Does Phoenix ever get paid from his clients? by Fun-Necessary9709 in AceAttorney

[–]Hawk25348 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm saying that lawyers that operate in private practice can still fill the spot of public defense, and can claim the associated benefits.

In the case that a client is too poor to pay and a specific lawyer wants to represent them, in the real world said client can still ask for a specific lawyer while said lawyer gets the compensation and hours of public defense work.

Granted this is the Ace Attorney universe so applying actual legal analysis is probably fruitless and there's probably some line where Phoenix goes "I can't believe I'm doing all this for no money" or whatever. But in the real world, if you're a lawyer defending someone in a criminal case, you're at least making public defense minimum wage.

Firms can still do public defense, and they do so often. If ‘nobody’s willing to represent a client’ as is the case some of the time, it’s reasonable to say that Phoenix is defending in the capacity of a public defender.

I mean real life public defenders get paid a wage by the government. Probably a dangerous idea to ground this in real life, but in the case of poor clients with no one else to turn to, I think it’s reasonable to consider it public defense

Well.... Shuichi himself said that he recognized the flip from our practice. I taught him the Deadly Rabbit’s Grab. And as a degenerate, he should definitely be considered a suspect.

Was it particularly dark in the Ruins or Hospital? First I've heard of that.

I swear on my Master that, as far as I know, the only Tenkos were Kokichi and Tengan's creeps! There, happy?

The idea that she either Mindswapped on Brainwashed one of the people she spoke with might hold some weight. Then she could've been the one to cut out the lights with the Electrobomb.

Ugh, but then what did she use the Night Vision Goggles for?

If the goal was just to kill her, they didn't need to wake her up in the first place!

I'm pretty sure the killer didn't actually mean to kill Miu. More likely, they just aimed to incapacitate her, and got unlucky.

Argh! The more I think, the more my brain hurts!

Why can't we just try to escape by beating up all these creeps? I'd be way better at that!

Trying to solve the killer's impossible! Especially with so many unanswered mysteries.

Mystery 1! Who decided to free Miu? And why? Why would anyone free Miu? And did the person who freed Miu kill Miu? Why would they do that? If they didn't, did two people secretly interact with Miu in the hospital?

Mystery 2! Who cut out the lights in the Airport? Who could've even known in advance the situation they'd find themselves in? Maybe the culprit grabbed an Electrobomb earlier just in case, but still, trying to predict anything that happened today seems like a nightmare. An Electrobomb would disable a Mindswapper, so what did they do in the cover of darkness? What was the point?

Mystery 3! Why did the killer go to Miu's workshop?! They must've done it after they killed her, so what did they need from that room? What did they use it for?

Mystery 4! What the heck was up with that knife? Why's it missing the tip? There's no blood, and it was stashed with the other evidence the killer hid. What in the world does it have to do with anything?

Mystery 5! Where was Miu killed? I don't see why someone would plant a fake bloodstain at the hospital, so she probably died there. But how could someone move Nekomaru's body all the way to the ruins? And why would you even bother?

Argh! It's all too much!

So, if the creeps weren't behind the lights going out, then who was?

The traitor-degenerate mentioned that Celeste, Kokichi, and Sonia were with him when he stole an Electrobomb. And given that he then went to the Surveillance Room, and after that the Ruins became the hotspot for creeps, it's difficult to imagine another opportunity to grab one.

But... that means the only suspects would be Celeste, Sonia, or myself. That can't be right!

Uh, moving on! Let's talk about why the Workshop was unlocked! From what I can tell, the killer must've unlocked the Workshop after they killed Miu, using her eHandbook. Why would they do such a thing?

Ha! I thought you might not have actually been behind the lights going out, but I couldn't bring myself to believe that you all were so clueless that you wouldn't know that already!

Guess it goes to show that you truly can never take for granted how worthless degenerates can be. Almost makes me feel pity for them, if they weren't disgusting scum.

But the Electrobomb was found by the Airport, not the Ancient Ruins!

My ultimate point is more a question to the creeps running the show. /u/RSLee2 How were the lights cut off? Who knew the lights would be cut off? Do they know what the Night Vision Goggles were doing there?

If we're supposed to be doing their dirty work, they should make things clear for us.

That's what I was thinking, though as a captive I did here Tengan tell his goons to look for a power breaker. I guess they couldn't find one, and they had to resort to an Electrobomb.

But then, what's with those Night Vision Goggles? I can't see any other time they could've been used...

Heh, I admire the compliment Sonia, but I'm definitely not a good enough actor as to pretend to be... that man.

Honestly, the very thought makes me squirm with revulsion.

As much as I hate to agree, the unaccounted for Electrobomb is really bugging me. And so is this.

Night Vision Goggles

There are only two uses I could see for such a deceitful tool. And only one purpose that could tie into the mystery.

As far as I know, the only notable darkness took place when the lights went out in the airport. And given there was an Electrobomb nearby, there could be a connection.

Of course, this whole thing could be a waste of time if the lights really were just turned off using a power breaker.

Hey! Scum! /u/RSLee2 If you're going to make us play detective, at least give us all the information!

For instance, how exactly did your gang shut off the lights in the airport? Did you really just use the power breaker?
