If the player selects "Guilty", the verdict is postponed due to a hung jury. The same night, Misham takes a turn for the worse and dies of atroquinine poisoning, leaving the case unresolved. Curiously enough, Misham survives in the good ending, even though the only difference is the verdict, and she had no way of hearing it before recovering.
Things that sound ludicrous to us, like prosecutors going undefeated for 40 years or almost every trial ending in a guilty verdict, are not that far off the mark. Between a prosecutor’s extreme discretionary power and some judges’ literal fear of handing down a “Not Guilty” verdict, Japan had a 99.9% conviction rate in 2019. In other words, labeling prosecutors as “the bad guys” in …
Jan 26, 2018 · The AA series never seems to mind much whenever an attorney withholds information or coerces a witness to do so. What does get penalized, however, is forging evidence. It's likely that Von Karma forged evidence by putting the defendant's fingerprints on some vital piece of evidence, and that's what he got penalized for. But since he still managed to prove the …
The judge has appeared in all main series Ace Attorney games to date. In fact, the judge has appeared in the second most cases in the series as a whole with 24, after Phoenix Wright with 26.

Engarde is notable for being one of only two clients of Wright's who was guilty of a crime for which he was arrested. His case gave Wright the only guilty verdict in his entire law career, while Wright earned the other client an acquittal.
Phoenix Wright starts with five and loses one for every penalty received. The usual way to receive a penalty is by presenting irrelevant evidence on a witness's statement during a cross-examination. In addition to this, Wright is often called to answer questions or present evidence to prove one of his claims.

When we hear the title Ace Attorney, most of us think of Phoenix Wright: the spiky-haired rookie lawyer with a loud voice and a gift for lateral thinking. But if you’re one of the fans who picked up Ace Attorney Investigations sometime over the last decade, you’ve seen the flip side of the series — with plenty of loud voices and lateral thinking.
The Ace Attorney series was originally conceived as a satire of the Japanese legal system. Things that sound ludicrous to us, like prosecutors going undefeated for 40 years or almost every trial ending in a guilty verdict, are not that far off the mark. Between a prosecutor’s extreme discretionary power and some judges’ literal fear of handing down a “Not Guilty” verdict, Japan had a 99.9% conviction rate in 2019. In other words, labeling prosecutors as “the bad guys” in the series isn’t a particularly contentious move — and a “good” prosecutor is either a pleasant surprise or a plot point waiting to happen.
While Ace Attorney has a devoted worldwide fanbase, sales over the last decade haven’t been high enough to make it a priority series. Even games in the main line have been prone to digital-only releases for this very reason. Eight years ago, Nintendo representatives said good sales of the main games “might” ease the second Investigations game toward release — but at present, the only hope for playing it in English lies in a fan-made patch.
Your effort wasn't wasted. Look, a brand-new penalty. In the Ace Attorney series, a penalty is generally used to punish incorrect deductions. Depending on the game, this can be represented in the form of damage inflicted on ...
In trials, a penalty signifies a sanction issued to a lawyer for one of a variety of reasons, usually due to breaking a rule or presenting irrelevant evidence. Running out of Confidence Icons or depleting the gauge during a trial results in a Game Over; the judge renders a guilty verdict, saying that he has lost his patience with the defense and has decided that there is no further case to be made against the prosecution. In some ways, this explanation is largely a relic of the first game, and does not take into account variations in penalties in subsequent games. The prosecutors, while unplayable, can receive penalties of a sort for plot-related reasons, though these instances are extremely rare and meted out for particularly serious offenses.
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Gyakuten Kenji 2 use the "Truth Gauge", which is used similarly to the Confidence Gauge of the previous games. Incorrect deductions in logic or arguments produce penalties on this gauge, signifying that Miles Edgeworth (or Gregory Edgeworth in The Inherited Turnabout) is getting further away from the truth of a case. Depleting the Truth Gauge results in a Game Over sequence similarly to losing in the main series's trials, with the witness he is talking to losing patience and walking away. The game ends with Edgeworth's organizer being closed, followed by the statement: "Thus the truth was lost for all eternity." In both games, the Truth Gauge is replenished by 50% upon completing an investigation.
In Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, the Confidence Gauge is replenished at the end of each act, including acts that end in the middle of a trial. In the 2019 versions of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, all three games use the Confidence Gauge. This time, instead of a green bar, it's a blue bar with 10 pieces in it.
In both games, the Truth Gauge is replenished by 50% upon completing an investigation. The first game's Truth Gauge is much less flexible than the Confidence Gauge, with all penalties cutting 10% except for one argument in Turnabout Ablaze, in which pressing or presenting incorrect evidence cuts 20% from the gauge.
In Gyakuten Kenji 2, penalties have slightly more variability, being dealt in multiples of 5% with a maximum of 50%. Wrongful rebuttals again usually result in 10% penalties, though like the game before it, there are two exceptions in The Grand Turnabout, which increases the stakes to 30% and 50%, respectively.
The usual way to receive a penalty is by presenting irrelevant evidence on a witness's statement during a cross-examination. In addition to this, Wright is often called to answer questions or present evidence to prove one of his claims.
April 23, 2016. Due to Redd White's influence and connections, Phoenix Wright is indicted for the murder of his boss. Wright's only chance to avoid a guilty verdict is to expose White as Mia's true killer in court, a task made all the more difficult by Miles Edgeworth's ruthless prosecuting tactics.

The second season premiered on October 6, 2018, with a story based on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations.
March 23, 2019. The identity of the girl at the witness stand was revealed to be Iris's twin sister, Dahlia Hawthorne, now amongst the living thanks to a spirit medium.

The judge has appeared in all main series Ace Attorney games to date. In fact, the judge has appeared in the second most cases in the series as a whole with 24, after Phoenix Wright with 26. On a side note, Phoenix Wright is the only other character to have appeared in every main series Ace Attorney game.
The judge presided over his trial, with rookie defense attorney Apollo Justice representing Wright and veteran prosecutor Winston Payne prosecuting him. Although the case appeared to be a simple one at first, Wright soon turned the tables by accusing Justice's mentor and co-counsel, Kristoph Gavin, of the murder.
Edgeworth also discovered that the sound the judge had heard was just Kay attempting to startle Gumshoe by popping a balloon. Gumshoe was eventually cleared of all charges thanks to Edgeworth's efforts, although the true culprit, who had used another fake gunshot to create an alibi, managed to escape.
Nevertheless, the judge occasionally shows signs of deep wisdom , with his statements on the nature of the law at the end of Vera Misham's trial as a perfect example.
As a child, the judge presumably received the same message on his school report card every year: "Has poor hearing, and often makes mistakes as a result", as evident by his reaction to Mia Fey guessing the message.
Wright would later be disbarred for presenting forged evidence.
The judge appears in the fighting game Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as one of Phoenix Wright's Level 1 Hyper Combos during "Courtroom Mode", Nightmare Judge, in which a shadowy giant version of himself (similar to his appearance in Wright's nightmare in The Lost Turnabout) appears while saying, "Order in the court!" He then smashes his gavel down on Wright and his opponent while saying, "Objection overruled!" While both battling characters are knocked down by this, only Wright's opponent takes damage, although Wright is knocked out of "Courtroom Mode" back to "Investigative Mode".
