Tonight, in Synopses of Fictional Game-Shows.

In this episode of Video-Game Celebrity Weekend Nightball Prime, our special guest, Phoenix "Nick" Wright, defends his client against the prosecution of his most challenging foe to date: Pope Stephen VI! Though not infallible, having lived four centuries before the decree of Papal Infallibility was enacted, his combination of temporal and spiritual power presents a near-unbeatable combination! But Phoenix Wright knows he must prevail - he must prove his client innocent!

It might be tricky*. BUT WRIGHT KNEW THAT WHEN HE TOOK THE JOB.

*Actually, Phoenix Wright is probably the best fictional lawyer you could choose to defend a dead guy. See, his closest advisor/friend is this spirit medium, who herself channels the spirit of her dead sister, also a spirit medium...

(Edit: Historical context is here. Strange stuff, history.)
