Case 1 - The Lost Turnabout: spoiler-free walkthrough

Phoenix Wright is having terrible dreams, but that's no excuse - he has a difficult new case to solve. You're thrown in at the deep end, at the trial of Maggey Bryde...

Case 1, The Lost Turnabout Trial

We're staying as spoiler-free as we can in these walkthrough, so we'll simply list the answers to questions posed to you in trial in the order that they appear:

• Say you're ready. 
• The Glasses.

Decisive Evidence - Gumshoe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination 

Cross-examination is a key part of the Ace Attorney Formula - you'll be using it right through Justice for All. The game will explain, but to reiterate, you'll get a series of statements. You can 'press' statements to get more information, and present evidence to reveal and prove contradictions in testimony - which can unravel a case. Here's what to do this time:

• On the 4th Statement ("I don't like saying it..."), Present Maggey Bryde's Profile from your evidence. 

Gumshoe will now have to testify again.

Dustin and Maggey - Gumshoe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination 

• Press Gumshoe on his 5th statement ("It was something..."). 
• Choose to press further when given the chance. 
• Say "Of course it's relevant." for some new evidence.

Writing on the Ground - Gumshoe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination 

• On the 6th statement ("From this, we could..."), present the Baseball Glove.

This causes quite a stir. It's now time for a brief recess in the trial. You'll get some new items to study, and then you'll find yourself back in the trial, hearing testimony from a new witness.

What I Saw That Day - Wellington's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination 

• On the 6th statement ("The only other thing I saw..."), present the Baseball Glove.
• Select "Has Bad Eyesight."

What Happened Next - Wellington's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• On the 3rd statement ("It must've been..."), present Dustin's Autopsy Report.
• Questen Further.
• "There is something..."
• When asked, Present Crime Photo 1.
• "Yes, I have an idea."
• Present the Glasses evidence.
• "There was a way."
• Present the Cell Phone Evidence.
• When prompted, present the Names List.
• "A member of that group."
• Now, present the Dustin Prince profile
• "Fingerprints on the phone?"
• Raise an Objection.
• Present Phoenix's Business Card.
• "The back of the card."

...and with that, your first case - something of a tutorial - is complete! Now it's on to the real deal, with Justice for All ramping up into...

Case 2 - Reunion, and Turnabout: spoiler-free walkthrough

An old friend of Phoenix is in deep, deep trouble. There's a horrifying car accident and a seemingly impossible murder. The pressure is on for Phoenix not just to solve a case, but to save a friend.

Case 2, Reunion, and Turnabout: Day One Investigation

It's time for the first investigation in Justice For All. Here are the steps you'll need to take to gather all of the evidence you need today, to prepare for trial - all presented in a spoiler-free fashion, of course.

• You start in Kurain Village. Talk to Maya and exhaust all options to learn about the Channeling, and how Maya's been doing.
• Move to the Meditation Room.
  • You'll get the Guidemap (Fey Manor) evidence.
  • Talk to Dr. Grey to learn a little more about the channeling, which is key.
• Go to the Channeling Chamber next. Talk to Morgan Fey. This is Maya's aunt. You'll learn even more about Maya and the channeling...
• Move to the Winding Way, then the Side Room, then back to the Winding Way. Pick any option when prompted. The correct answer is Lotta Heart, however, if you remember the first game.
• Back and forth you go - now back to the Meditation Room. When asked, pick either option - but we guess you'll want to break in.
• Now you're in the Channeling Chamber. Events unfold, and disaster strikes. You'll be shunted back and forth between the chamber and Kurain Village a few times, talking to Lotta both about recent events. 
• Eventually, you can now re-enter the Channeling Chamber properly. Gumshoe is here. Talk to him to get a full idea of events. You learn the victim was stabbed.
• Go to the Side Room to meet Ini Miney. Talk to her about the case and herself.
• In the Winding Way there's a mysterious girl again, but keep moving, now to the Meditation Room. Your investigation pauses for now...

If you need a break, now is an ideal time - you're still mid-investigation, but time skips forward to the next day...

• You pick up back in the Detention Center, with Maya. Of course talk to her.
  • Exhaust all the topics with Maya and you'll get the Maya's Magatama evidence.
• Next up is a quick trip to the Wright & Co. Law Offices. As part of this, you'll get the Newspaper Clipping 1 piece of evidence.
• Head back to the village and to the Channeling Chamber. Morgan Fey is here. Talk to her about all three options.
  • Stay in this room, and now use your examine mode to examine the folding screen on the right of the room. There's a little hole in it, which is suspicious. This adds the Folding Screen to your Court Record evidence list.
• Now go to the Winding Way. Pearl Fey is here. 
  • In order to get Pearl talking, present Maya's Magatama to her. Then talk to her as much as you can.
  • When prompted, accept the item to get the Black Key in your court record.
  • A new game mechanic is lightly introduced here - you'll have the Magatama charged so you can see into people's hearts. More on this soon...
• Go back to the Meditation Room. Gumshoe is here.
  • Talk to Gumshoe about the two topics to get some interesting background detail. He mentions a newspaper article...
  • So present Newspaper Clipping 1. This jogs Gumshoe's memory and then adds Newspaper Clipping 2 to the court record.
  • You can now talk to Gumshoe a second time, about some different topics. Do that, then move on to...
• Now get back to The Side Room. Talk to Ini Mini about every topic, and... A Psyche-Lock appears! This is what Pearl charged the Magatama for.
  • Think of these sections as a lot like a court cross-examination, but in the investigation phase. The Psyche-Lock represents a person hiding something. You have to pressure the person through evidence presentation and correct answers in order to make them tell the truth.
  • Present Maya's Magatama to Ini Miney to start the Psyche-Lock.

Psyche-Lock: The Victim  (Ini Miney)

• Simply present Newspaper Clipping 2 to prove the connection to Dr. Grey. 

• Now talk to Ini about the newly unlocked topic.
• Move back to Kurain Village, and then to the Detention Center. Talk to the person here.
  • Present the Black Key evidence when you get the chance. Something shocking happens here... but there's no time to worry about it now. It's almost time for the trial.

Case 2, Reunion, and Turnabout Day One Trial

There's a lot of ground to cover before the trial here, including the introduction of the new prosecutor you'll be facing, who has a relationship with two key characters from the past.

After a lot of exposition, the trial begins.

• Gumshoe will describe the crime. Listen to the important details. The Floor Plans get added to the Court Record.
• Gumshoe will testify.

Cause of Death - Gumshoe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination 

You'll remember this from the first case; to break a cross-examination, you just need to poke holes in the narrative it weaves. Like this:

• As part of the testimony you'll get Dr. Grey's Autopsy Record.
• Press all five of Gumshoe's Testimony Statements. This gets the Knife and the Pistol added to the Court Record. 
• There's nothing further you can really do here, so....
• When asked if you want to make a plea, of course choose to "Plead not guilty"

Incriminating Evidence - Gumshoe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination 

• At the end of the testimony you'll get the Maya's Costume evidence. Evidence is stacking up now...
• Press Gumshoe's 3rd statement ("As you can see...") for some crucial background.
• Press further when given the chance.
• "There is one little thing..."
• Point to the hole in the sleeve of the costume. Present that. 

What Transpired - Gumshoe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Poor old Gumshoe testifies again. Present Maya's Costume to the 4th statement "(The victim took...").
• Say "Something doesn't make sense."
• Now present the Folding Screen evidence we discovered a while ago.
• When prompted, point to the spot just to the left of the bullet hole and present that.
• When asked, you of course say "It changes everything."

You are, as ever, causing a stir - and so it's time for a brief recess. When you return, a friend takes to the stand once again...

Witness's Account - Lotta's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• That picture that was taken earlier is presented as part of the testimony; Lotta's Photo gets added to the court record.
• Press Lotta on all of her statements.
• When prompted, Press Harder against her 4th statement ("Inside was the...")
• When asked a question pressing the 5th statement, choose "Behind the folding screen."
• Unfortunately, you "Can't present anything yet" beyond that - so select that.

Witness's Account, Part 2 - Lotta's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press the 4th statement ("But I still managed...")
• Confront Franziska or don't - this choice doesn't matter.
• You now get Lotta's Photo 2, another piece of evidence.
• Another choice that doesn't impact things: pick whichever option you want.
• Is there something wrong with this new evidence? Check it out. Now you have to say "I can prove it."
• Point to the right-hand side of the photo - to the sleeve. Present it.
• You've uncovered a contradiction, but what does it mean? Tell the judge that "The shooter is someone else."
• Next, say "Maya had left the room" when prompted.
• Finally, present the Black Key from your court record.

Von Karma is furious, but you've managed to quite literally buy a stay of execution. Now it's time to investigate again.

Case 2, Reunion, and Turnabout: Day Two Investigation

• You're back in Kurain Village. Talk to Pearl about everything you can. On the 4th option, 2 Psyche-Locks appear - but you can't open them yet.
  • Present the Black Key to Pearl. This hints you should check out the Incinerator...
• Therefore, head to Winding Way. The Incinerator is in this room, as is Ini.
  • Talk to Ini Miney. The 3rd option will trigger some currently unbreakable Psyche-Locks.
  • Examine the Incinerator. This adds the Cloth Scrap to your Court Record.
  • Examine the urn on the table - this adds the Sacred Urn to the Court Record.
• Head to the Channeling Chamber. Morgan Fey is here. Talk to her about everything you can for curious background.
• Let's see Maya; go to the Detention Center. Talk to her about everything you can, and take in all the detail.
• Back at Kurain Village, you see Lotta, who runs away. Follow her to...
• ...the Side Room. Except Lotta isn't here. You can do other stuff, however.
  • Examine the Ball first. This adds Pearl's Ball to the Court Record.
  • Examine the Large Box for a surprise. The Clothing Box also gets added to the evidence list.
• Go to the Meditation Room. We now have what we need to unlock Pearl's Psyche-Locks - so let's do that. Present Maya's Magatama to Pearl to get started.

Psyche-Lock: Pearl's Alibi (Pearl Fey)

• When prompted, point to the Winding Way on the map and present it.
• Now present Pearl's Ball.
• Now present the Sacred Urn - so that's what happened...
• Finally, present Ami Fey's Profile. 

• With the locks broken, you can now talk to Pearl about two new topics. This will update the Sacred Urn in the court record.
• Go back to the main Kurain Village area. Talk to Lotta here about two topics.
  • After talking about those two topics, present Ini Miney's Profile to Lotta. This unlocks a new topic of discussion.
• It's time for a new location - the Hotti Clinic! Mosey on over there.
  • Talk to Hotti about the Clinic and Ini, then Present your Attorney's Badge to him. 
  • This unlocks three new topics of chat. The second adds the License Photo to your evidence, and the 3rd updates the Newspaper Clipping 2 evidence. 
• Go back to Kurain Village once again. Talk and exhaust all avenues of conversation for important information.
• Now go to the Winding Way. Ini Miney is in here - and we can finally break her Psyche-Locks. Present Maya's Magatama.

Psyche-Lock: Traffic Accident (Ini Miney)

• At the first prompt, present Ini Miney's Profile.
• Show you know what you're talking about by presenting Newspaper Clipping 2. 
• Now present the License Photo from the Court Record.
• Finally, present Mimi Miney's Profile. 

• With the Psyche Locks broken, you can now talk to Ini about two new topics, with interesting revelations abound.
• Nowm head back to Kurain Village again to see something suspicious...
• Go back to the Detention Center - we need to see Maya again.
  • Discuss all three topics, and then present Maya's Magatama - it's time for one last Psyche Lock session.

Psyche-Lock: The Murderer (Fey)

• When asked who is being protected, present Morgan Fey's Profile.
• For the next piece of evidence, present the Cloth Strap.
• For your next slice of proof, present the Black Key. 
• Now you need motive. Why? Well, present Ini Miney's Profile.

• Completing this Psyche-Lock unlocks one final topic of conversation. You know a lot now - but do you know enough? Hopefully - it's trial time...

Case 2, Reunion, and Turnabout Day Three Trial

The stakes are raised. Apparently the world is watching. So, let's get to it...

Maya's Escape - Morgan's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press Morgan on every single one of her statements.
• Whenever you're prompted to "Question Further", do so. Aside from some volunteered information there's nothing for you here - so on to the next testimony.

After the Murder - Ini's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press the 3rd statement ("It was, like...")
• Then Press the 4th statement ("I, like, hadn't seen her...").
• When prompted to, Question Further.
• Say "It's Very Important."
• Press on the newly-added statement ("I wasn't, like, scared...")
• Now present Lotta's Photo 2 or Maya's Costume to that statement. Either will do.

After the Murder, Part 2 - Ini's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press the 3rd statement ("And I, like, persuaded...), then the 4th statement ("And then, like, I took..."). 
• Ask, "Were going to the Crime Scene."
• Press Harder, then say "It's Very Important." This forces a new line to be added to the testimony.
• Present the Sacred Urn and Pearl Fey's Profile against this new statement ("I, like, didn't see anyone...")
• Say "There is no way!"
• Point out where the contradiction is: "In her testimony just now."
• When you have to use the map, point to the Channeling Chamber and present it.
• Now present the space behind the folding screen.
• You probably know where this is going now. Present the Clothing Box. 
• Can you prove it? "Yes, I can, with some evidence."
• Next Present the Folding Screen or the Clothing Box - either works.
• When questioned on the number of people, say "Correct, it's not possible."
• Now present Morgan Fey's Profile. 
• Now we need to prove motive. Present Newspaper Clipping 2.
• Finally, confidently answer "Yes, I can." You're in the home stretch!

...but the Judge calls a Recess. Once you return, it's back to cross-examination. You are closing in on a conclusion to Justice For All's case 2, mind.

Last Year's Accident - Ini's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press the 3rd statement ("And, like, the night...").
• When prompted, press harder still. She amends the statement.
• Present the License Photo evidence against the newly added statement ("I, like, didn't have my license...")

I Wouldn't Be Allowed - Ini's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press the 3rd statement ("She, like, had just gotten...").
• Press Harder when given the chance to get a revised statement.
• Now present Newspaper Clipping 2 against the revised statement ("My sis' new car wars...")
• So, who was driving the car...? It's the second option.
• In the search for motive, present Newspaper Clipping 1.
• Now there's a lot of explanation and exposition to explain exactly what happened. It's complicated, but the good news is that the trial is over!
• After the trial, present Pearl Fey's Profile when you get the chance.

The next case up is, if we're honest, not only probably the weakest in Justice For All, but arguably in the whole Ace Attorney Trilogy - but what do you expect when there are clowns involved...?

Case 3 - Turnabout Big Top: spoiler-free walkthrough

Murder is no laughing matter - even at the circus. Phoenix is tasked with defending one of the world's most famed magicians...

Case 3, Turnabout Big Top: Day One Investigation

• You start out in the Wright & Co Law Offices. It's worth noting that as well as your usual Attorney's Badge, Maya's Magatama is still in your Court Record - that remains with you for breaking Psyche-Locks.
• Go to the Detention Center to meet the defendant, Max Galactica, aka Billy Bob Johns. 
  • Talk to Galactica about everything you can. The 4th option will trigger 3 Psyche-Locks you can't break yet.
  • Present your Attorney's Badge to Max. 
• You can detour to the Wright & Co Law Offices & present Max's profile for an achievement, if you want, but your next progression destination is...
• Head to the Circus Entrance. There's nothing here right now, but you have to come here to move on to the Big Top. 
  • In the Big Top, meet Regina, who tames the animals. Talk on two topics.
  • Then present Max's Profile to Regina. You can now ask her about another topic.
  • Finally, present the Russel Berry Profile to Regina.
• Now go to the Ringmaster's Room. There's nobody here, but there's some important things to take note of...
  • Examine the Envelope on the table to learn about some money-related information. Always a motive, money. This adds Ringmaster's Papers to the court record.
  • Now examine the posters on the wall. This will add a Max G. Promo Poster to your stack of evidence.
• Now head to the Lodging House - Plaza - you have to go past/through the Circus Entrance to get there.
  • Gumshoe is here. Talk to him about everything you can; one option will add the Crime Photo to the court record.
  • Present Max's Profile to Gumshoe. There's some chatter and the Silk Hat gets added to the court record. 
• Once you've exhausted topics of conversation with Gumshoe, go back to the Circus Entrance. Benjamin Woodman is here; talk to him about all three topics.
• You need to get to Moe's Room - reach it through the Lodging House Plaza. In here, you'll find Moe the Clown. Talk to him about every topic.
  • Once you've ran out of thing sto ask, present Max's Profile. This gets you more information, but also the Circus Map for your court record.
• Move on to the Big Top Cafeteria - which is reached through the Big Top, if that didn't make it obvious.
  • Examine the broken glass bottole on the floor. This adds Broken Bottle to the court record.
• It's time to talk to our defendent again. Go back to the Detention Center and speak to Max. Talk through the options available, then present Maya's Magatama to start on those Psyche Locks.

Psyche-Lock: Meeting With Russell (Max Galactica)

• First, present the Ringmaster's Papers.
• Now present the Broken Bottle, followed up by Ben's Profile.You can also do these pair in the reverse order.

• With the Psyche-Locks broken, now talk to Max about the two new topics, which don't add new evidence but add a lot of key new information.
• With that information in hand, head back to the Big Top Ringmaster's Room, reached via the Entrance and then the Big Top.
  • Inside the Ringmaster's Room, examine the trophy case. There's a puppet in here - this adds that puppet, Trilo Quist, to the court record.
• Return to the Big Top Cafeteria. Ben is here. Talk through the initial options, then...
  • Present Trilo Quist. This leads to you being able to talk to someone else... kinda. You can talk about four more topics here, in more depth.
• Go back to the Big Top. You'll have a spot of trouble here. Talk to Regina.
• Go to Moe's Room again. When given the choice, choose to "Go with Moe." 
• This leads to Arco's Room. Money the Monkey will be added to your evidence list automatically in here.
  • Before you go, examine the pile of shiny things. You'll get your Attorney's Badge again, but also a Ring that gets added to the court record.

And with that, you're all out of time. Things don't quite make sense yet, but that's tough - you now have to go to trial.

Case 3, Turnabout Big Top Trial: Day Two

• You're back at trial again. After some exposition, Gumshoe takes to the stand for a testimony.

Details of the Events - Gumshoe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• At the end of the cross-examination, you'll get Russel Berry's Autopsy Report added to the court record. It's worth a look.
• Press all of Gumshoe's statements.
  • The 5th statement ("The victim was found bent...") will add a Wooden Box to your court record when pressed.
  • When prompted, ask "About the contents". This adds the Small Seasoning Bottle to your evidence.
• That's all from Gumshoe.

What You Witnessed - Trilo's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• After some chatter, press the 4th statement ("He was the only one..."). 
• Ask "Ben only saw Max?"
• Who? Well, present the Russell Berry Profile.
• Now press the 5th statement ("Then the police..."), and when asked for another name, present Regina Berry's Profile.

About the Proposal - Trilo's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press this testimony's 2nd statement ("I even had something..."). When prompted, keep pushing.
• This results in a revised statement. Move on, however.
• Instead, present the Ring on the 5th statement ("In the end..."). 
• Choose "Ben's testimony has a flaw." This results in another testimony.

Witnessing Max - Trilo's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press the 4th statement ("I said 'good evening'"...").
• When prompted, pick "Trilo's evening greeting."
• On the 4th statement, present the Broken Bottle. 
• When promoted, answer "He saw a different person."
• When asked who, present Russell Berry's Profile.

Franziska says she has a new witness for you, and the judge calls a recess - it's an ideal time to save and take a breather, if you want.

When you return to the court room, Moe the clown takes to the stand. Yep. The clown...

What You Witnessed - Moe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• First, there's a fake testimony of sorts. Then the real one. You don't need to do anything.
• Because Moe is such a scatter brain, you will be punished if you push him too much or too often. Instead, follow our instructions precisely this time to avoid penalties...
• Press the 3rd statement ("I thought I'd go straight to sleep..."). Keep pressing when prompted. 
• This results in a revised statement ("I heard a huge noise..."). Press this statement.
• Now press the 6th statement ("I kept watching them...") 
• When challenged, say "Of course I do!" with your chest. With confidence.

The Silhouette - Moe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Present the Max G. Promo Poster against the 3rd statement ("...they were all there!")

The Silhouette, Part 2 - Moe's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Don't press any statements. The penalty is severe!
• Instead, present the Silk Hat evidence against the 4th statement. 
• When asked to show evidence, present the Crime Photo.

• There will be one more testimony with a strange revelation - but it's of no use to you now. Instead, the Judge decides to end the trial for the day - which in turn buys you valuable investigation time!

Case 3, Turnabout Big Top: Day Two Investigation

• At the Wright & Co. Law Offices you can do a recap chat with Maya, but you really need to head to the Detention Center.
  • Talk to Max about every topic. One topic will give you the Grand Prix Photo evidence for the court record.
• Go to the Circus Entrance. Talk to the folks here about everything you can.
• Move on to the Lodging House - Plaza. A brief story encounter here is all you get.
• Now get to the Big Top Cafeteria. Begin by presenting the Grand Prix Photo to Moe.
  • Now you can chat to Moe about 4 different topics. These discussions will add the Max G. Bust and Note evidence to the Court Record.
• Return to the Detention Center, and present the Note evidence you just got to Max.

• Now go to the Ringmaster's Room at the Big Top for a little revelation...
  • Examine the tailcoat. There's something sticking out of its pocket... this updates the Note in your court record, and makes it a huge piece of evidence.
• Go back to the Lodging House - Plaza. Gumshoe is here - and then so is Von Karma! Talk to her about every topic available.
• Next, head to Acro's Room. Acro's real name is Ken. But everyone here goes by their circus names, as we know. Talk about everything - note the Psyche Locks.
• Go back to the Big Top. This is your chance to talk to Regina. Exhaust your open topics first.
  • Then present the Note to Regina. This updates this evidence in the court record yet again.
  • Now present the Small Seasoning Bottle to Regina. 
• Take yourself back to Moe's Room. Choose any option you like and get the Stage Costume, which goes into your court record.
• Head back to the Big Top. Present the Stage Costume, then talk about the option it opens up. Leon (the lion) gets added to the court record. The plot thickens...
• Now visit the Cafeteria. Talk to Moe about the topics you can - but you'll be stopped by Psyche-Locks. Luckily, we already have everything we need - present Maya's Magatama...

Psyche-Lock: Get Over It! (Moe)

• First up, present Leon (the lion).
• Now present Acro's Profile.

• Easy, right? Now talk to Moe about the two new topics to learn some very interesting new information...
• Head back to Acro's Room. We now also have what we need to crack those Psyche-Locks we saw on him earlier... so present Maya's Magatama to him.

Psyche-Lock: About the Wheelchair (Acro)

• Just like you did with Moe, start out by presenting Leon (the lion).
• Now present Bat's Profile. 
• Next up, you'll need to present Regina Berry's Profile.
• Finally, present the Note. 

• With the locks removed, you can finally talk to Acro about two more absolutely vital topics. The evidence is stacking up, but you're also out of time - you now have to head back to trial.

Case 3, Turnabout Big Top Trial: Day Three

• At this point, Phoenix feels like he has a pretty good idea who the culprit is - and you should too. But you have to reach it. First up, Von Karma calls Acro to testify.

What You Witnessed - Acro's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• Press Acro on his 4th statement ("I only saw him from behind, but..."). 
• Say "There is a contradiction", then prove it by presenting the Silk Hat evidence.
• Be bold. Say "Acro is the real culprit." 
• When prompted to answer, reply "Of course he didn't."
• You'll now have to use the Circus Map to demonstrate - present Acro's Room. 
• Next, choose to Present Evidence, then present the Max G. Bust.

Acro's Physical State - Acro's Testimony: Witness Cross-Examination

• On the 6th statement ("Thus, it would be unrealistic for me..."), present the Crime Photo.
• When asked about the box, choose "The weight of the box."
• When asked about the bust, say "I remember."
• To answer the next question, present your old kleptomaniac friend Money the Monkey. 
• Von Karma has questions. Answer next by presenting the Max G. Bust.
• Talking about the cloak and bust, present Russel Berry's Profile.

Things are quite rapidly spiraling out of control, so the judge calls a much-needed break. Save, grab a drink, and settle in for the thrilling conclusion...

• During recess, Gumshoe comes through for you, and brings you a new item: the Scarf evidence. It's added to the court record. If you examine the scarf and take it in, you should see why it is significant.
