Bobby Fulbright


 * "Bobby" redirects here. You may be looking for Bobby Wolfe from the Kodansha Comics manga.

Bobby Fulbright is a hot-blooded detective with the catchphrase "In justice we trust!" He has worked with Simon Blackquill many times and is paired up with him in court. The detective hopes to help the prosecutor redeem himself, and he seems completely oblivious to the latter's attempts to manipulate him.

Personality
Fulbright is enthusiastic and has a strong sense of justice. He is compelled to intervene to help those in trouble, and he would even help defense attorneys if it would lead to a fair trial. His interactions with Blackquill, Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice challenge his sense of justice. He is immune to Blackquill's psychological manipulation tactics as he is too oblivious to know when the prosecutor is trying to manipulate him.
