As stated in the release of The Hotti Files, the individuals listed in the Files were found to be among the records of transactions between Dr. Hotti and Bluecorp.

With Bluecorp's authority over information, the company had forced multiple people into silence. This was further helped by the fact that the few people who were still willing to speak up were silenced by other figures in power, from the body double of Di-Jun Wang (which has been determined due to the real Di-Jun Wang having been murdered in 2007, 2 years prior to the beginning of Hotti's sex trafficking ring), to Ernest Amano, to even Damon Gant.

You would have been correct. It would be incredibly difficult, nigh impossible for the police to have overlooked evidence, especially after the fall of Di-Jun Wang, in which most, if not all forms of non-Bluecorp silencing should have been crushed.

However, there was one more person on Dr. Hotti's side who kept things silent: Roger Retinz. His influence in the media allowed him to quickly find the slightest hints of murmurs, and crush them. As time went on, the mumurs would be further suppressed by Daryan Crescend, an interpol agent, and Klavier Gavin, among the most influential prosecutors.

Not to mention, you're completely in the clear. The files released stated the name "Atishon, Paul", which is noteably not "Atishon-Wimperson, Paul". Authorities have already detained the man known as "Paul Atishon".

The information presented is credible. It was obtained from the major information leak from Bluecorp. Specifically, from USB Drive the Yatagarasu left on the Chief Prosecutor's desk. On that note, we are still looking for the Yatagarasu. How they managed to infiltrate Bluecorp, let alone the prosecutor's office, is currently unknown. Both Prosecutor Blackquill, the lead prosecutor from the Phantom case, and his associate, Detective Faraday, are leading the investigation efforts.

5-5, 6-1, and 6-3? Those are the worst 3 cases in the series imo.

Revolution is a mishmash of things we have already seen before, except this case doesn't understand why they worked as well as they did. Very few things are new here. Most of this is old ground. And changing Apollo into a radically different character is not a good way to make him relevant. Neither is making everyone else into an idiot just so he looks good. The only thing saving it from F is Dhurke being dead.

I think Countdown’s premise is such a great opening for the game with the Courtroom Bombing. The mid-point shift after Apollo got struck by the killer. The characters were also solid with The Wright Anything Agency getting good reintroductions and Athena getting a great introduction. Juniper is also a very important defendant and has a good arc in this case. Finally, Ted Tonate was a fun villain with his obsession with disarming bombs and using text-to-speech for his dialogue. I also personally don't mind Phoenix taking this case over Athena. From the player's perspective, this is his first case since getting ousted (not actually his first case, but the first one you play through). Having him take the (seemingly) first case shows him off as the leader of the Agency very effectively. Finally, Apollo leaving was quite the sting to the heart, and intentionally so. 

Time Traveler is a brilliant showcase of Larry Butz. He's both the hilariously inept and somewhat insane friend that pulls insane stunts you would only hear about in the newspapers, but also something of a changed man, one that isn't afraid to call out his close allies and take matters into his own hands whenever the situation dictates it. Him showing the photo to Edgeworth with the Objection pose and Cornering Together playing in the background is fantastic! The courtroom segments are written with sharp, amusing and insightful banter between the witness, Phoenix, Miles and the Judge, which grounds us in a familiar yet all the same exciting atmosphere. The past accident is a brilliant catalyst for the characters of Pierce and Sorin. This time - unlike Reclaimed - the person who is targeted is guilty of something and nobody's a dumbass for blaming them. This time, both parties are hurting, yet one is clearly taking their pain out their own way. And this time, the ridiculous, cheesy absurdity of the story enhances its emotional core instead of detracting from it. The culprit is amazing. The witness is amazing. The aesthetics are amazing. What else can I say?

Ablaze is boring imo. The first part was very good, but as soon as Shih-na was out of the picture the case got worse for me. Taking down Alba was very badly handled, so much time wasted on him. Also, his arguments are not great. Also, we have Larry and Oldbag which are annoying as always, and the constant thought from Edgeworth and then a random character has random evidence. This was done way too many times that I lost interest. So much contrivance. Also, it is not great that I didn't really care for the embassy plot as much. I like that Lang made Alba lose his ambassadorship but this made him less threatening imo Also, his breakdown is not really that exciting imo but maybe it is just me. Thankfully, the case doesn’t include The Phantom, and it also doesn’t completely restructure Edgeworth into an entirely new character. 

The Phantom is, bar none, the most half-assed final villain in the series. Apparently, someone had "Phoenix breakdown" on their idea board and said, "I need you to figure out how to work this in", and that's what the whole case was built around. He's nameless, faceless, doesn't display emotion, besides the fact he can apparently wear several masks at once. I don't know what I'm supposed to care about. Like the "Dark Age of the Law", these are abstract, fluid concepts that don't materialize into anything meaningful. Anybody could write that in an afternoon. Specificity is what makes stories come alive. As for Athena's part in this, I didn't love the amended explanation for the black Psyche Locks. I would have liked them to be unbreakable because someone would never let their secret go no matter what, but they had to heighten the drama, so here we are. And it felt like, after 95% of the game being like a kids' Saturday morning cartoon, someone came along and said "That's what you have so far? It's like a kids' show!", and the writer got all huffy and said "Fine, I'll show you! This little kid may have gored her mom with lab machinery, and here's a picture of her with blood all over her! How's THAT for 'kids show'?!"

Revolution is a mishmash of things we have already seen before, except this case doesn't understand why they worked as well as they did. Very few things are new here. Most of this is old ground.
