It might be a bit difficult to come up with a clever solution like that when you're panicking and such in a small enclosed space with your life in danger.

(A bullet hole probably isn't enough to get enough oxygen to bring enough into the elevator, but I guess they could take turns putting their mouth to the hole and breathing and you know.)

DL-6 could have been prevented by von Karma getting a life and realizing that getting a penalty isn't the end of the world. :matt:

I also agree, the most viable solution I have is that the bailiff had the idea that the bullet hold would do them no good, and combined with the lack of oxygen causing panicking and lack of clear thinking, well, you get a bad situation for everyone.

Also remember that the entire courthouse lost its lighting power. The people in that elevator were effectively blind so shooting would have done them no good. How would Yogi be able to shoot and know that he wouldn't hit Gregory or Miles?

Objection!

During the first several minutes, at least, one would have their wits about them, especially a trained bailiff. Having worked a good amount of time in the courthouse, surely Yanni would've known that the elevators had glass panels on the doors. Further, simply feeling around the stranded lift would've revealed the seam between the metal and glass of the door. Thus, if he had kept his wits about him, instead of panicking in the initial stages of the accident, he could've located and shot the glass windows open, allowing leeway for air to come in. Better yet, he could have shot the glass to weaken it and rammed or kicked it to break a large section open, thus allowing enough air to come in to sustain the 3 men. Especially considering the elevator had ground to a halt level with the floor.
*Cue Cornered*
From that position, cries for help could even be yelled!

You might say there's no evidence the elevator halted level with the floor, but considering the point of damage in the window matched the area where Manfred Von Karma was shot in height, it's impossible that it couldn't have.

And so, had Yanni Yogi remembered his training, to keep calm, he would've saved the life of Gregory Edgeworth, his career, and Miles Edgeworth would've lived a somewhat normal life. If he had, he'd be hailed as a hero, not tried as a criminal.

The keyword in your argument: "would"

But it makes no difference. The fact is, DL-6 happened. Pondering whether DL-6 was preventable or not is irrelevant and ultimatey a waste of time.

OBJECTION!

First, they may have had their wits about them in the beginning, but did they really think there was a reason to panic? I don't know about you, but the idea of an elevator stopping combined with the power going out would scare me, but I'd never think that such a thing would result in an oxygen problem. Even now, it seems unrealistic to me.

Second, with it being as dark as it was, there was no way for them to know where the elevator had stopped. Firing a gun with a wall on the other side could result in the bullet ricocheting and hitting someone in the elevator. There's also the possibility the bullet could hit something that would make their situation worse.

Third, even if they knew there was glass on the other side, you really think it would be smart to go firing a gun in the dark? Suppose it hit and injured or killed someone on the other side. The bullet would have had to hit something, and not knowing what it could be, firing would be extremely reckless.

For all we know that could have been all that helped them survive the little bit of oxygen.
Plus the bailiff probably didn't want to fire his weapon when he couldn't see who would be on the otherside of the window :yuusaku:
After all we've seen what firing blindly does.

What I'm baffled about is how seconds after the gunshot, the power returns and the doors open.
I mean....talk about fate working against Gregory no wonder Karma thought he was meant to kill him. :yuusaku:

I think Bad's talking about Acro wanting to kill Regina over the accident.

Those are two different situations however. Acro wanted revenge on someone who was pretty much dead. Gregory Miles and Yanni were trapped in an elevator and short of air, but no one was dead. At least not yet.

I'd say Acro had a pretty good motive.

And I was meaning about fate intervening to offer Karma the killing chance.

Herr Blondie said it was a big coincidence that the power came on as soon as the gun fired and they passed out. But 2-3 was even more of a giant coincidence, so meh.

Except you overlook something...

Elevators have an emergency acces hatch on the top! They can be opened from both sides in such cases as this. Being on a major fault zone, Yogi's training surely would've included protocol for such incidents as this. Bailiffs are fully-trained police officers, whose job includes rescue, or at least self-rescue, at times. In the state of California, they train their officers for all sorts of earthquake accident response. If he had kept his wits about him, Yogi would've been able to, even in the dark, open the access hatch. Also, he would have known that the biggest danger in an earthquake is asphyxiation due to being trapped beneath debris or stuck in an elevator.

Even without firing any rounds, he could have saved their lives. But he panicked.





And Mr. Bear, it's kinda pointless to make a claim like that in a thread about the discussion of such a thing. We know it happened, but we're discussing, retrospectively, how it could have been or could not have been prevented. My angle is it could have.

Well for your one involves Russell making concious choices to trigger some of the events.

I mean for Karma he's just walking through the building gets shot and then a door opens revealing the shooter. A weapon lies on the floor in front of him.

Considering the power came on the lights would come on as the door opened in front of him. The only thing needed to make it more fateful is if a heavenly "AHHHHH" played over the building tannoy at that time.

I think you answered your own points. DL-6 might have been prevented if Yanni didn't panic, but the fact that he panicked is the entire point. There is no such thing as a Yanni that doesn't panic in an power-deprived elevator. It's like saying "DL-6 could have been avoided if it never happened."

After all, his lawyer was able to argue some kind of insanity/diminished capacity defense, which means there might have been more incidents in Yanni's past that proved he buckled under pressure easily. Taking Yanni's character into account, with the circumstances as they were there was no way for him *not* to panic, therefore making DL-6 unavoidable (assuming you don't change the entire structure of the event).

Er... You mixed tags... That was a quote, not a spoiler...


Gah-anyway, DL-6 was the police department's code for the murder case. And that murder was preventable. All are. The Earthquake that preceded it was not preventable, and maybe the panic of Yanni Yogi was not preventable. However, even with those factors aside, the murder was comitted by Manfred Von Karma as the power returned and the elevator doors opened, leading the way to the passengers' possible rescue. However, former prosecutor Von Karma chose to commit murder that day. If he had simply thought Gregory Edgeworth not worth the trouble, he'd still be a prosecutor and Gregory Edgeworth would still be alive, DL-6 prevented.

Sure, it happened. But it didn't have to. Murder is always something that doesn't have to happen. It does, though, because people choose that path for themselves.

The Defense rests, Your Honor.

This thread is in the section for general discussion and the first game, and it's not marked for spoilers...Is it really alright to have all these spoilers for the second game?>_>

And you can't prove there was an emergency hatch in that elevator. Even if there was, maybe they could not reach it-Miles was a child, and Yanni was pretty short. And where exactly would they go from the top of the elevator?>_>

They wouldn't move.

Part of the elevator's design is, mandated by law, actually, a top hatch for rescue in case of fire or irreparable damage to the lift. It's along with the brakes that deploy if power is lost, so the multi-ton object does not end up crashing down several storeys to its passengers' demise. Add that to the training of law enforcement officers, Yanni Yogi was one of which, goes over these features, inside and out, in fault-zone areas, such as LA. If he had kept his wits about him, he'd have remembered that the oxygen supply in an elevator is rather tenuous because they're rather airtight. So, in cases where the elevator is stranded, one would be able to open the hatch. These elevators aren't extremely tall. Even though Yogi was short, if he hoisted Miles on his shoulders or gave Gregory a boost, they would have been able to open said hatch and gain access to a steady oxygen supply.

I can't say for sure if it's dictated by protocol, but I can say it's in their training, and that's what matters. But, what matters even more is Von Karma. Even if the men in the elevator had all simply lost consciousness due to hypoxia, the timing of macroscopic events, such as earthquakes and power supply, is not a factor. The power always would have returned in time to save them. Manfred Von Karma, even if he hadn't been shot, would have likely been intrigued by the opening elevator door across the way, a byproduct of human instinct. Thus, he would have, no matter what, looked at the elevator and seen its unconscious passengers. He may or may not have, at that point, tried to take Yogi's pistol and use it to get his revenge, but the way the events transpired, even if everything up until the doors opening transpired as they did, the choice was still in Manfred Von Karma's fully-capable hands to murder Gregory Edgeworth or not.

He chose to, and so, DL-6 occurred. If he hadn't, well I've said this before.

My arguement hinges on 2 points, independently. If one or the other had occurred, or both, DL-6 would have been prevented.

In the heat of the moment Yanni forgot his training lets say that.
He was clearly slightly more unstable than the others since Gregory tried to calm him down first while Miles simply sat in the corner.
He panicked and got angry at the nice lawyer rather than think clearly enough to escape. Simple it was unavoidable.

Also this is Karma we're talking about, he don't get mad, he gets even of course he'd destroy the man who crushed his perfect record.

I don't see how either of these are variable.

That one little diffrence coud've changed the entire outcome of the GS Series. I mean if he shot a hole trough that glass, that woud mean VonKarma might've been shot in the heart instead of the shoulder. If Gregory Edgeworth lived, then Miles woud've become a defense attorney. That woud lead to Phoenix not becoming one because second of the 2 reasons he became a lawyer was to face Edgeworth in court. Of course, there are countless possibilities, but this one seems like the one that woud've most likely happeaned.

I don't see why he would have become a prosecutor. The only reason he decided to become a laywer to face Edgeworth is because Edgeworth had sealed himself off from his past and the sorrow his father's death brought. If Edgeworth had become a defense attorney, like his father, and not gone through the entire ordeal with Von Karma, he'd probably have remained friends with Nick and Larry. Nick would probably not have pursued law at all, and the Feys' misfortune probably wouldn't have happened.

the police also fails to do a body search of people involved for the missing bullet and other stuff and/or allows von karma to leave with a bloody shoulder (couldn't they at least smell the blood?), especially when he can be the culprit.

then again, the police in pw are extremely incompetent.

Well, since the game is modelled after the real world, one assumes it would have real-world features, such as glass panels on the doors, lighting inside, and various safety devices.

You said nothing of my other point, and even if the games are modelled after the real world, they still contain many differences.

As for Von Karma's escape, he most likely did so before they were even called. The hallway where he was must have been deserted, otherwise, he never would have been able to kill Gregory and make a run for it. It wouldn't be that hard to cover up his shoulder with his hand and run for the exit. Even if someone saw him, there'd be no reason to jump to any conclusions.

As for Von Karma's escape, he most likely did so before they were even called. The hallway where he was must have been deserted, otherwise, he never would have been able to kill Gregory and make a run for it. It wouldn't be that hard to cover up his shoulder with his hand and run for the exit. Even if someone saw him, there'd be no reason to jump to any conclusions.

von karma is perfect, he wouldn't let any witnesses see him.

either way, the police (in real life) could have deduced he was in the courthouse or at least nearby when the murder happened, and then call him in as a potential witness or culprit. he has the motive, at the very least.

L_J's right. If they didn't fail, they'd bring everyone who was there prior to the murder in for questioning. Karma, especially. He had motive.

As long as the discussion continues reasonably and doesn't stray off topic (i.e. "what if" scenarios) I don't see the harm in leaving it open for now.

Ah, I get it.

You're a cut apart from the rest, Croik, but I digress.

I guess, to answer the OP's question, yes, DL-6 could have been prevented. The world would be completely different if it had, but it could have been.
