being stabbed in the stomach and stabbing Godot in the face with the dagger.
So we had an unconcious Maya, a hurt Godot and a Dahlia with a sword in her stomach at the crime scene.
Why the hell did Dahlia write Maya's name upside-down then? It doesn't make any sense at all, if you consider that she was just before fainting herself! She could've just written it normally to frame Maya, couldn't she?

Or is there a simple reason which I overlooked that explains everything? Please don't tell me Gumshoe was right with his theory about how the lantern was upside-down at the night of the crime. XD

Therein lies your answer, I believe. She was barely conscious, and summoned her last bit of energy to scrawl out Maya's name. Also, try sitting down, back to a wall. Is it easier writing your name right-side up... or up-side down?

As far as I remember, Dahlia wasn't with her back to the lantern. It was Maya.
If you are confused about this picture:



, forget it, that is not what happened. That is just what Iris aka. Dahlia in Maya's body claims to have seen, and that was just a giant lie.

Also, I think it's easier to write a name the correct way, especially for someone who is about fainting.

But..Maya was Dahlia...'Ight?

I think it goes with something like the bottle thing in AJ's first case.
...You know....Go stand next to a wall and try to write a word Maya on the wall with a finger.
You automaticly write it upside down, if you don't put that much attention to that.
And since she was screwed, I think that she didn't have musch time to pay attention.

Well, I think you would write a name the easiest way.
But you may be right, I never was stabbed in my stomach, so I don't know which way is easier in such a situation. So yeah, I think I'm kinda satisfied with that answer.
