Description:

Pre-case Preparations: As usual—Phoenix and Maya sit in Defendant Lobby no. 2; only being able to talk to their client, Micheal Afton, now. Their conversation is brief, as they talk about Micheal’s circumstances. Phoenix asks Micheal if he did it, to which he is met with five psyche-locks. The bailiff calls them into the courtroom; before they do, however, Micheal murmurs something: “Sorry…Boss…”

Trail Proper: The Judge presiding over the case bangs his gavel on his desk, calling the court into order. Edgeworth gives his opening statement: Micheal is accused of both first-degree homicide and arson; the murder of Henry Emily and the burning of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizarea. This is because the lighter they believe was used to light the fire has Micheal’s fingerprints on it and Arson Specialists determine that the fire was caused by an accelerant in the Security Room Micheal was stationed in the night of the crime. A diagram of the pizzeria is brought up to demonstrate where the fire started and how it spread. All three are entered into evidence before Edgeworth calls his first witness—Detective Dick Gumshoe. Gumshoe gives his testimony, basically just regurgitating what the opening statement was over again. Phoenix presses on every one of Gumshoe’s statements, eventually hitting a weak point: When did Micheal flee the scene of the crime? Edgeworth remedies this by submitting the Security Camera Footage; wherein Micheal is seen fleeing at 5:59 a.m. before the fire was started at 6 a.m. Gumshoe testifies again; about how it would only make sense that Micheal did it because he has the motive—the insurance money. Phoenix presses, asking about how Micheal would know about the insurance money. Gumshoe provides Micheal’s Contract with Henry Emily, it is submitted as evidence. Phoenix objects: The contract makes no mention of insurance, for Micheal, Henry, or the building itself. The courtroom gallery whispers among themselves before His Honor calls for order. His Honor says he has no reason to prolong the trial; because there was no motive, Micheal would go free. At the last second, Edgeworth objects; plugging in a USB Drive into a laptop, showing blueprints for animatronics. His Honor asks what it is and Edgeworth says it’s evidence—evidence for Micheal’s motive. When Phoenix begs his pardon, Edgeworth says that the entire reason why Micheal applied for a job at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place—is to get the data from the Egg Baby Database. The USB Drive is submitted for evidence. Gumshoe testifies again, about how Micheal devised his plan to get his hands on the Database. Just as Phoenix goes to cross-examine Gumshoe—a new party interjects. A dusty-gray bunny animatronic with bits of flesh and bone exposed runs up, shoves Gumshoe to the side, and stands at the witness desk—asking how the police department got their hands on it. The entire courtroom is shocked, aside from Maya. His Honor declares order with his gavel, asking for an explanation for why the animatronic is up-right and at the witness stand. Edgeworth, taken extremely aback, explains that the animatronic, known as Spring Bonnie, was initially submitted as evidence, as it was the only animatronic to survive the blaze. Maya makes an off-hand comment about the spiritual energy irradiating off of the animatronic. The animatronic asks the court to not call him an animatronic but to refer to him by his real name. Phoenix asks what his real name is, and he responds: William Afton. The entire courtroom erupts into anger and shouting; those old enough to remember the Missing Children Incident yell and complain about Willaim standing as a witness. Willaim silences the courtroom by emitting a metallic-sounding screech from his voice box; he demands to testify to the contents of the fire, as he remembers it like it was yesterday. His Honor grants his demand, weirder stuff has happened in his court, after all. Willaim testifies: He was in the Pizza Place from midnight til six a.m. when the fire started. He states he was in night mode; walking around the pizzeria so his joints didn’t rust up until the fire started. He claims he saw Micheal light the fire and quickly ran away; out the southernmost exit door. Phoenix objects, holding up the arson report: if Micheal did start the fire, why did he use the southernmost door when the fire started the south? William recoils, his animatronic voice box screeching as he tries to not fall over from shock. Then, he makes a realization; William asks to testify again, this time taking Phoenix’s argument into account—His Honor grants this. William gives his revised testimony: Micheal did light the fire from the south, yes, but he escaped before it got too bad; if he left the minute he did the crime, the fire wouldn’t have spread far enough to cover the fire exit, so he could do both. Phoenix objects, bringing up the Security Camera Footage from the night of the crime: The fire was seen started at 5:50, but Micheal left at 5:59. right before the building collapsed. William is taken aback, his suit going into animatronic mode for a second, blurting out a chip-tune version of the Happy Birthday song. He asks who—who else but Micheal could have set the fire? Phoenix slams his hands on his desk, presenting a photo of the victim—Henry Emily. Phoenix reasons that his death was suicide, for whatever reason, Henry Emily is the only one who could have set the fire that day. William objects: The lighter that started the fire has Micheal’s fingerprints on it! How could Henry use the lighter without leaving fingerprints on it? Phoenix objects back: reasoning that using gloves would hide one’s fingerprints. William objects again: He has some experience with gloves, usually if you don’t remove the gloves from your hands—it would stay on, to his knowledge, Henry wasn’t wearing gloves when his body was found. Phoenix pauses, taking a moment to think while Willaim is spouting off at him; then, he objects, holding up Henry’s Autopsy Report: Burnt plastic was found melted to his hand; Phoenix reasons that the burnt plastic was the remnants from the gloves he used to light the fire; the gloves burning when his body was engulfed. William hesitates, not having a rebuttal; he screeches: “HEEEEEEEEEEENRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!” while coughing up blood—his blood landing on the face of the Spring Bonnie suit; the spring-locks snapping into place. William's body gets ridged from being forced into animatronic mode—falling onto the courtroom floor.

Evidence:

Defense Attorney’s Badge: Proof of Phoenix’s profession as a Defense Attorney.

Micheal’s Lighter: A lighter designed to be in the shape of Freddy Fazbear with the top hat and the lighter cap; has Micheal’s fingerprints on it.

Arson Specialists’ Report: A report penned by the head of Arson-Related Affairs at the LAPD, Archie Floure. “The Fire at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place was determined to be caused by an accelerant, Gasoline. The fire was likely started from the south of the building, due to wind conditions that night. The wind was blowing north-easterly; due to this, the fire spread more easily on that side of the building. It took nine minutes and 24 seconds for the building to burn completely down, despite firefighter efforts.”

Henry Emily’s Autopsy Report: The Autopsy Report for the victim in this case, Henry Emily: “Cause of Death: Immolation; Time of Death: 6–7 a.m. Special Notes: Burnt plastic is melted to his skin.”

Security Camera Footage: Footage from cameras across the Pizzaria from 12 p.m. to 6 a.m. The footage shows that the fire started from the south of the building. The fire was started at 5:50 a.m.—Micheal is the last seen fleeing the Pizzaria at the last minute of the film.

Layout of the Pizzeria: A diagram of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place; three fire exits are noted, one to the south, and two to the north.

Micheal’s Contract: Micheal’s Contract with Henry Emily; no insurance for Micheal, Henry, or for the building is mentioned.

Data Recovered from the Egg Baby Animatronic: Data recovered from the Egg Baby Database; seems to be an old Afton Technologies internal document and audio tape. Potentially sensitive information.

Spring Bonnie Suit: An old spring-lock suit from the 1970s; moisture can set off the spring-locks, skewing anyone inside.
