That was something that happened in the first trial last time. This guy was managing some checks for footprints and handwriting and stuff... and he didn't ever turn in his own handwriting sample or include himself in the comparisons. A-and even after we realized that, nobody else was really pressing him that hard about it, or they let him off the hook because some other piece of evidence didn't match even though he was still being all squirrely and weird.
And we were running out of time then too, so I went after him, and— he cut my face and it was a whole thing, but we got it right at the very last minute that time! So. I think I felt like maybe this would be like that. ...I hoped it would.
[ though he still feels weird framing it that way, like he's a defense attorney. he always kind of thought most of them were sleazy people representing guilty criminals for money and trying to get in the way of justice.
he guesses appreciates them more now. ]
It would... probably feel really bad to go out knowing no one believed you.
[she doesn't even know what a defense attorney is, but she sighs.]
On the station, our first trial, we got it very wrong. We blamed Mollymauk's friend from home, and we were all so sure, but she hadn't done it. She died anyway.
I often do think about it. It was an important moment for me. I didn't think I cared what happened at trial, so long as I was not endangered. But I didn't like seeing Mollymauk and Beauregard suffering for something they hadn't done.

And it would have been dreadful, if Kazunari was telling the truth and there was no one to defend him.

It's hard to forget how that felt.

[ and that was the one edgeworth was there for, wasn't it...? ]
Were you thinking about that during this trial too?
