# 1. Introduction #

This FAQ is meant to be a no-frills, no-gimmicks, as-spoiler-free-as-possible

walkthrough, which should only appear at: www.gamefaqs.com I suggest that you
look to other FAQs for gameplay info beyond the walkthrough. Be warned,
however, that the location, day and episode names may be slight spoilers, but
little to no info about the game is revealed. In general, talk to all relevant
people on the field, gather evidence neccessary for the trial, and press the
witness' statements until you get to the one statement that can be contradicted
with the right evidence in cross-examination, and call the right witness to the
stand. That should help you get through most of the game. Enjoy!
