The Old Bailey is the London court building where Ryunosuke Naruhodo defended his clients during his time in England.
Trials[]
There have been six known trials held at the Old Bailey:
- Trial of Magnus McGilded for the murder of Mason Milverton
- Trial of Soseki Natsume for the attempted murder of Olive Green
- Trial of Soseki Natsume for the attempted murder of William Shamspeare
- Trial of Gina Lestrade for the murder of Pop Windibank
- Trial of Albert Harebrayne for the murder of Odie Asman
- Secret trial of Barok van Zieks for the murder of Tobias Gregson
Name[]
- The Old Bailey is based on the real-life Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, which is commonly referred to as the Old Bailey after the street on which it is located in central London. The Old Bailey has existed in the same location since the sixteenth century, albeit in a succession of different buildings, with the current structure being completed in 1902.
Development[]
- Although, the courtroom layout is vastly different to past and present real-life iterations, instead resembling the typical layout of a Japanese courtroom, the aesthetics are broadly similar.
- Compared to past courtrooms in the series, the Old Bailey has a few key differences:
- The witness stand is a lot wider to allow for more than one witness to testify at once, in a similar manner to the witch trials in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
- The presence of a jury introduces a new plot element to trials not been seen elsewhere in the Ace Attorney series. Unlike in Turnabout Succession, jurors are prominently visible, can interact with others in the courtroom, and can announce their verdict at any time.
Note[]
Some other trials are mentioned in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, but it not stated whether or not they took place at the Old Bailey:
- Secret trial of Genshin Asogi for the murder of five British nobles
- Trial of Seishiro Jigoku for insulting the British Empire and breaking the witness stand
- Trial of Odie Asman for criminal dealings
