You need to remember that this judicial system is fucking retarded to the point that in Apollo Justice [spoiler]they decided to put a 13 year old blind kid on trial for killing someone with a revolver that weighed about 20lbs[/spoiler] as well as the fact in Trials and Tribulations [spoiler]a complete stranger was able to be a defence attorney with a fake badge and a blue suit[/spoiler], and when you put this together with an incompetant judge and someone who prefers a guilty verdict to the truth you can see that when you may know the right evidence, and the culprit you still need more to convince the people around you.
As for Phoenix's character, it's mainly to show that he is still a happy go lucky rookie. He's a smart person but the twists and turns in the case throw him off, and the game itself has the handicap Phoenix to handicap the player, but if the player knows what the present then it makes Phoenix look like a retard. What I didn't like though, is that when you get to Apollo Justice [spoiler]Phoenix actually becomes a competent person who seems to know what's going to happen before it does, and actually acts like he should after these years, but once you jump back in Dual Destinies he reverts back to his AA trilogy self which makes NO SENSE[/spoiler] as well as the fact that AA games are meant to be somewhat humourous and so one way this is done is to make Phoenix act more stupid than he actually does (through stupid options and such) and this is seen in how everyone else around him acts much more stupid than him apart from the prosecution and the main bad guys half the time.
Also, as for the Maya and Miles, Maya has her spirit medium retardedness, you need to remember that she can't always call upon Mia to help her, and when she does it's only when HE REALLY NEEDS IT, and since she never trains pretty much. Maya becomes useless outside of that, it's why the fact we can call upon Deus Ex Machina when we actually need her instead of just forcing her in every game or so.
And for Miles, by law he cannot help the opposition or the trial would end and new lawyers would be chosen. The fact that he does only arises from the fact that he only ever goes with what he believes in, and if he believes that someone is guilty but is not the defendant then he will try to make sure they get the guilty verdict. As seen in 1-3 and 1-5.
