Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (NCU Potential Project)

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations is a Japanese potential project.
==Summary==
#Turnabout Memories: Five years before the events of the rest of the chapter (with the exception of Turnabout Beginnings), a young college art student named Phoenix Wright is accused of murdering a pharmacy student called Doug Swallow at Ivy University. Still struggling with an undisclosed traumatic incident that occurred during her first trial a year before, rookie defense attorney Mia Fey takes on Wright's case, with Marvin Grossberg as her co-counsel, in what is only her second ever court trial. However, Fey soon meets a witness that she seems to already know during the trial...
#The Stolen Turnabout: When the Fey clan's Sacred Urn is suddenly stolen by the famous master thief Mask☆DeMasque during a Kurain Village exhibition at the Lordly Tailor department store, Wright soon finds himself defending the prime suspect: a quiet and nervous young man called Ron DeLite. Prosecuting the case is a strange, masked prosecutor called Godot, who for some reason appears to have a personal grudge against Wright. However, the case soon escalates when KB Security CEO Kane Bullard is found dead and DeLite was the last one to see him alive.
#Recipe for Turnabout: A furious Detective Dick Gumshoe confronts Wright after his shoddy defense work leads Maggey Byrde to be found guilty of murder. However, Wright has never worked or heard of the case, leading them to the conclusion that someone has been impersonating him. After managing to secure a retrial for Byrde's case, Wright pursues the truth behind the incident to bring his imposter to justice.
#Turnabout Beginnings: In a flashback to Mia Fey's first ever case, which was mentioned briefly in Turnabout Memories, Fey takes on the case of escaped convict Terry Fawles, who is accused of murdering police officer Valerie Hawthorne. Facing her at the prosecutor's bench is Miles Edgeworth, for which this is also his first court trial.
#Bridge to the Turnabout: Wright, Maya Fey, and Pearl Fey take a trip to Hazakura Temple, a location with strong ties to the Fey clan. However, events soon spiral out of control, with Maya going missing, Wright falling from a bridge into a raging river far below while trying to reach her, and the children's author Elise Deauxnim found dead on the temple grounds. After assistance from an unexpected ally, Wright pursues the truth of a case that is tied into the very heart of the Fey clan.

==Plot Elements==
*Turnabout Memories: Months after Mia Fey's first trial, Phoenix Wright is charged with the murder of his classmate Doug Swallow. Mia, acting as his lawyer, exposes Phoenix's girlfriend Dahlia Hawthorne as Swallow's killer and Diego Armando's assailant, who was planning to kill Phoenix as well. For her efforts, Dahlia is arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death. Phoenix, who was already planning on changing majors to study law, asks Mia to be his mentor.
*The Stolen Turnabout: Five years later, Phoenix represents thief Ron DeLite in court, facing off against the mysterious prosecutor Godot. Although Phoenix indicts corrupt private investigator Luke Atmey as the criminal and is able to get Ron acquitted, Ron is subsequently arrested for the murder of his former boss, based on evidence Phoenix presented in his defense. At the last second, Phoenix manages to identify Atmey as the true culprit, having realized Atmey framed Ron so he could use double jeopardy to escape punishment.
*Recipe for Turnabout: Months later, Phoenix is informed he supposedly failed to properly defend former client Maggey Byrde against accusations of poisoning programmer Glen Elg. Realizing someone impersonated him, Phoenix secures a retrial and conducts his own investigation, discovering that Elg was developing a computer virus on behalf of loan shark Furio Tigre, who bears a resemblance to Phoenix. He deduces that Tigre killed Elg to steal the virus, needing money to repay a large debt to a mob boss, before framing Maggey and posing as Wright to ensure her conviction. Despite no conclusive evidence, Phoenix manages to get Tigre arrested by tricking him into identifying the bottle of poison used in the murder, exposing himself as the killer.
*Turnabout Beginnings: In her first trial, rookie attorney Mia Fey and her partner Diego Armando defend death row inmate Terry Fawles, who is under suspicion of murdering policewoman Valerie Hawthorne during an escape attempt. Facing off against Miles Edgeworth, also on his first case as a prosecutor, Mia's persistence pays off when she learns the truth: years earlier, Terry, Valerie, and her younger sister Dahlia staged a kidnapping to steal a priceless jewel from the girls' father. Dahlia then betrayed Terry by faking her death, leaving Terry to be convicted of murder based on Valerie's testimony. Terry had escaped in the hopes of learning the truth from Valerie, but unbeknownst to him, Dahlia had already killed her and planted the body in his car. Before a judgement can be passed, Terry commits suicide by consuming poison received from Dahlia years earlier, forcing a mistrial and freeing Dahlia. She subsequently poisons Armando after learning he was investigating her further, leaving him comatose, and begins posing as university student Phoenix Wright's girlfriend to hide the evidence.
*Bridge to the Turnabout: During a visit to a mountain retreat with Maya and Pearl Fey, Phoenix discovers the corpse of fellow guest Elise Deauxnim. While looking for Maya, he falls into a river and becomes ill, looking over Mia's first case during his recovery. With Phoenix incapacitated and Godot missing, prosecutors Edgeworth and Franziska von Karma are forced to temporarily fill in as defense and prosecutor, respectively, for the trial of Phoenix's client, a nun named Iris, who bears a striking resemblance to Dahlia. When Phoenix returns, he determines that Elise was really Maya's long-lost mother, Misty Fey, and her death was the result of a plan engineered by her sister Morgan to kill Maya with help from the deceased Dahlia, revealed to be Morgan's daughter and Iris's twin. Through cross-examination, Phoenix reveals that not only is Dahlia impersonating Iris but is being channeled through Maya's body to do so. With Mia's help, Dahlia is exorcised from Maya, and the trial continues. Phoenix finally deduces that Godot, revealed to be Diego Armando, killed Misty, who was possessed by Dahlia at the time, to protect Maya. Phoenix implicates Godot for Misty's murder, proving Iris' innocence and earning Godot's respect. Having spent his time since awakening blaming Phoenix for Mia's death, he concedes that Phoenix is worthy as her successor. Iris is arrested again as Armando's accomplice in Misty's murder but reveals to Phoenix that it was her he had dated in college, as she posed as Dahlia to protect him from her sister before eventually and genuinely falling in love with him. Reuniting with his friends, Phoenix celebrates finally being free of his past.
