A lift cart was a piece of evidence in Miles Edgeworth's investigation into the murder of Artie Frost.
Frost's murder[]
- Main articles: Turnabout Legacy & IS-7 Incident
During the initial investigation into Artie Frost's murder, for which Samson Tangaroa had been charged, Judy Bound used the lift cart to steal Frost's sherbet sculptures based on the zodiac. She did so by placing each sculpture on the cart and placing a tablecloth on it, effectively disguising it as a service cart. This allowed her to steal the sculptures in plain sight without anyone noticing. When defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth and his assistant Eddie Fender came by to investigate on Tangaroa's behalf, she was in the middle of transporting one of sculptures. She served them tea, with the ice making the saucers cold. She explained that she had chilled the saucers for the sake of potential guests who did not like hot drinks. She kept all the sculptures in the mansion's freezer.
Carmelo Gusto's poisoning[]
18 years later, Bound bought the mansion from Tangaroa's relatives. She checked on the sherbet sculptures and discovered Frost's body in the Gemini sculpture. Seeing a chance at revenge against the culprit of the IS-7 Incident, she converted the mansion into the Zodiac Hall featuring the sherbet sculptures to lure the killer. She arranged the sculptures inside four rooms representing the seasons, but booby-trapped one of the sculptures to trigger the release of toxic gas. To protect the real Gemini sculpture, she disguised the sculptures representing the fall months — the Autumn Wing — as the sculptures representing the winter months — the Winter Wing.
The trap worked, and she took the cart into the real Winter Wing. Using the same trick she used 18 years prior, she retrieved Frost's body, put it in one of the hollow blocks of ice, and brought it, again disguised as a service cart, to the Summer Wing, where she dumped the body in the fountain's little stream. to excuse her endeavor, she put chocolates on the makeshift service cart, under the pretense of delivering treats to the police investigators. However, because she no longer had a cart once she was done, she was forced to keep her chocolates in her pocket, where they melted a little and became misshapen. She also ended up leaving the cart, now slightly wet, in the fountain room. Another clue that pointed to the deception was the tablecloth itself, which, due to being in direct contact with the hollow block of ice, changed its color from white to light blue, as well as receiving trace amounts of the block's composition.
Edgeworth found the lift cart where Bound had left it. He later used it, in conjunction with a sketch made by Larry Butz, to show how she had moved the sculptures.
