EVIDENCE
Attorney's Badge
Type: Other
One of my possessions.
No one would believe I
was a defense attorney
if I didn't carry this.
>Examine: Text on back of badge
Ema: So this is what the back of
the badge looks like!
Ema: And I always thought it had a
safety pin!
Phoenix: Each badge has a number carved
into it.
Phoenix: That way, you can tell which
attorney it belongs to.
Ema: You mean you couldn't lend
your badge to anyone?
Phoenix: No, I'd be found out right
away.
Ema: Well, that's no fun!
[Note: Phoenix's badge number is 26381.]
>Examine: Text on back of badge [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: A number is engraved on the
back of the badge.
Phoenix: I wish they'd put my name on
it instead...
Wallet
Type: Evidence
Retrieved from the
Underground Parking Lot.
>Examine: Clasp of wallet.
Phoenix: This... This is an ID card.
Phoenix: (Detective Bruce Goodman,
ID # 5842189...)
Ema: See? Well?
Isn't scientific investigation
useful?
Phoenix: I guess... Though I don't
see what "science" has to
do with it.
Goodman's ID
Type: Evidence
Retrieved from the
Underground Parking Lot.
An investigator's ID card.
Found at Prosecutor's Office
crime scene. (ID# 5842189)
>Examine: Text on card
Phoenix: A name and ID number are
written here.
Phoenix: "Detective Bruce Goodman,
ID# 5842189"
Ema: I wonder why they only use
numbers for IDs.
Phoenix: What else would they use?
Ema: Letters, silly! They're the
reason we have a written
language in the first place!
Phoenix: True...
Ema: "Detective: Bruce Goodman, ID: YABADAB"
Ema: See? Wouldn't that be better?
Phoenix: "YABADAB"?
Well, it does have a certain
ring to it...
Ema: Exactly my point!
Tee-hee!
Phoenix: (It doesn't take much to
amuse her.)
>Examine: Text on card [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: His name and ID number is
written on it.
Phoenix: "Detective Bruce Goodman,
ID# 5842189"
Prosecutor Trophy
Type: Other
Retrieved from the
High Prosecutor's Office.
Given to Edgeworth, King of
Prosecutors, at the P.D. on
the day of the murder.
>Examine: Plate on bottom of trophy
Ema: Hey, check it out! There's a
metal plate here!
Phoenix: Hm. It looks like the names of
all the previous recipients
are engraved on it.
Ema: Wow. One guy's listed a bunch
of times!
Ema: "von Karma"... I guess he must
be a foreigner?
Phoenix: Uh, yeah. That's probably it.
Ema: Well wherever he's from, he
must have been an amazing
prosecutor!
Ema: I'd like to meet this Mr.
"von Karma" sometime!
Phoenix: (When she says it, his name
does have kind of a ring
to it...)
>Examine: Plate on bottom of trophy [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: "King of Prosecutors."
The names of past recipients
are etched on the plate.
Phoenix: Manfred von Karma's name
appears here too...
How ironic.
>Update
Two years ago the "halberd"
was removed at Gant's behest,
giving it its current form.
Edgeworth's Knife
Type: Weapons
Retrieved from the
Underground Parking Lot.
The murder weapon, found in
Edgeworth's toolbox. Traces
of victim's blood. No prints.
>Examine: Blood on knife
Ema: This must be the victim's
blood, right?
Phoenix: Either that, or Edgeworth cut
himself peeling an apple.
Phoenix: What's Edgeworth doing with a
knife like this anyway?
Ema: Hey! Maybe he spends his
weekends roughing it in the
wild!
Phoenix: Edgeworth? In the wild? I
think my fruit-peeling theory
is more likely.
Ema: Are you kidding? I always
pictured him as an
outdoorsman!
Phoenix: (Now there's a scary
thought...)
>Examine: Blood on knife [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: The victim Bruce Goodman's
blood still remains on the
blade.
Phoenix: I wonder if Edgeworth got
this knife because the
handle matches his clothes...?
Parking Stub
Type: Other
Received from Miles
Edgeworth.
Record of parking in the
Prosecutor's Office lot.
Entered lot at 5:12 PM.
>Examine: Text on front of stub
Phoenix: "Miles Edgeworth – 17:12"...
Phoenix: This is dated the day of the
crime.
Ema: The murder took place three
minutes after Edgeworth parked
his car.
Ema: If only he was held up at a
couple extra red lights...
Ema: he wouldn't have been caught
up in this whole affair.
Phoenix: Perhaps...
Ema: It just goes to show you
never know what'll happen when
you run a yellow light!
>Examine: Text on front of stub [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: "Miles Edgeworth – 17:12"...
Phoenix: It's dated the day of the
murder.

Type: Documents
Received from Detective
Dick Gumshoe
Received from Detective
Gumshoe. Allows bearer to
investigate the crime scene.
>Examine: Writing on envelope
Ema: Hey, look here! It looks like
something's been erased.
Phoenix: Maybe it was a letter or
something to Detective
Gumshoe.
Ema: Let's see...
"Annual bonus: $20."
Ema: Um...
I think a couple zeros are
missing.
Phoenix: No, that sounds about right.
(At least in that detective's
case...)
Ema: ...
Maybe I should rethink my
career as an investigator.

Everyone has different tastes,

Pink Princess strap!

know.
Phoenix: (I see he's as popular as ever
with the kids...)
>Examine: Switch

have a strap on my mobile
phone at all.
Phoenix: I hate having useless things
dangling off it.
>Examine: Switch

Phoenix: The redial button. It dials
the number of the last person

Ema: This blood...
It's my sister's, right?
Phoenix: It appears so.
Phoenix: (Lana's right hand was
bandaged when I saw her in
jail.)
Phoenix: (She must have cut herself at
the time of the crime...)
Ema: Poor Sis...
>Examine: Blood on sole of shoe
Ema: AAAH! There's blood here too!
Phoenix: On the sole of the shoe?
It's got to be the victim's.
Phoenix: He must have stepped in a
puddle of his own blood.
Ema: All this blood...
It's horrible!
Phoenix: (Hmm...)
Phoenix: (This blood might be an
important clue...)
>Examine: Blood on top of shoe [Phoenix Only]

white enamel surface.

Found at the crime scene,
wrapped in the defendant's
muffler. Small tag attached.
>Examine: Tag
Ema: There's a small tag on
this knife.
Phoenix: It seems to say "SL-9 2"...
Ema: What does that mean?
Phoenix: Well...
(I've heard something
similar...)
Phoenix: ("DL-6"... of "DL-6 Incident"
fame...)
Ema: But... it's strange.
Phoenix: Huh? What is?
Ema: I'm not certain...
But I get the feeling I've
seen this somewhere before!
Ema: Letters like this... or
letters that looked a lot
like this... somehow.
>Update
>Examine: Tag
Ema: There's a small tag on the
knife.
Phoenix: It says,
"SL-9 2."
Ema: What's that supposed to mean?
Phoenix: I'm not sure...
(But it reminds me of a
similar code...)
Phoenix: ("DL-6." Maybe it's a case
number?)
Ema: That's weird.
Phoenix: What?
Ema: I can't remember where,
Ema: but I think I've seen
something like this before.
Ema: Something similar to what's
written on this tag. It wasn't
that long ago either...
Phoenix: (Maybe I should check the
Court Record again.)
>Examine: Tag [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: "SL-9" is written on a small
tag attached to the knife.
Phoenix: It was the weapon used in that
incident two years ago; and
has known many victims.

to murderer Joe Darke.
Luminol Testing Fluid

Solution used for scientific
investigation. Finds blood
traces. "Spray" to use.
>Examine: Name on bottom of bottle
Phoenix: (Someone used a marker to
write their name on this.)
Phoenix: "Ema Skye"
Phoenix: Don't tell me you bring this
with you everywhere you go.
Ema: Well, you never know where
something might go down!
Phoenix: (Just what kind of a world
do you think we live in...?)
>Examine: Name on bottom of bottle
Phoenix: Ema Skye is written on the
side in permanent marker.
Phoenix: She seems awfully possessive
about a can of luminol.
Steak Lunch

Received from
Angel Starr.
Received from Ms. Starr.
Excellent for putting Officer
Marshall in a good mood.
>Examine: Steak
Ema: Wow, my mouth is watering!
Ema: I can almost hear the sound of
steak frying on the grill!
Phoenix: No doubt it's all cold and
tough by now.
Ema: No, I'm sure it's delicious!
Ema: Ms. Starr poured her heart
into making this!
Phoenix: So long as she didn't put any
other organs in there...
>Examine: Ingredients on back of box
Phoenix: Let's see...
"Ingredients: Meat"
Ema: She must mean "beef." She
probably just wrote it
generically.
Phoenix: Uh... yeah. Let's hope so.
Ema: Of course, as a scientist, I
have to check what additives
she used.
Phoenix: Go to town.
Ema: Huh? It says here...
"Hours of sweat and labor."
Phoenix: So that's why the sauce is so
salty...

Unstable Jar
Type: Evidence
Retrieved from the
Evidence Room.
Jar pieced back together from
fragments found at the crime
scene. A piece is missing.
>Examine: Blood stains
Ema: Hey, look here! It's hard to
make out, but there's a dark
red stain here.
Phoenix: Hmm...
Looks like blood.
Ema: Do you think Detective
Goodman's blood somehow got
on it when he was stabbed?
Phoenix: Not likely.
Phoenix: This blood looks like it's
been here for months, maybe
longer.
Phoenix: (This jar was evidence in the
SL-9 Incident...)
Phoenix: (That might be when the blood
got on it.)
>Examine: Blood stains [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: There's a trace of old blood
on this jar.
Phoenix: This was evidence in the
SL-9 Incident...
Phoenix: The blood must be from
back then.
>Update
Evidence from the SL-9 Incident.
Final fragment found in Chief
Gant's safe. Blood traces.
>Examine: Blood on complete jar
Ema: Hey, look here! It's hard to
make out, but there's a dark
red stain here.
Phoenix: Hmm...
Looks like blood.
Ema: This piece the Chief has is
different, though.
Ema: The blood stains on the other
pieces are just spots,
Ema: but this one's a line!
Phoenix: (That is odd...)
>Examine: Blood on complete jar [Phoenix Only]
Phoenix: The dark red stains must be
blood traces from the incident
two years ago.
Phoenix: Only the fragment found in
Chief Gant's office still has
lines remaining on it.
>Update
Final fragment found in Chief
Gant's safe. "Ema" is written
on the surface in blood.
Rubber Glove
Type: Evidence
Retrieved from the
Evidence Room.
The tag reads "SL-9 incident."
Extremely thin rubber glove.
>Examine: Tag
Phoenix: The tag says, "SL-9 11."
Phoenix: I guess this is another piece
of evidence from that case.
Ema: You know, I never did care for
the word, "tag."
It's confusing.
Phoenix: Huh? What's so confusing about
that?
Ema: Do you know how many other
words sound like it? "Bag,"
"Gag," "Nag," "Lag," "Xag"...
Phoenix: "Xag"...? Is that a word?
Ema: Do you challenge me...?
Phoenix: What, are we playing a word
game n
