Justice for All

The 6th episode of Season Three and the 23rd episode overall of Ultimate Turnabout. It's also a trial episode. It can be watched here.

## Plot

The episode opens with Franziska in the defense lobby, who mentions that it's her second time defending in court after 14 years because of how the LF-4 case ended. Jerry the Lamp appears and explains that he'll be the defense counsel as she's still considered a rookie defense attorney. Junko then comes in and start screaming and shouting, stating "EVERYTHING IS OVER". Franziska then tells her to try staying calm, and reminds her that she'll do what she can.

[Courtroom] Edgeworth slams his gavel down and announces that court is in session. The prosecution and defense are ready, so Edgeworth permits the prosecution (Byakuya) to give the opening statement.

*"The defendant, Junko Enoshima, has attempted to murder Jenny McGill in this very courtroom. I have two witnesses that saw it happen, as well as evidence."*

The prosecution calls Mukuro Ikusaba to the stand, and then she gives her testimony.

*"So it was my first time in Court 4. I remember Junko saying she was allowed to be a judge by some so-called higher-ups."*

Franziska interrupts to ask who these higher-ups are. Mukuro says that Junko wasn't wasn't allowed to talk much about them or why they allowed her to be a judge in the first place. Mukuro then says Junko pressed an "execution button" without hesitation, after they were all introduced, and attempted to murder Jenny.

[OBJECTION!]

Franziska finds it hard to believe, and Byakuya asks why. Franziska presents a transcript of the event that took place as it took place in the courtroom. It's revealed Junko didn't hesitate, and then Franziska comes up with a theory. A theory that a fake execution button was left on the judge's desk, and a remote was used to make it seem like Junko attempted to murder. She even demonstrates this theory by using the same execution button that supposedly killed Jenny. It doesn't work, and then Franziska accuses Mukuro of being the person that used it.

To prove Mukuro used it, Franziska presents an O RLY? owl which doesn't work. She presents her attorney's badge, but it doesn't work. Then she presents the transcript again (and the cornered music starts playing, meaning it was correct). More specifically, the start of the transcript. She uses it to prove that Mukuro was the one that both stole the remote from Court 4, and that Mukuro was the one that used it to frame Junko.

*"When Junko was getting angry, Mukuro got ready to press the remote as Junko pressed the fake execution button."*

Mukuro then loses it. Breaking down like a culprit from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, then Edgeworth gets ready to give his verdict. On the charge of attempted murder, Edgeworth found the defendant, Junko Enoshima...

**Not Guilty**

No further objections were made, so court was adjourned. Franziska then whips Jerry once, then once more for *"good luck"*.

[Defense Lobby] Franziska reveals she got Junko's sentence for resisting arrest reduced to a single month. Junko then shows up and thanks Franziska for defending her, saying she still feels as if she really did kill Jenny.

*"The... Intent was there and-"*

Franziska whips her and tells her to forget about any intent, reminding her that she's free from the charge of attempted murder (but still has to serve her now one month sentence for resisting arrest). Junko thanks her and is escorted out of Court 4, then Franziska thinks about how her second case as a defense attorney went much better than the first (LF-4 case).
