Well I just thought, wouldn't it just have been easier for Mia to summon up the souls of Doug Swallow and Valerie Hawthorne and had them tell someone who killed them? Well I'm not so sure it would work with Valerie considering she was stabbed in the back, but I would have thought it could work with Doug. The only possible explination I can think of is that she ~~wanted a fair trial~~ remembered what happened to her mother, thus was afraid they might be wrong about who they say. Your thoughts?

It would probably be considered a sham at that time. Though in the current AJ Timeline, the Judge might allow it.

Probably that, and besides, the killer's identity was obvious in these cases anyway.
I mean, summoning Valerie wouldn't make her know anything more. Also, Valerie is a @%*!§ so she may even be uncooperative, try to kill the one whois there when she's being summoned, etc.
Summoning Doug would be a bit helpful, but those things were also easy to figure out, and come on, it was only the first day of the trial. Maybe after a day break, she might have considered it.

Also, she hasn't used her spiritual powers for god knows how long. She probably wasn't even able to do a channeling without prior practice.

But I always wanted a case where you NEED to channel the victim. That would even be a great opportunity for a cameo Maya in AJ2.

It states in Mia's character interview in the fanbook that she gave up spirit channeling when she left Kurain. Considering she was twelve at the time of DL-6, she probably got the impression of channeling + lawyering = BAD. Furthermore, as Dramatica pointed out, the chance of anyone believing her would be next to nil.

It's also possible that her channeling skills suck since she left and has not practiced since. Consider Maya, who at a younger age than Mia, and actively practicing spirit channeling, couldn't do much in the first game.

Okay okay I get it, stupid idea. It was just a thought.

It was an interesting thought, though. I'm pretty sure it would have been a nice idea, had it not been for what happened to Misty.

So don't feel bad, we all offer up things that people shut us down for.

I remember Maya saying something about Mia being an awesome spirit channeler or something, so I'm not so sure about that ;)

KHF, it's not a stupid idea. As Dramatica said, it probaby would've been considered a sham. The only time spirit channeling was used in a case was DL-6, when the police had no leads; they aren't going to use channeling in 3-1 or 3-4 where there's a plethora of evidence ready, and it took 17 years (around the end of T&T) for Kurain's rep to finally start to come back from DL-6.

And, when you consider it a sham, there's suddenly a conflict of interests. The defense attorney is the channeler; why not just pretend to channel, and say your client is innocent? Misty had nothing to lose or gain from saying Hammond was guilty or innocent (well, her rep from being wrong, but you know what I mean!); Mia has a case to lose or win.

Yeah, no one would believe it if Mia really did channel somone anyway due to DL-6. Probably Gumshoe would be the only one. :sadshoe:
