DL-6 Incident
On December 28, 2001, Gregory Edgeworth and his son Miles had just left the courtroom. Although Gregory had lost the trial, he proved the prosecutor Manfred von Karma had tampered with evidence, giving von Karma his first penalty on his career.

The Edgeworths got stuck at the elevator with Yanni Yogi, the court bailiff. After several hours, Yogi started to panick and intended to attack Gregory. Miles, startled, took a gun by his feet and threw at their direction. Meanwhile, von Karma was approaching the elevator. The gun Miles threw fired and hit von Karma's shoulder. At this time, von Karma screamed and the trapped men fainted. The elevator door opened and von Karma, seeing a gun and the man who gave him a penalty, took the weapon and killed his "enemy". von Karma fled the scene and took a six-month vacation, the only one he ever took.

The police was clueless about this incident. They called a spirit medium to help them solve the case. The spirit medium channeled the victim, who accused Yogi of killing him. Yogi was put on trial, but his defense attorney Robert Hammond acquitted him through a temporary insanity plea.

15 years later
On December 25, 2016, Robert Hammond was killed and Miles Edgeworth was arrested as a suspect. von Karma was chosen to prosecute this case, and Miles requested Phoenix Wright as his attorney.

During the trial, a boat rental shop caretaker was called to the witness stand. After his testimony was over, he fled the court, only to be found the next day. On December 28, 2016, the last day for Hammond's murder trial in thie initial trial system and the last day to solve the DL-6 Incident before it was closed forever, Wright proved the caretaker to be Yogi in disguise with the help of the DL-6 Case File. The caretaker had a parrot which he named after his dead fiancee and his safe number was the date of the DL-6 Incident.

However, Edgeworth confessed his guilty on the DL-6, thinking he had killed his father. With the help of the Case File, Wright broke Edgeworth's testimony and showed von Karma as the real killer.
