Turnabout Memories
...*hufff*...*huff*...
Argh!
How did I get in this mess?
Why...? Why did I do that...?
That girl...
You shouldn't see her anymore.
Hey!
Its none of your business!
I'm telling you for your sake.
If you continue to see her,
it's going to be bad news.
You're lying!
Just listen to me.
There's something you need
to know about that girl... ...
Stop it!
D-Don't talk about her like
that!
It-It wasn't me!
I-I d-didn't...
I didn't do it!

Mia Fey
2nd Trial
April 11, 9:40 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3
Mia
(Whew, it's finally time...
I'm kind of nervous...)
???
*Ah-HHHEM!*
Mia
Oh! Mr. Grossberg!
Good morning!
Grossberg
Ah, Mia.
Please calm yourself down!
Grossberg
You're going to get yourself
arrested for suspicious
behavior, you know.
Mia
What are you talking about!!
I am relaxed, Mr. Grossberg!!
Look at me, I'm relaxed!!
Grossberg
*Grrmmphh*
L-Let go of my lapels!
Grossberg
Hmph... You obviously
haven't got the temperament
to be a lawyer.
Mia
I, err... I'm so sorry!
It's just that I'm so
nervous today...
Grossberg
Oh, that's right.
This is your first time in the
big leagues, isn't it?
Grossberg
Well never fear my dear.
I, Marvin Grossberg, am
at your service!
Mia
Umm, actually this is my
second time in court...
Grossberg
Still, you surprised me...
What, with your earnest
request last night...
Grossberg
"Let me handle this case!"
you suddenly said. And quite
forcefully, too!
Mia
I just found out yesterday.
About the case, I mean.
Grossberg
What?
And you've already learned all
the relevant facts?
Mia
Well about that... You see...
I mean, of course I have!
I think.
Grossberg
Oh dear...
Grossberg
In any case, you don't let our
client see you're so nervous.
Grossberg
There, you see that poor
young man over there?
That's our client.
Nick
*cough* *sniffle*
Good morning there everybody!
Mia
Good morning...
(try to keep smiling, Mia)
Phoenix
I, err, I just want to say...
I'll give it all I've got!
Phoenix
Yup, it'll be fine!
No prob!
*cough* *achoo* *achoo*
Mia
Oh, what's wrong?
Do you have a cold or
something... Mr. Wry?
Phoenix
Actually, it's Wright... Like
the flying brothers... People
screw it up all the time.
Phoenix
And yes I have a cold.
That's what this mask is for.
Phoenix
My doc says this way, I won't
give it to anyone else...
Be kind to others, he says...
Mia
Right, Mr Wright!
You have nothing to fear
in court today!
Mia
If you are truly innocent...
I promise I will save you!
Nick
Nnnnggghh... P-Please
l-let go of my shirt...
*gough*
Mia
(That's right, he's the one
on trial, not you! He's the
one who should be nervous!)
Mia
(You need to stay stong for
your client, Mia!)
Mia
My name is Mia Fey.
I'm still pretty new at this
lawyer thing...
Mia
The first time I appeared in
court was a year ago.
Mia
But that trial traumatized me
so badly, I thought I'd never
set foot in another courtroom.
Mia
It's been one year since then
and well, here I am again.
Mia
But this time...
This time I'll win.
Mia
For my client...
And for myself.
April 11, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 2
Judge
Court is now in session for
the trial of Phoenix Wright.
Mia
The defense is
ready, Your Honor!
Payne
The prosecution is
ready, Your Honor.
Judge
The defense today is...
Ms... Ms... Mia Fey, was it?
Mia
Y-Yes, Your Honor.
Is there a problem?
Judge
I was under the impression
that Marvin Grossberg was
to be leading the defense.
Mia
Yes! Well, you see...
Mia
Mr. Grossberg had...
A-A bit of an emergency...
Judge
Emergency?
But isn't that him standing
there right next to you?
Mia
Yes, well...
Judge
You... You're just a rookie.
Are you sure you can really
handle this?
Mia
(Don't let him scare you, Mia!
Give him your toughest look!)
Mia
Of course, Your Honor!
...
I think.
Judge
Hmm...
Judge
Well, Mr. Payne.
Your opening statement,
please.
Payne
Well, well, well...
Payne
I can't believe a veteran like
me has to spend his time baby-
sitting a new defense lawyer.
Mia
...!
Payne
Don't worry little girl.
It will all be over soon.
Mia - B
(What was that all about?
Was he trying to trash-talk
me?)
Payne
Now then, I'd like to proceed
with a summary of the events
of the day in question.
Payne
The incident occurred on
the campus of Ivy University.
Payne
The murder victim was a
student named Doug Swallow.
He was a fourth year student
studying Pharmacology.
Judge
Hmm... It sounds like he was
a very bright young man.
Payne
Yes, well, next we have a
photo taken at the scene of
the crime.
Payne
Students discovered the scene
shortly after the murder. They
found the victim's bode...
Payne
...and the defendant , who had
obviously bungled his gateway.
They then called the police.
Judge
Hmm... That certainly makes
the defendant look very
suspicious indeed.
Judge
Very well.
The court accepts this photo
into the record as evidence.
Crime Photo 1 added to
the Court Record.
Judge
By the way...
Judge
I can't quite tell the cause
of death from this photo.
Payne
Hee, hee, hee...
Payne
Your reputation for sagacity
is well-earned, Your Honor.
Payne
The truth is that this victim
died a rather unusual death.
Mia
An unusual death...!?
Judge
What do you mean, Mr. Payne!?
Payne
Well...
Perhaps the defense would
like to take this question.
Mia
Huh...!?
Payne
A simple question. I thought
I might loosen you up a bit.
Payne
I am a genteel-man, if you
will.
Mia
Um, a what?
Mia
(Stand up to him, Mia!
Show him what you're made of!)
Grossberg
Ah, a perfect opportunity!
Well, what was it? The cause!
Go on!
Grossberg
...
Grossberg
...Please say you know at
least this much.
Mia
I-I'm so sorry...
I-I didn't get a chance to
read through the whole file.
Grossberg
*groan*
My haemorrhoids are beginning
to act up...
Grossberg
Now see here!
Grossberg
The details of the case are
filed under the Court Record.
Grossberg
But you knew that already
didn't you?
Mia
(AH! The Court Record! I think
I can see that by touching the
Court Record Button...)
Grossberg
All of the weapons we need can
be found in the The Court Record.
Grossberg
Take a good, hard look at the
data there and think carefully
before you answer, m'dear!
Mia
Y-Yes, sir!
I'll do just that!
Mia
(I've got to stay calm!
I can't let that prosecutor
get the better of me!)
Mia
(The Court Record... OK, let's
take a look! I just touch the
Court Record Button here...)
Judge
Now then, would the attorney
for the defense please answer
the question?
Judge
What was the cause of death?
Select your answer
- Asphyxiation
- Electrocution
- Hypothermia
[choose Asphyxiation]
Mia
Well... I think you'll find
it was a case of asphyxiation.
Judge
Hmm...
Asphyxiation, huh?
Grossberg
M-Mia!
What are you saying?
Mia
Well it's stuffy in here!
I can hardly breathe.
Grossberg
No one's asking how you feel!
Please, make sure to properly
read the Court Record!
Mia
I-I'm so sorry!
I'll take a better look!
Mia
(Hang in there, Mia! Open
the Court Record with the
Court Record Button...)
Judge
Hmm... I'll ask you once again.
