Admiral Bradley Involved In Edgeworth Impostor Scandal
A Report by Phoenix Wright, Investigative Reporter
Printed in several newspapers, more in Vohemar than Ivona, as well as posted to a news bulletin on the journal network

Recently, it has come to light that Miles Edgeworth, officer of the Gloriosa, has been replaced by an impostor. Though his name and origins are unknown, the suspect possesses shapeshifting abilities, and has been imitating the Ivonian commander ever since the Amestris stopped in Bydan. Though he is currently safely in the custody of Amestris security officer Michael Garibaldi, there are many unanswered questions, such as where the real Edgeworth went, and why he disappeared.

The answer lies with Grand Admiral King Bradley. Though we are not at liberty to reveal Commander Edgeworth’s location, he has been in contact with those close to him and has informed them that the Grand Admiral attempted to murder him. The evidence points to a collaboration between Bradley and the impostor: a conversation taken from the journal the impostor was using while posing as Commander Edgeworth makes this quite clear. (The full text is transcribed at the end of this article.) King Bradley was not only aware of the substitution, but facilitated it himself by getting the real Edgeworth out of the way.

In fact, there is evidence that strongly suggests that King Bradley is not who he says he is, either. Though he claims to be from Central, a small suburb south of Melior, his name appears on no school records in the area - or any records at all. Neither do any of the residents remember the Bradleys. Up until his enrollment in Bellcius Academy, his history is a complete fabrication. There’s even something strange about his “son.”

[PRINTED ARE TWO PHOTOGRAPHS OF SELIM. HE IS IDENTICAL IN BOTH. The photographs are absent from the network version of this story.]

As you can clearly see in photographs from five years ago, compared with recent ones, he hasn’t aged a day. There is much more going on here than meets the eye. All this evidence combined with King Bradley’s hasty exit after the false Edgeworth was revealed, is cause for suspicion and further investigation. Whether the Ivonian government will take up the case, or if the impostor, Bradley and Selim have enough co-conspirators in influential positions to hush it up, remains to be seen.
