if you read the topic's name you know what my question is. is godot really guilty?
because godot killed misty but she want to die to save maya. and godot killed misty so he could stop dahlia. so he killed somebody to save someone else. and than person he killed know than she maybe could die. so is godot really guilty?

Well, murder in self defense is still murder.

I'm fairly sure he was one of the few murderers who did NOT get the death sentence, though.

He wasn't trying to save Maya. It was his own selfish needs of trying to fill the empty hole left after Mia died and he felt useless after his overblown image of himself as a knight in shining armour to his kitten was blown away.

Plus, there's no such thing as a selfless act. And I only think the worst murderers got the death sentence...

I don't know about that last part; it's pretty implied throughout the series that Phoenix fights for his clients' lives.

Also, this topic should be marked for spoilers.

He's as guilty as Vasquez, he had a good reason to do it but that doesn't make his crime disappear.

Oh, and @ Perrydotto: I'm glad someone agrees. ^^;

I agree with Capybara, Godot even admitted it that he wasn't doing it for Maya, he did it for himself. Though he had good reason to do it, and I feel real bad for him, murder is murder and well he's gulity of it. I'm also pretty sure he didn't get the death sentence. But I'm also confused at the end of T&T when there's the picture of Godot, Mia, and Elise. Elise and Mia are dead, so why is Godot there? xD Unless he's dead... But anyways yeah he's gulity...

I've actually heard a theory about this on TV Tropes.

Spoiler: The theory
Coffee is what saved Godot from being poisoned, and is what's required to keep him alive.

The poison that was given to him - while experimental and cooked up by a pharmacology student - could have had its potency reduced by the chemicals in the coffee it was slipped into, thus preventing it from being lethal. As for why Godot has to drink it so often, now, is pretty obvious: the poison messed with his central nervous system, and the caffeine in coffee is a powerful stimulant. He probably needs the caffeine to keep his nervous system active, and prefers to take it in the form of his own coffee blends.
* Good idea. It would help explain how he is able to drink so much coffee without dying.
* That explains WHY he died; He was a whole day without coffee in 3-5, right? The next day, he starts to randomly bleed. And then he dies. Now that was spoilerrific.

Thank God for copypasta.

wow yes it was spoilerific xD that actually does make a lot of sense but it's a little out there don't ya think? (especially for the PW world, well sorta xD) :yuusaku: if he is dead, (which I'm not saying he is but the possiblity is there) wouldn't the death sentence make more sense?? I'm not sure :meekins:

He's guilty of conspiracy, reckless endangerment, obstruction of justice, and being a jerk, but not murder. Justifiable homicide, yes, or, if you really stretch, manslaughter/excessive use of force. This doesn't change the fact that he's responsible.

Here's a nastier question: how much of the guilt does Iris share? Even worse, how much of the guilt does Misty herself share? I mean, what the hell, Misty Fey?

OOC!GODOT. Instead of warning Pearl that she's in danger, and keeping all the Feys away from her until we've sorted out this problem, I think we need to follow your sister's plan and set up a direct confrontation with the spirit of Dahlia Hawthorne.

OOC!MISTY. Coo'. I'm totally okay with playing along with your hero complex, even if it kills my daughter.

GODOT. Thanks. Say, why didn't you exchange letters with Mia or Maya after you went into exile?

MISTY. Stamps are expensive.

GODOT. Man, we are such great jerks. I don't think we could possibly be bigger jerks if we tried.

MISTY. Hey, I've got a photo of my kids in a locket! That means I care.

GODOT. That's true. It's not like a person who carries a photo of their kid in a locket would be a jerk.

I agree with you too!! Murder is a crime and should be punished as such, although he wouldn't of got the death penalty.
IIRC, when Godot "killed" Dahlia out of his rage, didn't he say something like he knew in the back of his mind he could be stabbing Pearl. I could be wrong...

When I saw the topic title, I thought it was the lack of decisive evidence that was going to be brought into question. After all, the only things Phoenix managed to prove were that Godot was at the crime scene, that he battled with Dahlia, and that he covered up the crime to lead them away from Maya. After all, while his prints weren't on the murder weapon, Elise's were. To quote the Judge from 4-3...

The decisive evidence was the wound hiding under Godot's visor. If his blood matched the blood on the small dagger it would prove that Dahlia got a hit on her attacker, and her attacker was Godot.

You must remember that Godot said that he was the first to find the murder weapon. He also said something along the lines of "I could of just removed the blood and replaced it with cow's blood." The blood may not even match if he did that. (Although I highly doubt he actually did do that. He probably just said that to psyche out Phoenix.)

The blood doesn't even matter. Misty's killer was cut during the struggle with Dahlia, and out of the three survivors on the Inner Temple side of the bridge after it burned away, Godot was the only one wounded.

Process of elimination.

Process of elimination my ass! It's perfectly possible for Godot to hve dropped the sword, for Maya to have picked it up and stabbed Dahlia. Furthermore, there is no evidence stating that Pearl wasn't at the crime scene either!

In Ace Attorney World, witness testimony carries just as much weight as physical evidence unless it's proven to contradict the facts.

Wrong. Godot clearly mentioned the blood on the dagger when he submitted it.

A: Dahlia lied. She said she witnessed it as Maya cornering Elise at first, then she said she cornered her, and fell unconcious before killing her.
B: Maya would have every reason to lie. IF my theory is true (Which it most likely isn't, I just presented it to show that the evidence isn't as decisive as everyone thinks).

Yes, that's exactly why they didn't question Morgan's testimony in 2-2 after she was accused. They still believed it which is why she was arrested.

Dahlia lied at first because she was trying to frame Maya by pretending she was Iris and a witness to the murder. The problem was she didn't remember how she 'died', so she had to make something up. Once she was exposed, she didn't have any reason to lie; she thought Maya was dead and assumed she couldn't be punished for her role in it.

Phoenix couldn't prove Morgan's testimony was a load of crap at that point. Once he broke Mimi, it was obvious Morgan was lying.

This... actually enforces my point. Dahlia didn't remember anything past being struck by Godot. So it's still possible for Maya to have done what I suggested.

I don't believe that Godot is guilty of murder, and I believe it was the right thing to do, considering his choices (either kill a Dahlia-possessed Elise or let her kill Maya). Also, I am sure that he has a strong case for a justified self-defense plea (which includes defense of others).

Godot wouldn't be guilty of murder, but it wouldn't be self-defense, per se. If an interaction were to occur between Dahlia and Maya, he would protect Maya. That was planned from the get-go. So, it would be necessity rather than self-defense. He didn't exactly admit that he did the act for his own interest. He said he was unsure.

He may not be guilty of "murder," but he was the one who killed Elise. >_>

darn it, didn't notice the post dates

Godot said he was unsure when he confessed, but in his actual trial he could very very very easily not mention that and have a great self-defense case :P

As the game points out, it's still murder. Accidental, intended, self-defense, all of it is still murder.

Well, the game labels it as murder, but the punishments are way different. Like in 2-2, if Phoenix had used the justified self-defense plea, Maya would've been convicted of murder, but wouldn't have had to do any jailtime or anything. (At least, that's the way they seemed to describe it to me.) And I think we're kinda-sorta referring to real-world terms, too :yuusaku:

And it's kinda OOC for Godot to confess anyway! He should be all "Prove it, Trite."


At this point, doesn't Godot just want to get everything out in the open somehow? To have it be finished? He's probably realized that Phoenix is at a point where all he has is a theory. Not confessing would probably mean that the trial would continue, and possibly lead to Maya being guilty. That's not exactly looking out for Mia's sister. He's done what he feels he needed to do, and I don't think he would want to have no consequences for that.

And murder is still murder. You can start calling it other names, but he's still killed someone.

Even though what he did was for the good of Maya, there are many way to stop her. If you thnk about it couldn't he have grabbed Dahlia to stop her? Then
Maybe nobody would have died (then there wouldn't be a case but still). Not even dahlia knew that she was in misty's body so she probably wouldn't hurt it. Also Godot did not really need to stab her since she was techniquelly already dead. Godot was wrong to waste someone's life who is innocent to protect Maya, since there were many other ways.
