A senile old witness for the trial of Miles Edgeworth for the murder of Robert Hammond. Frequently confused, he calls Wright "Keith" and Maya Fey "Meg", and he believes they're his children who had come back to him to inherit his "pasta shop". He also has the habit of falling asleep spontaneously. He owns a pet parrot called "Polly".His real name is "Yanni Yogi", and his "senile, confused old man" demeanour is all an act. Yanni was a bailiff at the District Court, and was the prime suspect in the DL-6 Incident.In 2001, during the DL-6 incident, Yanni Yogi accompanied defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth and his son Miles into an elevator to leave the courthouse. Suddenly, an earthquake struck, shutting off the power and leaving the three stranded in the elevator for five hours. During this ordeal, Yogi panicked and attacked Gregory. During the struggle, Yogi's pistol fell out of its holster, and Miles tried to stop the fighting by throwing it. There was a single gunshot and a scream, and all three of the passengers fell unconscious. When Yogi woke up, Gregory Edgeworth was dead and he was the top suspect in the murder.Due to the lack of evidence against Yogi, the police used a spirit medium by the name of Misty Fey to contact Gregory's spirit. Gregory accused Yogi of the murder, so Yogi was arrested and put on trial for the murder. Yogi's lawyer, Robert Hammond, instructed him to plead temporary insanity to avoid conviction. Yogi did so and pretended to have succumbed to brain damage from the lack of oxygen in the elevator. This got Yogi an acquittal.Because Yogi had gained an acquittal through an insanity plea rather than a not guilty plea, he lost his social standing and his career as a bailiff. In addition to this, his fiancée, Polly Jenkins, committed suicide. Yogi blamed Hammond and Miles Edgeworth for what had happened to him, because he really had not done anything but had been compelled to admit both to wrongdoing and to crippling brain damage. Despite his troubles, he managed to land a job running a boat rental shop at Gourd Lake. He also burned his fingerprints off for the sake of hiding his real identity.Sometime in December 2016, Yogi received a letter from Prosecutor Manfred von Karma, which contained detailed instructions for killing Hammond and then framing Edgeworth for the murder. On Christmas Eve, Yogi called Hammond and Edgeworth to his shack. When Hammond arrived first, Yogi fatally shot him through the heart. About 15 minutes after midnight, Yogi put on Hammond's coat to disguise himself, and then he took Edgeworth on a boat ride to the middle of Gourd Lake. There, Yogi made known his intentions for revenge and shot the murder weapon twice, the first to attract the attention of any potential witnesses, and the second to give the witnesses a false crime scene for Hammond's murder. Yogi jumped backwards into the lake, leaving Edgeworth and the pistol on the boat. Yogi then put the coat back on the victim's body, threw it into Gourd Lake, and called the police, telling them that he had seen Edgeworth murder Hammond.[Based on his Ace Attorney Wiki page.]
