The Stolen Turnabout from T&T is a grand larceny trial and from what I remember was pretty good. I wish they did more like that. Spoilers below for those who haven't reach that case yet: Granted in becomes a murder mystery in the end but hey, you get what you can
@@RoseSupreme The Attorney's Badge is always listed as an option for which piece of evidence that you can select. It never proves anything besides the fact that you are licensed to practice law, which you have been doing the whole time.
You are probably onto something. The animation studio might just be a front to something more sinister. ...then again, it may also be that it's just a defunct factory building that was cheaper for the studio to buy/rent than a proper office building.
I love how, instead of saying "Well, the date could've been faked", he just starts admitting his Dad stole. If he'd kept his composure, there would still be plausible deniability.
To be fair, that argument would have been seen as desperate at that point by the judge, so it would have only stalled things at best. He couldn't prove anymore his dad didn't steal Lampwick's work, so he just caved and tried to gain sympathy from the audience by arguing, "What choice do we have? It's the only way we can make good stuff." Sure, it made him look worse for spouting that rhetoric, but he was screwed either way. He was not weaseling his way out of this and he knew it.
@@VGamingJunkie While I agree reasonable doubt could have possibly still worked for Meyers Jr, it would have been very short lived at best. Let's say he did argue the point, "The date could have been faked." Well, then all they would have to do to clear that up is bring in some experts to closely examine the signature and paper it was on to see if it was indeed from that time period and after they verified it was, it would have been case over. Like I said in my last comment, Meyers Jr knew he couldn't weasel his way out of this. He was screwed no matter what he did from that point on, so he tried pleading his case to the audience because he knew the judge pretty much had made up his mind about the case after seeing that artwork.
Ok straight up "that supposed evidence you destroyed bit" is straight out of an ace attorney game and that "animation is built of plagiarism" sounds like actual breakdown dialogue
@@tristanband4003 No, I KNOW it's not. Bet you don't even know what copyright does. It's invaluable for writers, artists, musicians, etc. You probably just think of UMG when you hear the word "copyright".
@@absolutezerochill2700 Nah, if it wasn't obvious by existence of villages of japanese mediums, ninjas, literal Yakuza and police uniforms, it's intended to be Japan. The setting changes based on language you play on.
Technically, if they ~did~ have a copy, by law, they must give it to the defense. Edit: Actually, any information must be shared between the plaintiff and the defense. If any side has exonerating evidence, by law it must be shared.
Y'know, I'd say 'It should've come up in discovery,' but I think we all know from Phoenix Wright, that universe has NO concept of discovery. Or due process!
Let me also add that Nixon (not that you'll read about this on any news outlet) was recently exonerated of all wrong-doing in the Watergate Scandal because the lawyers working on the prosecution recently all died. All of their notes were seized and all sorts of exculpatory evidence was there that proved Nixon had zero hand in what happened. The truth finally comes out. Too little, too late, but it's out.
@@sarcasticguy4311 What you're claiming is so absurd and unrelated to the post I nearly sh*t my pants laughing. For the record, Shephard's book mostly casts doubt on Dean and Sirica due to their misrepresentation of the strength of the evidence and Sirica's lack of impartiality. It casts doubt on Nixon's involvement with hush payments, but that's about it. Only the people who think that Nixon was impeached for literally and directly ordered the Watergate break-in would consider him to be exonerated by Shephard.
Given how bad most people in Springfield are at their jobs, I don't think Lionel Hutz is that incompetent a lawyer at all. He's actually won a few cases, although it's usually because of someone else, and when he _loses_ a case, again it's often because of someone else.
@@jamesgravil9162 We're not measuring his skill by Springfield standards. We're judging him by professionalism and effectiveness as a lawyer in general. Besides man, it was supposed to be a joke. 252 people thought it was funny.
Phoenix wright: really?, Do you apologize me?, After all I did?. Well, it shouldn't be me, you should be apologizing Miles Edgeworth for that!!. "Miles Edgeworth: "gah", wright!!, I told you not to mention my involvement!. Franziska: i'll take note of that declaration, Miles Edgeworth will be published really severe
@@lautarogomez9711 1. Work on your grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. 2. I don't recall Franziska ever questioning Edgeworth's competence as a lawyer. In fact, as I recall, she did the exact opposite. 3. What's supposed to be the punchline here?
The sheer amount of effort that must've went into this is insane. I really hope this gets picked up by the algorithm one day because this deserves 10x the amount of views it has.
Should've challenged the pictures authenticity. The only thing dating it is a handwritten note at the corner which could've been written at a later time.
@@5xg378 they will have to test the ink on the note to prove that Chester made itchy. Not sure how accurate to test were back when this episode was made. They would've argue that the test is unreliable which is a flimsy argument but it's all they got.
@@benjamincuevas9627 Not just the ink, they will compare the handwriting to see if it matches... iirc they even check the pressure applied to the paper when writing because that too tends to be a constant in an individual.... but as of age of the ink i have no idea how the test of age is done nor how reliable it is.
Literally, you could play the ace attorney music over any court hearing, real or fake, and I would pay attention to what everyone is saying. Otherwise, I get bored.
This was one of my favorite Blue Haired Lawyer scenes of the show. Loved how sarcastic he was and the way he said "Dinner Dog." Great editing by the way
@@daviddechamplain5718Technically, they are hearsay exceptions. So hearsay are not allowed, except if... And some of these exceptions have exceptions. So "except if, but not if..." As for conjecture, they can be difficult to draw a line because while conjectures are not allowed, inferences are allowed. So what's funny is how good of a representation of a bad lawyer is Lionel Hutz just to say that instead of trying to frame it as something more acceptable. The Simpsons did a great job at portraying a very bad lawyer.
I like how they do a little callback to "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" where Marge's ideas for making the show more kid-friendly ended up tanking the show.
Phil Hartman and Alex Rocco in the same episode was a blessing on its own, but now i can show this to some Capcom fans i know for a good laugh. nice work!
@@graycrest806 Its not even the having of the money and being well off. It's having it in literal cash at that moment in time. That's the kind of well off of criminals. Most well off people carry barely any cash on them.
Man. I've had my whole life to say: The animation and writing was so much better and mature back then. Just look at that check at 4:31! And now that I'm older and watch lawtube, i appreciate this scene/episode EVEN MORE!
The early part of the second case in Justice For All *does* indicate that the Ace Attorney lawyers occasionally take civil cases, we just never get to do them. Must be during the not insignificant gaps in time between games.
The only thing it could be improved would have been using the "Logic and Trick" during the first exposition by the procurat... blue haired lawyer. For the rest... perfection!!!
most people do know that lee was more the publisher/editor/face behind marvel. hell, even DC was guilty of the same practices and even killed companies with those practices. but that was kinda how the industry was back then. some people were aware of this like ditko while others like moore weren't.
As do I buddy as do I I hate the fact that Stan Lee is praised while Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby are confined to obscurity Not to mention that if it wasn't for Jack Kirby trying to fight against Marvel for failure to comply with copyright law in the 1970s and 1980s we would not have the current copyright law which guarantees the protections of the individual creators that we have now
@@xsoultillerx no I disagree because when Jack Kirby took Marvel and by extension Stan Lee to court he ripped apart the Marvel ownership and got at least about 1300 pages of his artwork back granted it was not the best outcome as over the decades there were about 30,000 pages that Jack Kirby drew for Marvel But it was enough to prove that Marvel was on the wrong side of copyright law and they have never forgotten it
@@rejvaik00 The biggest tragedy was that Kirby fought for comic artist rights and better treatment, but could never take advantage of them. The industry got better but Kirby never got to experience it.
I've only just realised the Itchy and Scratchy studios have smoke stacks like a factory, implying the production of Itchy and Scratchy is some sort of industrial process.
If the lionel hurz lawyer was serious, he would have subpoenad the defense during discovery to search their archives for the film. You are allowed to subpoena your opponents in order to search for information they could have in order to prove your case.
Realistically, a film company would not pay 800 billion dollars to fraudulent fees. No 80 to 100 million would be more reasonable if they made multiple millions of dollars off of someone else's idea.
You actually get the alternative, positive ending if you throw the trial. When it's time to present the drawing as evidence, select to take a swig of your whiskey instead. Genius game design on the developer's behalf 👏
I had to look up blintzes and my mouth watered. They're like crepes but usually folded around a sweet cheese and pan-fried with maybe some jam on top. Scrumptious looking.
