Ken "Acro" Dingling was an acrobat whose legs were paralyzed during an accident six months prior to the murder of Russell Berry. Acro was polite, pleasant and optimistic. He was also quite intelligent and calm, knowing how to keep his cool in any sort of situation. Although Acro admitted at one point that he wasn't great with the ladies, he held close relationships with various animals, including a monkey named Money who boarded with him in his room. He was often accompanied by birds perched on his shoulder or wheelchair. These birds showed a defensiveness of their friend by pecking Phoenix Wright at various points during Acro's courtroom testimony, and even moved in more closely to Acro when he was sad.
