Keira Asena [refer to justice-for-all.proboards.com/thread/33/keira-asena ]
Name: Rizuka
Age: 48
Occupation: Strip Club Owner
Backstory: Rizuka met Keira a few weeks after the latter had lost her parents. She pitied the girl and gave her a job at her club, figuring she needed the money more so than pride. She would train the girl, giving her things here and there and trying her best to care for her, in a motherly sort of way.
Opening Statement: Edgeworth
"It's simple your Honor. The murder weapon was the defendant own knife, which had her fingerprints and was discovered in the victim outside the place at which she is employed. Furthermore..."*Edgeworth shrug* "...there is a witness who will testify against her, having witnessed the crime first-hand."
*points to temple and shrugs* "Ergo, your Honor…”
*points at Keira* "...the defendant is the ONLY one who could have committed the crime! I call Detective Gumshoe to the stand to deliver the case summary.”
Summary:
At 3:50PM Vick Timm was found murdered at a nightclub where the defendant, Keira worked. The murder weapon was a knife owned by the defendant which was found with the victim’s blood on it. According to the Defendant, the knife was stolen the day prior, her locker showing it a combination lock in which she only knew the correct combination. One witness confirmed that Keira was there around the time of death, another the complete opposite. Evidence collected at the scene included the Defendant’s iPod, the murder weapon, and a bloody glove found in the residence of one of her co-worker’s apartments.Witness Testimony:

Witness One:
Zackary Chisel, Construction Worker and Patron of the Club [The Faulty Testimony, Edgeworth’s Witness]
Initial Testimony:
“I was coming out of the club around 4pm, when I saw one of the strippers completely skewer a guy!” [Press all Statements after initial reading; What time exactly did she do this? This is an important detail.]
“She stabbed him once, then booked it.” [Where did she go? That is a crucial detail.]
“She had bright hair, so it had to of been her!” [How can you be sure it wasn’t a wig for a costume? What other details do you have to offer?]
Revision:
“It wasn’t technically 4pm, but it was kinda close.” [Present iPod after reading all revised statements and any objections raised. Its signal proves she was en route to the Club, not at the Club at the time.]
“She booked it for an alleyway, I was in too much shock to go after her.”
“I didn’t notice anything else about her, just that she wore a lawyer get-up and heels…” [Keira was not dressed in such at the Detention Center. Nor did she have shoes of any kind. Object and reveal this fact before presenting iPod.]
Witness Two:
Natalie Withers, College Student [The Testimony to help Alibi]
Initial Testimony:
“I was at the Courthouse, having watched the latest case. I saw her there, watching the Defense Attorney.” [Press all Statements after first read-through; Which side of the gallery? Were you nearby?]
"Seemed like she has a crush on him, the way she was looking at him.” [What do you mean? What was she doing?]
“She had bright hair.. Kinda unusual really around here. I saw her leave early though, maybe around fifteen til 4?” [Do you have anything to prove it wasn’t until then?]
Revision:
“She was on the Defense side of the Gallery. I was on the Prosecution side, so I could see her clearly.
“She was watching him like a school-girl would a cute guy, head in her hands and a dreamy smile. When things got tough on the Defense, she looked like she was gonna pound the railing.”
“I actually have a sketch! I always timestamp it when I complete it, and it was at 3:45 PM. Then the next minute was when she got up and began to leave.” [Sketch would show Keira watching Phoenix as described in the second statement, dreamy-eyed. Bottom left of the sketch shows the timestamp as she testified.]
Evidence List:
- Bloodstained Knife - Found in Keira’s possession upon discovering the corpse. Bears the victim’s blood and Keira’s prints.
- iPod - Keira’s music device. Has GPS locator and provides timestamps and locations based on internet signals.
- Bloodstained Glove - Found in Maki’s apartment. Has the victim’s blood on it.
- Sketch - Natalie’s Sketch of the Courtroom before the murder at the Club. [Comes during Cross Examination]
