I think we’ve finally obtained enough evidence to close the case. Now, we just need to ask a few more questions. Then, the final trial begins!
What I love most about this case is how it demonstrates the profound impact that Turnabout Goodbye had on Edgeworth. It would be easy for him to accept the guilty plea and wash his hands of the case, but he’s not that person anymore. Because he’s not fully convinced that he’s proven the defendant is guilty, he chooses instead to prolong the trial and use it as a vehicle to expose deeper corruption.
Even better is the way that he bounces off of Phoenix, and the cast of witnesses and suspects that all wish to see him fail. It gets to him, but at the end of the day he still recognizes that he has an important job to do.
It’s strong character growth that continues into future titles.
