The Deathly Feather Pen

The Deathly Feather Pen is the first Episode in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Order of the Court. It is about a mysterious pen owned by Karis Kennel-Floss.

Plot
A murder trial comes into the court of a mysterious pen that has been found in the study of Karis Kennel-Floss's home where the murdered body of Keith Welcher lies. The pen, although shaped like a feather, has a small, strange metal box attached to the side which is unknown what's inside.

The case is handed to Phoenix Wright, his assistant Maya Fey and the detective on the scene at the time, Detective Marcus Hasting. Whilst Phoenix works with his assistant, Gumshoe works alone, this time for himself. Karis is immediately considered a suspect for owning the pen and for the murdered to be in her house but she claims not to know Keith Welcher. He thens aks if she knows Harold and says that she saw him run down the street when she was walking home.

The plot continues until Phoenix realise that it is virtually impossible for Karis to be the murderer as at the time of the murder she was in the Supermarket. He then asks up Harold Sawer who seems to know Keith from the Library. It then turns out Harold also wanted to be an Author but was declined by Keith (The Library Manager). When Phoenix started to mention this harold started to rage in the witness stand. Harold then said around 4:00pm he was walking around Karis' Manor when he noticed the door was open so he went and saw the Dead body was there in the study. Then Phoenix points out a contradition as the time of murder was 6:00pm. Harold goes on to state that the clock on the floor must have been Knocked and turned back the time to 4:00. Another contradiction as in the photo there was no clock on the floor and clock in the room was working perfectlly. He then goes to say it was a fright of finding the body. He is then asked for anythign else. He then says the body was lying on the floor with blood and in the blood was the pen and a key. Phoenix goes on to say what lkey? And takes out the pen opens the secret compartment and there is a blood stained key which the only way he would have known there was a key if he touched and opened the pen!. He then goes on to say there was mud found at the scene of a crime. The type you would find on a farm. (As harold was a farmer.) Phoenix goes on to say that Harold was the murderer as he was mad that the Library didn't like his book. Harold followed him to Karis' house as he was going to tell her (face-to-face) how good the book was but her front door was open he decided to walk in and wait for her inside the Study. Harold followed him in and took her favourite pen and stabbed him in the neck.
