10 Video Game Characters Who Completely Dropped The Ball

Damon Gant is a very, very smart man - but you could easily not see that playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, as he makes some truly dumb decisions during the time you know him.

After pursuing and capturing wanted killer Joe Darke, Gant worried that the evidence gathered was still not enough to convict this dangerous man, and that he would ultimately go free. When Darke broke out of interrogation and knocked Gant's colleagues unconscious - while also being knocked unconscious by them - Damon saw a gruesome opportunity.

He killed the young prosecutor Neil Marshall, and staged the the scene so it would appear as though Joe had killed him in their scuffle.

Not content with simply doing that, Gant then concocted an elaborate scheme that consisted of framing another prosecutor's sister, Lana Skye, in order to get said prosecutor to assist him. He then killed another of the detectives involved in the case, thus creating a whole other crazy plan to make that murder look as though Lana Skye had done it.

As you might imagine, the more wacky nefarious schemes Gant created, the easier it was for our heroes to spot that something was very amiss, meaning that Damon Gant essentially managed to sabotage himself
