Gaspen Payne is a prosecutor and the younger brother of the "Rookie Killer" Winston Payne. He is said to be somewhat more villainous than his sibling, as he is not afraid of using dirty tactics. He is the prosecutor for the trial of Juniper Woods. Just like his brother having a nickname, he has two aliases: the "Rookie Humiliator" and "Defendant Humiliator".

Personality

Whereas his brother, Winston, is generally unpleasant but not corrupt, Gaspen is a darker example of his older brother. He constantly claims to be a gentleman, but also badgers young women in court to the point where the Judge must intervene. He is smarmy and arrogant, just like his brother, but he is also a coward. He was the only person when did not return when the bomb in the case he was prosecuting was proven to be a fake. He is an example of the dark age of the law, as he is found during the credits of the game to have been charged with falsifying evidence and receiving a severe salary cut because of it.

Name

• His Japanese surname "Auchi" (亜内) is a Japanese romanization of the English word "ouch".

• His Japanese given name, "Fumitake", is a simple reversal of the two halves of his brother's Japanese given name ("Takefumi").

• His full English name "Gaspen Payne" is a play on "gasp in pain". This not only matches the meaning of his Japanese surname, but is also similar to his older brother's name pun (Winston Payne; "winced in pain").
