A witness from Phoenix's first case.

He has a slimy personality. He can suck up a great deal, but in the end is a common thief and coward.

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, during one of his burglaries, Sahwit was caught in the act by the owner of the apartment, Cindy Stone. He picked up the nearest thing he could find, a clock-statue of "The Thinker", and hit her over the head with it. The clock then spoke the time, which Sahwit believed was the real time. She died of blood loss, and Sahwit decided to frame her boyfriend Larry Butz, who had visited her apartment on the day of the murder. 

Sahwit was called as the sole witness to the murder. His testimony was full of holes that the new defense attorney, Phoenix Wright, could exploit, even giving testimony that contradicted his earlier statements, and he soon reached a point in which he was accused of the murder. He then switched from his sycophantic persona into his real, rage-filled nature. He flung his toupée at Wright and shouted at him that he had one final question. He said that Wright could not prove that the clock was telling the correct time at the time of the murder, but Wright - with the aid of Mia Fey - explained that the victim had gone to France the day before the murder. Sahwit broke down on the stand; he hyperventilated and collapsed. Butz was subsequently declared not guilty, Wright's career took off, and Sahwit was convicted and imprisoned. 

In Gyakuten Saiban 2, For the next few years, Sahwit lived as a model prisoner and began training as an animal groomer for the therapy animals living in the prison, hoping that this would help get his sentence reduced. One day, he fell and broke his electronic prison bracelet, which would send an electric shock to prisoners who tried to enter certain rooms unattended. Because of this, he was secretly able to move about the prison as he liked. Prison warden Marī Miwa found out, but instead of punishing him or replacing the bracelet, she decided to use him toward her own ends. On a weekly basis, Sahwit would access the circuit breaker and cut the power, then return later on to restore the power. In exchange, he would be able to keep his little secret, and Miwa would give him special treatment./
