Ask Ace Attorney!

It's now Father's Day! Time to start Father's Day letters.

Everyone has until June 22nd at midnight Pacific Time. Good luck, Everyone!

J'Luc K. Star,

Obviously, after we use the evidence in our courts, they're all documented and kept in the Legal Records. This includes the Autopsy Reports.

Of course, depending on the cases and how big they are, the evidence will either be kept, destroyed or returned to their original owner upon request. High Profile Cases will be preserved eternally, whilst Civil Cases might be destroyed after a set number of years.

We do try to keep the evidence preserved for as long as humanly possible. It's not perfect, but it is a thousand times more improved versus when I was growing up as a young lad. The same can't be said for countries such as Japan.

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

Unless it's being auctioned off to the highest black market bidder, the evidence is usually stored in the Records Room or Evidence Room. One of the two.

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

Usually, we place them in the Records Room or Evidence Room, depending on how big the case is.

Of course, if the original owner needs it for any reason, they do have to sign the paperwork and we have to return it to them after collecting whatever data we need.

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

Usually, they're stored in the Records Room or Evidence Room. It really depends on how big the case is or if it's solved.

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

They're usually stored in the Records Room along with the rest of the evidence.

Dear Anonymous,

Temper. Temper.

Dear Mr. Rogers,

I suppose.

Hulk rude.

Dear Anonymous,

Are you trying to torture me?

(Even Edgeworth is getting sick of this.)

Dear Anonymous,

Ugh, can't this meme just die already!?

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

I suppose I could create an equivalent of sorts.

But, I get the feeling your technology will be far more advanced than mine is.

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

Not as complex, but we do have an equivalent, I suppose.

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

Not to the capacity that you have in your world, but I suppose we do have the equivalent.

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

The mods have clarified what you mean.

We do have the equivalent of manipulating photographic images, however we do not have any sort of technology that provides the ability to ask it to create a realistic photographic image of something that isn't there. I believe you call it... AI?

Dear J'Luc K. Star,

Fake a photo? Mods, could you clarify? I'm sorry, my English doesn't... oh, alright, thank you.

I think the word you're looking for is photo retouching or "touch-up" so to speak. It's the act of using penciling or etching in order to make the photographic image look sharper or the individual seem smaller along the waistline for their models.

Yes, they do exist. Though, for our investigations, we always get the original photographic image before it's allowed to be retouched in any way. Our forensics in London have tools to be able to tell if the images have been retouched or not.

Dear Askrikkaiandhyotei,

That arrogant jerk!

Oh wow, I didn't even have to say it this time.
