from my past experience, never underlook maintenance folks... noone even cares about them yet they often see/know things.

also i'm rather curious about the bathroom evidence

i fear that, tricky as i know he is, puzzlemaster would have trolled you with lost shirt button in the bedroom evidence :)

but dont bother, i'm just passing by...

Oh, so YOU'RE the one from the Hermit Cave!
*sigh*
BAILIFF! GET THIS RUG OUTTA HERE BEFORE WE BREAK A FEW FIRE CODES!

vote Officer on Scene, Bedroom

Let me be the first one.

A young man with spiky hair and big goggles walks into the courtroom, takes a look around, sighs and walks straight to the jury bench. While sitting down he whispers "And I always thought that a courtroom is much bigger!".

Well, well, now this seems to be an interesting case. Murder, Mafia, Maintenance men....

er , how to put it that right ......

can we talk to the corpse ?

"talk"

Looks a little chaotic in here. A little order, folks! This is a court of justice after all!

Time to get an officer in here to clean things up. Why don't we take the one from the bathroom and get things started. Put him on the stand while we're at it.

Well, of course, but I doubt that it will answer!

You see a mohawked, bearded plump man looking amused.

"Ex-mafioso? You can never quit the Family."

He thinks about women's underwear for a bit, and then decides:

I would like to hear the account of the Officer on Scene, Boudoir.

.....and if it DOES, I'm outta here.

Hm, an undead witness? Would be something new and definitely worth an entry into the Guiness Book of Records. :-)

yeah sure that would ruin the entire trial :P

I would like to have a look at the "mop" used by Archie, so please retrieve it and bring it to the lab for a strand by strand analysis.

REDVWIN

Although knowing THIS court, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
Well, I mean, who ELSE is gonna talk to the dead woman? She ain't an elf, so it sure as heck ain't gonna be you.
