Still a tad farfetched, though.
I wasn't talking to
Ron DeLite at the time, though, I was talking to
Luke Atmey. I was trying to prove that
the blackmail letter was for him and not Ron and earlier in the episode, when you talk to
Luke he mentions he was given a red ring as a "prize" for returning a stolen painting.
I assumed that Phoenix, upon presenting the
letter, would say something along the lines of "Hey, remember when you told me this thing earlier? Well, I remembered it and now I can prove it was you." Phoenix often mentions things witnesses told him outside of court during a trial, so I assumed he would do it here.
The
newspaper article makes sense in order to prove
Ron's gem was blue, not red, but normally that wouldn't even be necessary, Phoenix would just say "I heard this earlier" and the judge would accept it. So it's more of an "expectations of what Phoenix will say have been unnecessarily changed."
