[edit] The Crime

A few months prior to the case Furio Tigre, owner of the loan shark Tender Lender was in a car accident with Viola Cadaverini. The crash barely wounded him but Viola had to have surgery performed to the cost of $1,000,000. Her grandfather and an extremely powerful figure in the criminal underworld Bruto Cadaverini demanded he pay him the cash in exchange for his life. Furio started a relationship with Viola in an attempt to soften the blow and employed her.
At first he started calling in the debts of Jean Armstrong (owner of Tres Bien), Glen Elg (computer programmer at Blue Screens, Inc. and a few others. However, the amount he was recieving was not enough. Glen, desperate to repay his debts before the deadline, took up gambling. However, that only had the effect of worsening his debts so as a last resort he created a powerful computer virus, worth more than enough to pay off Viola's medical bills. He and Tigre met up at Tres Bien but the plan backfired when he won a moderate amount on the lottery, enough to pay off his debts but not close to what Tigre had to acquire. Desperate, Tigre poisoned him in order to get the virus, blackmailing Jean via his own debts to Tender Lender to say he never saw Tigre. Afterward when Victor Kudo entered the cafe, Tigre and Viola faked the murder again without Tigre on the scene. Tigre pinned the murder on waitress Maggey Byrde. Finally, Tigre masqueraded as Phoenix at Maggey's trial to ensure she would get a Guilty verdict.
About a month later, Detective Gumshoe came to the true Phoenix Wright with a magazine saying that he had been trounced horribly in a poisoning case he had taken a month ago (the case in which Tigre dressed up as Phoenix), and demanded to know what happened. Wright, however, knew nothing at all about the incident. He then proceeded to explain to Gumshoe that that trial was probably led by a fake Phoenix. Gumshoe then demanded that Wright fix his "mistake" and went to request a retrial.
Phoenix and Maya then went to the Detention Center, to meet with the unfortunate defendant who had landed a phony lawyer. This unlucky person turned out to be none other than Maggey Byrde, who was previously a client of Wright's one year ago. After explaining to her the current situation, Phoenix then proceeded to ask about the details of her case. Maggey had, since last year, become a waitress at a French restaurant called Tres Bien, which led to this whole mess. She claims it started with two men, drinking coffee at a table. One of the men slipped some poison into the other's cup, according to her, and after the victim drank the poisoned coffee, Maggey supsequently passed out from the shock. She then tells Maya that she had never even seen the victim before.
Maya then asks Maggey how she could have possibly been convicted if she had seen another man at the table. She responds is that because no one else saw the other man. Everyone at her trial testified that the victim was alone at the table the entire time. She then goes on to say that the police had found some incriminating evidence in her pocket, a bottle of poison. However, since she had passed out, the killer could have slipped the poison in her pocket while she was out cold.
