Case 5-3 - Turnabout Academy

Prof. Means claims to have finished the Phoenix Wright sculpture in 1.5 hrs, which, despite the casual treatment in-game, is absolutely hauling. You can clearly see the armature that Robin created, which is larger than life-size. You can see the big bag of clay - which needs at least a day or so to cure, and you can smooth/shape the slightly dry clay then. This is typically before firing, but obviously we don't have time for that since the concert was the next day.

Creating sculptures like the ones we saw on the stage, that are not only done but painted, would take quite some time and would not only be an additive process [e.g., adding clay only where you need it and not taking any off]. This took me out of the case almost completely. It was too much suspension of disbelief. It clearly wasn't air-dry compound either, because why would they leave the bag open if not for the player's benefit of knowing story details? Hrgh.

If the 2 statues were covered by sheets, Juniper straight up didn't see them, but this is dismissed. Anything, provided it's the right size and general shape, can be covered and assumed to be the objects they were before they were concealed.

The chalk tapping of Means' sprite really makes me feel like I'm ignoring someone when I go to check the Court Record. Clever AA shenanigans ensue - you gotta concede Prof. Means' claims to move forward - I needed some help here. We determine that the crime scene is wrong.

We sort out that instead of the art room, the murder must have taken place on the stage, where Prof. Means was so insistent that he remained in an effort to preserve his innocence. We sort out that the two banners were layered as they were in the stage set up photo, and the Gavinners' banner soaked up the majority of the blood, while the School Crest banner only took on a little bit. This was why the Gavinners' banner had to be burned in the incinerator - the evidence was right there.

See you tomorrow!
