COURTROOM NO. 3/ MURDER CASE/ PROSECUTION: KLAVIER GAVIN/ DEFENSE: APOLLO JUSTICE/ 9:15 AM, 1 SEPTEMBER, 2027.
Apollo: -and so, you have lied to us Mr. Gravo! You clearly did not explain about the murder weapon in the-
Mr. Gravo: Oh Why you little piece of-!
The witness was a construction worker with angry issues. He was extremely mad to the point a brick appeared in his hand from his pocket. Already aimed at apollo.
Klavier: Uh oh. Not it.
The prosecutor without a second thought duck down behind his bench while apollo stood frozen. Thinking if the guy will attack him or not but thankfully with Mr. Wright with his side, who guided him carefully.
Phoenix: Now apollo, we duck down.
Apollo was confused as wright placed his hand over apollo's shoulder as both men duck down behind the defense bench as the brick flew over their heads. Both got up as the judge yelled at the bailiff to restrain the witness.
Apollo: Few...That was close...
Phoenix: And that my dear friend is the thing you need to be careful of when in court...although...its the second thing you dont need to worry about.
Apollo: Oh? Then what's the first thing I should worry about? Cmon you have to tell me.
Apollo pleaded as Phoenix sighs with a weary smile. A face that should a lot of painful experience and even embarrassment.
Phoenix: The prosecutors.
Apollo: Im sorry...The prosecutors? I mean why them. Aren't we all lawyers trying to find the truth?
Phoenix: Correct.But there were some who gave me a hard time in court when I was just 25...Oh dont get me started on how edgeworth presents his...UPDATED AUTOPSY REPORTS.
Apollo literally had goosebumps when he remembered the time where whenever Phoenix and Edgeworth were on the same case. Edgeworth would introduce the updated autopsy report and the problem was...he's been doing this for a long time that even Phoenix now knows the look edgeworth has when he's about to present it.
Phoenix: And thats not the worse part. These prosecutors like simon, your brother, edgeworth and many more. They aren't as evil as the ones I've dealt with.
Apollo: Oh really?
Phoenix: Oh tell me Apollo. Did a prosecutor ever threw a mug of hot BOILING coffee at you? Did a prosecutor ever whipped you with an actual whip until you were unconscious? Did a prosecutor ever taze you just to get evidence? No. I have though and trust me klavier isn't the worst prosecutor yet.
Apollo stood there, jaw to the floor. Absolutely flabbergasted as if he's not sure to believe if thats true or not but yet again this is Phoenix Wright who literally defended an orca with Athena one time.
Apollo: If I do encounter such prosecutors in the future...what should I do just incase?
Phoenix then smiled which gave apollo a bit of hope and ease but what came next broke him down hard.
Phoenix: Pray and Do have someone close to you so that they could carry you out of the courtroom.
Apollo already sweating bullets slammed his head on the bench. Praying that maybe he won't meet such prosecutors in the future. But he might meet some from the past.
