Phoenix walked with Fluttershy into the detention center, apparently she had some special access from some kind of “Element of Kindness” ranking,  and this ranking allowed visiting during all hours. Phoenix was about to talk to the accused, this was going to be a long discussion, as Phoenix would need all the evidence he could get.

As he was escorted into the visiting room. He saw the purple unicorn, and got ready to interrogate her, but this time he knew he would have to do it gently, she looked rather... distraught, saddened, and pressured.

“Hello, Ms.Sparkle, I’m your defense attorney for this case, Phoenix Wright.” Phoenix said, feeling ridiculous.

Smooth Phoenix, real smooth."

Twilight looked up at him, she knew from this information that she would need to trust him.  She smiled at the news that she now had a defense attorney.

“Well that is great to hear, everypony thinks I’m guilty, but it is nice to see my friends brought someone to my side.”, She said.

“Okay, I’m kinda new to this well … dimension, so I need all the information I can get. “

“As long as we both tell the truth in court, I’m sure we’ll both be fine.”  Twilight smiled, now feeling better.

“Okay, what is your alibi?” Phoenix said.

“Easy, the murder took place at Sweet Apple Acres, I wasn’t even there on the day the body was found.”

“Hmmm, Sweet Apple Acres, huh. I guess I’m going there,”

Phoenix wrote Twilights alibi down in the court record, and then walked off.


Apparently Twilight’s friend, Pinkie Pie, decided she wanted to help Phoenix out.

He then continued walking down the path towards the Sweet Apple Acres.

“So, Phoenix,what are we looking for- oooh an apple, that may be a clue, and there is a ladder.”

Phoenix only rolled his eyes at Pinkies way of thinking.

“That’s a stepladder.”

Pinkie shrugged.

“What is the difference?”

Phoenix thought for a second, something about this discussion felt, familar.

“Okay, here is where the body was found, don’t touch anything.”

Pinkie nodded and literally managed to tie all 4 arms behind her back, much to Phoenix’s surprise.

Pinkie then casually looked around the area.

“Hey, look, tape in the shape of a pony! I wanna be tape traced!”, she yelled making Phoenix facepalm.

“That’s where the victim’s body was found. It won’t do you much good to be traced like that unless you are dead.” Phoenix looked around for a Detective.

“Sir, if you could please come down to the police center and tell us what you saw. We could get this whole trial done.” He heard a voice say, he walked towards the direction to see a big red stallion, and a pony with a trench coat and fedora.

“Nnnope, if you want me to talk, come to court tomorrow. That’s what Mr. Von Karma said.”

“Hey! You, you aren’t fooling anyone,  I can clearly see that badge.”  The pony in the fedora said, looking directly at Phoenix now.

Phoenix only nodded.

“I’m here for the autopsy report. The latest version if you please.”

“Fine, but I can’t give you the latest, only the one previous to it. Mr.Von Karma specifically told me this.”

Then all of the sudden Pinkie ran up to the detective.

“LATEST!”

The detective looked back down at Pinkie.

“LAST!”

“LATEST!”

“LAST!”

“LAST!”

“LATEST! AND THAT IS FINAL!” The detective yelled handing Phoenix the autospy report.

“Eh ain’t I a stinker.” Phoenix said aloud, mainly to reference how familiar the situation, before he read the autospy report.

Victim: Ambassador Trixie Lulamoon.

“Time of death: 4:00pm, April 20th.”

“Death from: Sharp object puncturing the chest”

Then Phoenix noticed a whole new pamphlet he never had seen in an autopsy report.

“Prime Suspect: Before Trixie became an ambassador, she had a rivalry with fellow studier of the magic arts:Twilight Sparkle.  A clear moral leads this pony to be the prime suspect.”

What Phoenix noticed even more so, is that this autopsy made Twilight's alibi further more valid.

He then decided to ask the detective what the sharp object was.

“ A pitchfork through the heart. It was found lodged in the victims chest.”

Phoenix wrote this down in the court record.

” Alright Von Karma is bound to have a trick or two up his sleeve, but now I do too..”
