What if the Prosecution faces Penalties too?

[@gradualdecay]

Von Karma's only stain on his perfect record was a penalty. It must have been especially humiliating if he's the only prosecutor who's ever received one.

[@potsdam28]

Judge didn’t give it though his boss did

[@Mathee]

@@potsdam28 No it was the judge, but afterwards the chief prosecutor was like "You gotta stop forging evidence, man. You were too close to getting caught this time". Ace Attorney Investigations 2 actually gives us context for what happened during the trial, as during one of the cases, you play part of it as Gregory in the past, with Edgeworth solving the case in the present. Turns out the reason why that trial went on for a year and Von Karma got that penalty, was because the victim's body disappeared from the crime scene, and Von Karma had covered it up

[@toshinoriyagi1887]

​@@Mathee no Von Karma didnt get the penalty because of that even he wasnt told anything about the disapperance of the body and that the autopsy report was forged The Chief prosecutor has told the lead detective to not tell him about it And he got his Penalty because Edgeworth showed the court a recording of Karma and the detective forcing a confession out of the Defendant

[@joaolima7131]

​​​​​​@Zalkovayou know forced confession is forged evidence too right? The forced confession alone was on Von Karma. Also, everything was covered up, if the Chief was a suspect, he would've been caught a lot earlier, Edgeworth only started to suspect him after Kay was kidnapped, you are basically expecting everything to be laid out in the first game, also it was the first game of the franchise, they weren't even expecting to be successful nor have sequels

[@thebrightdiamondtp7871]

It’d be actually interesting to see prosecutors with a penalty gauge of their own ingame, with the bar/badges decreasing as you progress through the case and beat them.

[@royalfool0230]

Isn't this what happens in the Investigations games?

I mean unlike the defense the judge cannot give penalties to prosecutor ,only the chief prosecutor can do that, that's why prosecutors have more power in the court.

“Phoenix is the main character! He can just reload saves when he messes up!” i actually backed myself into a corner where i thought i had to present evidence to further the case, but instead i had to NOT present evidence, so i reloaded after presenting the wrong evidence like 30 times… finally i clicked through the penalty and realized i was wrong

[@jeffbenton6183]

This was the Lana Skye case, wasn't it? (If I'm wrong and it's not in the Phoneix Wright trilogy, or if it's case 5 of Trials and Tribualtions, no spoilers, please)

[@CitrusRex]

@@jeffbenton6183 yes, it was! spoilers for that case ahead: It was where you had the option to present evidence to try and incriminate Damon Gant, but the actual correct answer was to just wait to present evidence.

[@55alegria]

The real reason why the judge decided to change the rules was probably because he got tired of the prosecution's abuse (more precisely, of Franziska's whip)

[@memenumnoscopus]

Penalty for whipping? Franziska won't last 5 minutes in the courtroom.

[@TheLastRaven6]

Blackquill: *Breaks his cuffs.* Judge: DOUBLE PENALTY! BlackQuill: *Cuts bit of wrights or Apollos hair* Judge: PENALTY! Taka: *Attacks someone.* Judge: FFS! Double Penalty!

[@user-el9ve6kl2n]

The Judge mentions giving penalties occasionally to the prosecution, we just dont have a visual indication of it. I definitely remember him saying that to Franziska during a case

[@joshuawillis602]

You’re correct. He threatened to penalize her when she tried hiding important photographic evidence.

Considering how completely free of oversight prosecutors conduct themselves with (at least in the US), it probably would be good idea implement penalties

[@vatsalyasobjections]

Agreed

[@potsdam28]

I hear Japan is worse

[@magnusprime962]

They do exist IRL, but how often they’re enforced varies. A lot of the stuff the prosecution gets away with in this series would never fly in US courts though. An updated autopsy report that wasn’t shared with the defense would be enough to get a case thrown out.

[@catabolicusagi]

I like the small texts that appear sometimes. They're like talking to the voices in my head

[@vatsalyasobjections]

Finally I found someone who appreciates them 😭

[@PuppyOrion]

Considering how many times the prosecution has knowingly concealed evidence from the defense, this seems absolutely necessary

[@rockincradilyyyy8489]

This could honestly make for an interesting case, here’s my idea At some point in the investigation the killer out right admits the entire case to phoenix because they know that there won’t be sufficient enough evidence, so instead to win the case phoenix has to somehow get the prosecutor to rack up enough penalties to automatically lose the case

[@notherapy4u]

Wouldn't that make the judge find the killer innocent if the prosecution loses?

[@vatsalyasobjections]

The defendant will be declared innocent, not the killer. He didn't mention that the defendant was actually the killer

[@doctorwhat779]

Can you imagine how our boi Wright's life would be easier? He could end cases just penalties instead of an actual defense

I find it conflicting how Mitsurugi couldn't handle having penalties when he literally has them in his spinoff game 😂

[@R2121]

Isn't Edgeworth acting as a Defense Attorney in the Investigations games?

[@vatsalyasobjections]

Only as an assistant in GK2(I think?), that too after losing his badge. According to the timeline PW trilogy comes before AAI so it would be his first time gettig a penalty.

[@FierySprites]

Oh god, that's my old crusty custom penalty gauge in the thumbnail. I can't believe someone actually decided to use it.

[@DarknessXxMaster]

So then...throwing coffee, hitting people with a whip, false evidence and interrupting the defense during a cross examination would all be penalized. That would make the game far too easy😂

[@Gogo-zv4hy]

This is what would happen in a spin-off where we kept the accusation during the trials

I love how the Updated Autopsy Report can always just be defeated with one word “Why?” Why did you ask to have it updated? What purpose did that serve? Is this just an attempt to get evidence that only serves you, or is this a complete and total fabrication?

[@Scythr2s]

You know it would be great battle between defense and prosecutor in showing evidence. Whenever the defense shows the correct evidence then later as the prosecutor messed it up earns a penalty as a health bar.

[@badrinath5306]

Penalties were handed to prosecutors in game. The most important being Manfreds only penalty in his career. Miles got a penalty in case 5 of the first game for being negligent (not finding the weapon in his cars out valve and not listening to Meekins report). In the same case his next penalty was for apparentally using forged evidence in the case with Lana Skye however both never solidified as he was excused for the first one and the was found innocent of the second one. Frnasiska was abt to get penalized for whipping but didn't cause the judge didn't dare. After that the second Payne (Winston forever) was accused of forgery as indicated in the ending of dual destinies and Edgeworth penalized him and then removed him from service leading to his re-location, conversion and promotion in Khura'in. I doubt Sebastian got out scott free exactly after his fathers shenanigans. Though t was violent and law breaching Godot was never even considered for penalizing over the cups of coffee on Wright. Gavin was also not penalized nor was close to until he decided to admit regarding the shady data given by his brother however it doesn't seem to have really affected him at all as he was fine by the time of dual destinies. I am not that good at the new games but I think black was almost penalized for his bird sitting on the judges head but was able to manipulate his way out of it. Samdhadi was sort of penalized I guess but it wasn't exactly a penalty either. He was only blackmailed theough out.

Interesting fact: every aspect of this game design is meant to be a critique against the judicial system in Japan. The reason the prosecutors don't also face penalties is because the game is meant to feel like it's biased against you because Japan's judicial system heavily biases against the defense.
