Both prosecution and defense face each other in open court, and have three days to make their case before the judge renders a verdict. Rookie defense attorney Phoenix Wright is thrust into the limelight after the murder of his mentor, Mia Fey. The accused murderer is Mia's younger sister, Maya Fey, who comes from a family line of spirit mediums. Wright faces off with childhood friend and rival prosecutor Miles Edgeworth on the case. After some cross examination of a witness and interpretation of evidence at the crime scene, Maya is subsequently found Not Guilty of the crime. After getting Maya acquitted of the crime, Wright helps to defend Miles after he is accused of the murder of an attorney (Robert Hammond) at a lake. Evidence and witness testimony (mostly hinging on a mysterious boat renter at the lake) suggests that Miles is the killer of Hammond. But the case takes an unexpected turn as Wright unravels a related 15-year-old mystery concerning the DL-6 case, which focuses on Miles' father Gregory Edgeworth. Gregory was found murdered in the court's basement evidence locker room; Yanni Yogi, a Court Bailiff, is initially accused of murdering Gregory Edgeworth after discovering Gregory allegedly tampering with a gun used as evidence in a case. He is coerced into pleading not guilty by reason of insanity by Hammond in killing Gregory with the gun. The DL-6 case ultimately destroys Yogi's life, where he resorts to living as a hermit renting out boats at a lake. A package arrives to egg Yogi to take revenge, namely setting up the murder of Hammond by Miles. Yogi confesses to the ruse in open court, but Miles surprisingly admits he murdered his father, not Yogi. The admission by Miles focuses new attention on the DL-6 case. Wright manages to prove in court that Miles did not kill his father and uncovers evidence that Prosecutor Manfred von Karma had committed perjury and killed Gregory Edgeworth. However, key evidence in the form of the gun that Gregory thought was tampered with and killed with is missing to prove this theory. Mia Fey's notes on the DL-6 case and a timely discovery of the bullet that killed Gregory hidden in a clock statue of The Thinker, which was used to kill Mia after she took the bullet evidence, help proves von Karma's crime and unravels the mystery. He is subsequently arrested for the crime of murdering Gregory Edgeworth. On the 4th day of the trial, Miles is found not guilty of all crimes. Wright vows to help defend Yogi of his crimes, while Maya returns home. A sideplot in the film covers the childhood between friends Wright, Miles, and Larry Butz. When Wright is accused of stealing classroom money, Miles rises to defend him, along with Butz. This event is cited by Wright to Maya as the reason why he became a lawyer. However, the incident remains "unsolved" for many years until a timely prodding by Maya near the end of the film reveals Butz stole the money to buy a plastic model. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ace Attorney (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
