On to 2-2: The Imprisoned Turnabout

This case opens up in the good old detention center, except we get to see it in all its third person rendered Investigations-glory. We're getting ready to prosecute good old Knightley, when we get notified that he's been murdered. Great start.

We are then led into what has got to be the weirdest prison ever. Look folks, the U.S. has a big issue with its incarceration system.I think we can turn to Edgeworth 2's animal/prisoner rehabilitation system to find some ethical answers.

This case is longer and more drawn out than it needs to be,and in hindsight the first section feels totally inconsequential. We analyze the body. We see that it's located near some rope, a striped cloth, and a pulley system. He's holding a ring of some kind. Edgeworth does very little to question these circumstances which seems... bad.

We meet Jay Elbird, which as far as puns go is pretty decent. There's some nonsense here about whether or not he did or did not actually hear a scream. Overall a pretty forgettable witness.

Then we are stopped by who I'm assuming are Shih Long Lang's replacements this go around, Justice Courtney and Sebastian Debeste, who come as a package deal apparently. Debeste has two gimmicks - 1) he's a conductor, I guess? 2) He's "the best" at being a prosecutor. Didn't we already have a child prodigy prosecutor? Named Franziska? Remember her? Why is she not here?

Courtney is much better as far as intimidating presences go, and fairly good looking to boot. More of her and less of this literal child please. I remember seeing this character on court records and other places and theorizing she was Edgeworth's mom. I'm assuming that I was wrong on this, but I've seen crazier reveals in AA.

Anyway, she kicks us off the case due to her authority with the PIC - the Prosecutor Intelligence Committee (or something). Which is fine because we weren't really getting anywhere anyway.
