Pierce's "Right to Remain Silent" testimony is really clever in concept. It reminded me a lot of 3-2's final testimony in that it's not something you can just tackle head on. You have to think through it a little. Pierce will answer anything Phoenix asks, but only if he asks the right questions, which is really smart. It's technically what a witness in court should do! You're not supposed to volunteer anything you aren't asked. What wasn't a smart move was goading Edgeworth and basically getting him to team up with Phoenix to take him down collectively. I guess it was a good thing in the end because it finally gets Edgeworth acting like himself, only caring about the truth and not trying to rush the verdict like he does a few other times in this case. I like that Pierce just yammers non-stop to prevent Phoenix from being able to talk as he gets closer to the truth. The Revisualization here is rather dumb and not in a "so bad it's good" way like 6-4's. "What was Gloomsbury killed with? The murder weapon. What was the murder weapon? The Time Keeper." Really? Come on now.

I like Pierce's breakdown a little bit, although his motive falls flat for me. That's the main thing I've got against him, because otherwise he's pretty good. Afterward, Sorin re-proposes to Ellen in a rather touching moment, and I like how the Judge corrects himself before he gives the verdict, changing her name from "Ellen Wyatt" to "Ellen Sprocket" as he pronounces her not guilty.

I think 6-6's length goes a long way to making it more digestible for me. It doesn't overstay its welcome. We have our first segment to finish in under an hour since E1-2 Middle (the first in the main series since 4-4), and the shortest non-PW1 investigation day, period!
