Emob78: Of course you're not. You're the damned Riddler in disguise... you're just trying to fool us with that alter-ego of Puzzlemaster.

Let the hostages go, Puzzlemaster.

zeogold: Hey, now, I'm no Riddler. That idiot is an amateur, he leaves clues that lead right to him. ME, I leave puzzles so unfathomably difficult, by the time they figure it out and realize that it has nothing to do with the recent string of angered puzzle-solvers, I'm long gone.

I don't know, telling women I'm really good at _____ has always worked out pretty well for me.

Then I just continue solving. Eventually, I break the world record for most puzzles solved, and increase my ego like that. At the very last, I'll encounter the computer Deep Thought, which will give me The Unsolveable Puzzle, which I will solve, creating a black hole with the same cataclysmic results as dividing by zero, whereupon both I, Deep Thought, and the entire area within a radius of 5 miles will all be drawn in, where I become dead to the world and disappear into The Umpth Dimension, where I shall live the rest of my days dispensing my knowledge of the universe to make the world a better place.
Some dotpoints:

*Just one armed guard dispatched to the bank?

*A bunch of $20 notes. It's likely we'll be able to find a lot of $20s somewhere - or - they have somehow laundered the money...

*I don't have experience with this, but dragging someone into a car seems like it would take a while. Did the guard just patiently watch while that happened?

...........

*Restoring water? Why?

*I assume 'dead, bloody body' = 'injured friend' = Jeremy Oaks.

...............

*I guess the implication behind 'furnished nicely, but was kind of messy' is that he really let himself go after his wife left.

*Very preoccupied by his wife leaving.

*When were the clothes put into the machine?

..................

*Computer-enhanced still? Is this CSI? Is this all set inside the world of a crime drama??

*The still image of the masked man is pretty much useless if it could also be ' hundreds of other local men'.

..................

*No criminal record doesn't inherently mean he's never committed a crime...

*From the numbers: he married someone, they moved house four years later, he was unemployed / employed in some other way for a year.

*Why does he hate kids on his lawn?

*'patient as a saint' seems like a clue. Maybe he was planning something for a long time? Also, patience is required for dragging bodies through a field.

*Well, he obviously wasn't home all night...

-----------------

Evidence from Defendant's House

He has been very hung up since his wife left. I'm getting the vibe that the house hasn't been cleaned in any way since then, which is weird for someone that is very interested in doing laundry.

Perhaps there is some kind of documents from his ex-wife, maybe receipts from the travelling salesman. Maybe something that ties him to Jeremy Oaks. Maybe a gun. Maybe more suspicious clothes or a mask. Maybe a bunch of $20 notes? Who knows. Whatever the case, people's houses are the most likely to be a treasure trove of clues.

I wish you all the luck in the multiverse then. But... I have a feeling that the power of Christ is going to compel you to do something else.

Either way, you have my sympathies.

"i'm really good at playing the William Tell Overture on my armpit."
Yeah, sounds like you'll be a real hoot with the ladies.

I could try humming that, I suppose. It does have nice variation in both pace and volume.

Though not on my armpit.

No worries, there's a Defendant Protection Program in place. Anybody who attempts to harm you will be unmercifully struck down with another puzzle.

Yup, those are our only two voters who haven't said anything yet.
Edit: Erased a fair bit of text because I want to give some time for gamefood to show up and give his opinion/vote, even if his vote is swamped over/won't matter. The day isn't over until all 12 jurors have voted!

Bump
Bumping this thread. 20 minutes without a single post?! Shameful! Did none of you tick the favorites box on this?
Edit: Whoops, Emachine beat me to it. Looks like we have some sort of psychic, puzzly connection.
