Confess to a Lesser Crime: Difference between revisions

* In the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' game ''Trials and Tribulations'', you manage to save your defendant from a conviction for theft on the first day of his trial, by {{spoiler|pointing out that the supposed Ace Detective Luke Atmey actually did it.}} The suspect crazily admits that yes, he did it! Victory, right? Wrong. Your defendant is promptly accused of killing someone, and you have to prove him innocent of that crime despite the fact that you just proved he doesn't have an alibi for it. {{spoiler|Turns out Luke Atmey faked the theft he confessed to on the first day, then committed the murder, confident that he could confess to the theft and therefore have an alibi for the murder.}}

** In ''[[Apollo Justice]]'', the true killer of case 2 admits to trespassing, burglary and property damage when they say they {{spoiler|broke into the murder victim's office too try and steal a medical chart}}. By that time she had already admitted {{spoiler|she only married a mob boss's son for his money, and that the chart she was trying to get proved she knew said boss's son's life was in major danger, thus she was trying to protect her life}}. She also later in the case admits {{spoiler|that she threatened someone with a gun}}. She does all this because is she did not admit to any of these smaller crimes, then it would mean she was guilty of a much bigger crime: murder.
