I've always believed it's better to let a criminal get away than let an innocent person die.

^Guilty, cause I knew everything would end up right in the end (and also I thought the case would end if I said "Not Guilty") though if it was a real situation, I would probably say Not Guilty.

Just on a side-note - I can't remember who posted it and where, but someone pointed out that following the dialogue at that point you get...
: My client... Matt Engarde is...(Franziska comes in)
: Franziska von Karma!It's silly but now every time I go through that bit I can't help but laugh.

Only because I didn't fancy having Pearl with me all throughout the next game (which is what I thought would happen if MAya died
).

Afterwards, when Pearlmia talks to you, and flashes back to when you were about to say that, she then says 'Your decision that you made then shows what you really are, and what you think an attorney is all about.'
Now, I chose Not Guilty for lulz, so does that mean I'm a shit lawyer who does things for lulz?

Yes, Baris. Yes it does >.>
Personally, I tried for the GUILTY, but I didn't know how to do it, so I ended up with a NOT GUILTY and so I tried again ^_^;;

I was wavering between the two until I finally just said, "Eh, I don't like Maya much anyways and Enguarde's a bastard who needs to go die in a fire." and hit guilty.
Amen. I have nothing against Maya, though. Still, as I said, I hope Franziska reduced his skin to ribbons with that whip of hers. As things stood, had Adrian been indicted, she would have surely gotten the death sentence. Were it not for those last pieces of evidence, an innocent person would have died no matter what. Better to get the killer, too, than to let them go and commit crimes again. You've seen the kind of person Matt is; I have no doubt that had he gone free, he would have committed some horrible crime again in the future.
I'll always love you, Max.

If Franziska hadn't burst in, saying Guilty would've gone like this.
Phoenix: He's guilty!
Judge: ...Do you have any conclusive proof?
Engarde: Like, lawyer man, I dunno what you're trying to pull, but, like, if you're going to be like that, I can manage the rest of this without you. *opts for self-defense*
*Phoenix gets ejected from the courtroom*
*de Killer kills Maya for Phoenix breaking the rules*
*Adrian is convicted*
*Engarde does the evil laugh*
*The miracle never happen*

That's impossible! I saw them in the same room the other day! There's no way they could be the same person.
*pulls off Engarde mask* I told him this wouldn't work... Huh? Matt Engarde is dead. He stabbed his eyes out with a plastic fork in the detention center. Since we have no way of proving this to de Killer, someone has to show up as the defendant. 
If you're Franziska, then who is that wearing your clothes?

Actually, it's still possible to prove Engarde guilty.
Phoenix: Your Honor, there's still a problem here.
Judge: There is?
Phoenix: Yes. As we proved just a moment ago, de Killer's client did not know how to disassemble the puzzle. Therefore... the client COULD NOT have been Adrian Andrews!
Judge: Whaaaaat!? But... But that means...
Phoenix: That's right, Your Honor. My client, Matt Engarde... is guilty. This whole time, I was deceived by him.
Judge: But... the prosecution...
Phoenix: The defense rests, too, then.

So far, only one of my friends has completed that trial; I'd like to get some others, and see what their decision is (that is, if they've actually started to care for the game at that point)
I'm gone for so long, and the colors got all psychedelic! Woohoo!

I think it was because I thought that was what the game wanted. In real life, I almost certainly would have chosen not guilty, especially with Mia standing right there. Plus, there's a chance that Adrian's lawyer would have been able to get her declared not guilty, so... yeah.
I'm depressed that I chose "guilty," honestly... *is pathetic*

No, you're not. Thast's what Phoenix would do, because he believes in the power of the truth, and he trusted the miracle to come. And Mia would support him, and Maya, fighting for justice whilst cornered into a tiny manouevring space.
I chose "Guilty". Always have, always will. Purely for the fact that he wanted to kill Maya/

Partly because I just couldn't get myself to lie. I mean, and get Adrian convicted and everything...
But more probably because I knew it was what the game wanted me to do, and I knew that as long as I didn't make some huge game-ending mistake the Capcom writers would never kill Maya.

If this happened in real life, that would make me less worried about the situation, knowing that a criminal was brought to justice. But yeah, all this moral dilema was what made this case so fantastic. ^^'
Also, I couldn't imagine how Maya would feel if Matt was declared Not Guilty. o.o'

I chose guilty for the same reasons and, similarly, would have chosen not guilty in real life. That, after all, is the job of a defense attorney, whereas the game focuses on the job of lawyers being to bring out the truth.
Of course, I'd be helped in real life by the lack of capital punishment. I couldn't do that to Adrian. And that, in a nutshell, is why I keep my lawyerly exploits limited solely to Phoenix Wright. No one would ever hire me in real life in case I took the moral high ground on them.

Oh my goodness! Someone else who thinks sporks are made of awesome! Along with puppy sized elephants and Shakesperean insults?
To be more on-topic, it seems here to me that people are agreeing that the 'right' thing to do would be to put 'not guilty'. I disagree, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I think putting guilty is the right thing to do. But, you can make a case for it. In-game, you're standing there, as a lawyer, all personal problems aside. Your job is to find the truth. You know the truth, so concealing it would only be wrong.
Granted, concealing the truth would save the life of your best friend. But it reminds me of that old story in which a father sees his child playing on the train tracks. A train full of people comes roaring toward him. The father can switch the tracks, thus sending the train off a cliff and killing tons of people but saving his son, or he can watch his son die because he didn't do anything.
The circumstances are a little different though, because choosing not guilty doesn't ruin the lives of a lot of people, just one (Adrian Andrews). It also lets a criminal go free. So the case you can make for choosing not guilty is that the life of one you are close to and really care about is more important than someone you just recently met. To you, anyway.
What would I do in real life? Heck, I don't know. I'd probably just have a heart attack on the spot and die.
