Default Phoenix Wright question (spoilers)

Okay, I finally finished Phoenix Wright yesterday, after stretching it out over six wonderful months. Anyway, I have a question about the last case:

Spoiler:
Why did Chief Gant kill Neil Marshall? What I got from the testimony is that Ema knocked Marshall out of the way, but she didn't knock him into the armor and just knocked him unconscious. Then Gant comes into the room, picks up the unconscious Marshall, and impales him on the suit of armor's sword... Why? What was his motive for doing this?


I enjoyed the last case very much, with the fingerprinting and luminol, but in general it didn't seem as well written as the others. There were some pretty big plot holes.

Spoiler:
Like why they made such a big deal about the sword being removed from the proscecutor's award. I was sure it was going to play into the murder somehow... and Lana even mentions it as the murder weapon at one point, but she's lying to protect her sister... so in the end it didn't seem to have anything to do with anything. So why did they refer to it so much during the case? It almost seemed like the writers changed their minds about the murder weapon at the last minute and didn't go back to rewrite...
