Howdy folks, and welcome to the third Puzzlemaster's Court game! Since I'm too lazy to re-type everything, I'll copy and paste the rules over from the last game. Heck, I'm so bad, I even copy and pasted this introduction, with a few minor changes. Sad, ain't it?

Please note that this game is restricted to the 12 who signed up in this thread. Feel free to participate, but know that your votes may not be counted. You can try to sway the opinions of the voters, though. Or try to solve the mystery yourself. You're always free to PM me your theories.

*****THE RULES*****
In this game, you chosen twelve will be presented with a case. Your job is to vote upon whether or not the person on trial should be sent to the slammer. The rules are as follows:
1. You will all be working together here.
2. Questions which may potentially reveal details or a break in the case may not be asked to me (or at least, you can ask all you like, but I won’t answer), but open discussion is allowed and encouraged.
3. Since you’re working together, you do, however, have the power of the vote! Votes on evidence or clues may be changed, but if ever you choose to make the final vote of guilty/not guilty, it is permanent and cannot be revoked.
4. Your final guilty/not guilty verdict (or, in this case, bring to trial/don't bring to trial) may be presented at any time you please, so long as you can back it up per rule 5.
5. You will not be informed whether you were correct or not until everybody has voted and a ruling has been handed down to the defendant.
6. Please put your votes in bold.
7. There are three prizes. One of them will be distributed randomly among the correct voters, the other will be handed out by my judgement on who has the most puzzling power (you can still potentially win a prize even if you vote incorrectly!). To add SOME sense of competition, the first person to vote correctly will win the grand prize, a Steam copy of Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today, donated by pirateoftheah. Or, if you're not interested in that, there's always stuff from gnostic's GOG list (I'm still amazed at how generous this dude is).
“But, Zeogold!” you cry. “Couldn’t I just guess randomly and have a 50/50 shot at winning?” Ah, here’s the catch: Not only must you vote correctly, but you must also properly explain your REASONING to me via PM, and that has to be correct as well. Only THEN do you get the game and become our big winner. You are also allowed to win for somebody else, if you so desire.
8. The day will only advance when all jurors have voted and a majority has emerged. If there is a clear majority and one or two voters seem to be lagging behind, the remaining jurors will be given the option to speed things along.
9. No guns, knives, or magic is allowed.

The game is held in a series of rounds, known as “court days”. Note that this is NOT a literal 24-hour-period. It is determined by clues (known as “evidence” to keep with the court theme) asked for, each one causing the day to pass. The object of the game is to solve the case in as few days as possible. For each Puzzlemaster’s Court game, I will post the challenge number for those of you who want to push yourselves. This is the minimum number of days required to solve the case.
On each day, you (the jury) will vote on a piece of evidence to view. This will advance the day. I will only present the evidence once all jurors have voted (only exception to this is if the voting is dragged down by one or more inactive members or if there is a clear majority). I will keep track of votes. The game officially ends when all voters have decided on their guilty/not guilty vote, and the verdict will be handed down to the defendant.

Also, since we have a few actors working with us here, I'll occasionally ask you not to post until the judge bangs his gavel. The signal for this will be that the judge will "ask for silence". After this happens, please refrain from posting until the gavel is banged. This is because I'd like a period of time whereby these guys or me can talk. Please respect this. Makes the game more fun that way.

*****THE CASE*****
The Puzzlemaster is hailed as one of the greatest minds of the 21st century. At the age of 18, he has become one of the youngest people to ever attain a medical license.
He was overseeing the admission of his patient to Mt. Oak Hospital.
"It's a broken tibia," he said to the administrator as he showed her the X-rays.
"I put Mr. Lindo in an inflatable leg cast. He can't walk on it. He'll need at least a day's rest and observation. To be honest, the fracture as a result of a fight between Mr. Lindo and his cousin. Until things cool down in the family, I think it better for him to stay here."
Mr. Z. Lindo and Ms. Zeogoldilocks had jointly inherited the family puzzle business, but their relationship soon deteriorated. The latest incident was a fistfight during which Zeogoldilocks swore that she'd kill Lindo, and then proceeded to smash his lower left leg with a baseball bat. Lindo needed someplace safe to stay while he recovered from the trauma and worked out a lawsuit against his cousin. Hence, he was admitted to Mt. Oak.
The Puzzlemaster wheeled Lindo into his private room and made sure the window was latched. It was 8 P.M. The hospital ordered a security guard to monitor the hall and made a note on Lindo's chart not to disturb him until morning.
At around 2 A.M., a nurse ignored that note and looked into room 507. She saw no trace of her patient, but did notice an open window. A deflated leg cast on the sill prompted her to peer out the window. Nothing was on the fire escape, but below it, in the deserted alley, lay the body of Z. Lindo face down on a pile of garbage bags.
The police initially assumed that Mr. Lindo had removed his cast and was trying to maneuver his way down the fire escape when he lost his balance. But that was before they saw the bullet hole. A .38 slug had penetrated the victim's chest and proved to be the cause of death.
Zeogoldilocks was interviewed the next day at Lindo's office and warehouse in an industrial part of town. She showed no grief at the news. "Well, at least he won't sue me."
When asked for her whereabouts between 9 P.M. and midnight, she was prepared with an answer.
"I was here in the office. We were having trouble with our Hong Kong suppliers. I was calling them or they were calling me all night long. I picked up my car at about 1 A.M. Feel free to check with the phone company and the garbage man."
When the grand jury convened two weeks later, it wasn't Zeogoldilocks, but the Puzzlemaster who stood accused of killing Mr. Lindo.
The prosecution's document stated that there were discrepancies in the defendant's story. Mr. Lindo died between 9 P.M. and midnight. According to the guard in the hall, the Puzzlemaster visited Lindo at 12:30 A.M., at least half an hour after he'd been dead, and made this notation on the chart: "12:30. Resting peacefully." And yet, at that time, the victim was already dead. The Puzzlemaster has no explanation for this, other than to say the coroner must be wrong. The door was guarded, the window locked. The victim feared for his life and trusted only his cousin, the Puzzlemaster. Only he had access. And he appears to have lied about the victim being alive at 12:30.
The defense's document claims that the prosecution has no evidence. The Puzzlemaster was on friendly terms with Mr. Lindo, meaning he had no motive. He had no gun among his possessions, and the only gun he has been known to own is his trademarked "puzzle gun", which is non-lethal and does not fire bullets. The guard, who'd been outside the room all during the defendant's 12:30 visit, heard no sound. No gunshots, no struggle, nothing.

Technically, the job of this grand jury is not to judge the innocence or guilt of the Puzzlemaster, but to determine whether or not there is enough evidence to hold him for trial. However, the jurors are concerned for the family, and have decided amongst themselves that they should use this opportunity to ferret out the killer and present this person to the judge.

*****AVAILABLE CLUES*****

Puzzlemaster's challenge:
Solve the mystery by Day 3.

DAY 1
Puzzlemaster's Thoughts:
Trapped between my crazy sister and the pyromaniac prosecutor...great, just great. I'm going to lose my license, I just know it.
Puzzle-Bot's Thoughts:
Tibia result inconsistent with Zeogoldilocks' strength. Baseball bat would bruise bone, but would also shatter bone. Fracturing unusual. Common causes of fractures:
- DISEASE
- FALLS
- REPEATED MOVEMENTS

Evidence revealed: Coroner's Report
The coroner's report states that the time of death was definitely between 9 P.M. and midnight. Death was caused by a single gunshot wound to the chest, severing the right coronary artery and causing the victim to quickly bleed to death. Other damage to the body included a severely fractured tibia in the lower left leg. The tibia was bruised, but not broken. There also appeared to be a few burn marks on the body.

DAY 2
Puzzlemaster's Thoughts:
Burn marks?! If that means what I think it means, I've got to get out of here. I should probably wait for more evidence, but I really don't want to.

Evidence revealed: Prosecution Witness, Telephone Technician
In an attempt to eliminate Zeogoldilocks, the only other principal suspect, the prosecution calls Puzzle-Bot to the stand to review the phone records. He states that Zeogoldilocks had definitely been speaking on her office instrument.
Puzzle-Bot: "No cellular phones had been used to transmit or receive any of the calls. Neither had any special services, such as call forwarding, been used to mask the destination of an incoming call. The longest time elapsing between calls was approximately 20 minutes."
Prosecution: "And with no traffic, the Zeo office and warehouse are approximately 15 minutes away from Mt. Oak Hospital."

DAY 3
Puzzlemaster's Thoughts:
I knew this would happen. My sister and Ms. Katt against each other? This can't end well...BOTH of them are utterly, uttterly insane...I just want to go home...why is the darn bailiff so afraid of ME?!
I wonder who'll be brave enough to take on the Puzzlemaster's Challenge today. If anybody even cares about that thing at this point.

Evidence revealed: Defense Witness, Cecil Vensetti (Room 407)
Defense: "Mr. Vensetti, you were a patient in the room directly below Mr. Lindo's. Did you see or hear anything the night of the murder that might be of interest to this court?"
Cecil: "You see, I woke up late. It was a warm night and my window was open since I didn't want to set off the smoke detector from my cigar. Anyway, I reached out for some vodka on the nightstand. I was kind of groggy, (duh) and when I stuck out my hand I brushed my glass of vodka out the window. That woke me up since that stuff ain't free ya know. I got up and looked out to see if it had hit anybody."
Defense: "Interesting. And what did you see?"
Cecil: "Well, right below my window was this alley. There was some suspiciously large garbage bags there. My glass landed on top of one of the normal sized trash bags and had broken into a couple of pieces almost puncturing the bag. There was no body in the alley, just the bags. There were some bagels or something there, too."
Defense: "When did this event take place?
Cecil: "I checked my clock just before going back to sleep, it was exactly 12:12."

The prosecution seems eager to cross-examine the witness, but since this is only a grand jury, it does not have the opportunity.

DAY 4
Puzzlemaster's Thoughts:
My sister's getting crazier and crazier...and this prosecutor is looking more and more involved. I don't trust anybody anymore...

Evidence revealed: Prosecution Witness, Nurse on Duty
Prosecution: "Ms Almer, could you, please, give us your testimony and tell exactly what you saw?"
Nurse: "Well, I was doing my normal rounds and came into the room just before 2 and immediately went tense when I noticed Mr. Lindo wasn't in his bed! His hospital clothes were piled on the chair there. I decided to check his closet, and all his clothes, his wallet, and keys, were gone, and his crutches were there propped against the wall. I started to get a reaallly bad feeling. I scanned around the room, trying to make sense of anything, trying to figure how he would have done all that...*pause*...and then I saw his inflatable cast up against the window sill. I don't know why but I went right over to it and then clear as day out the window, right under the bright lampost, they have it aimed right at the dumpster, you see, so people know it's there, and it was open and I could see right inside! And I could see a naked body! I could see it clear as DAY I tell you. I looked at my watch right then and it was exactly 2AM."
Puzzlemaster: "Ms. Almer, did you happen to see anything unusual happen that night, before you discovered the body?"
Nurse: "It was just at 1:30am, I had a 5 minute break and I sat on a bench in the hallway to rest my feet. I saw someone. I'm quite sure it was a woman, I noticed them making their way down the hall, away from me, it looked like they were going from doorway to doorway checking the room numbers, which aren't the easiest to see with the light in the hallway at night, so I could tell that is definitely what she was looking at, I think. I was going to call out to her, but before I even got the chance she opened the stairwell door and was on her way down. I could hear and it definitely sounded like she was going down."
A police witness confirms later that the witness' street clothing was never found.

DAY 5
Puzzlemaster's Thoughts:
A female? That could be only one of two people...
...
Hrmph.

Evidence revealed: Prosecution Witness, Officer on the Scene

Prosecution: "Mr. Hunter, could you, please, tell us, what exactly have you seen in the alley?"
Officer: "I arrived in the alley at 2:14 AM, first on eon the scene. I found Z. Lindo totally naked and face down on some garbage bags, at first I thought it was another drunk passed out but this one felt different somehow. When I checked his vitals I found his body cool to the touch and his wristband was the only thing on his person which had the patient ID and room number. When the body was moved by the coroner I observed some blood on the garbage bags but less than what one would expect given the nature of wounds. Some broken glass pieces were found under the body, probably from a drinking glass. There were also numerous breadcrumbs of some sort, and the bags were charred."

DAY 6
Puzzlemaster's Thoughts:
I can't escape from either of these two. The jury drags me back no matter what. I may as well resign to my fate now. I can only hope they'll make the right decision.

*****CHARACTERS*****
Case Members
Zeolito Lindo - Deceased. A man who recently inherited his family's puzzle business along with Zeo Goldilocks. Cousin to the siblings Zeogold and Zeogoldilocks, and was not on good terms with the latter.
Zeo "The Puzzlemaster" Gold - A genius 18-year-old who recently achieved his dream of attaining his medical license, making him one of the youngest doctors in history. He has a reputation for his remarkable puzzle-solving ability. Cousin to Zeolito Lindo and sister to Zeo Goldilocks. Has a hatred of his sister, but was indifferent to his cousin, often referring to him as "the weird Mexican cousin".
Zeo Goldilocks - Sister to Zeo Gold and cousin to Zeolito Lindo. She hates both her brother and her cousin. She recently inherited her family's puzzle business along with Zeolito Lindo, and attacked him with a baseball bat after getting into an argument with him. She is prone to bratty tempter tantrums and violence but, like much of the Zeo family, she has a great amount of puzzle-solving ability and wit.
Puzzle-Bot - A robot built by the Puzzlemaster, originally intended to play Mafia for him. It now includes several features, such as puzzle-scrambling, evidence analysis, a microwave tummy, and the ability to tap phone lines.
Cecil Vensetti - A fish seller who was recently admitted into Mt. Oak hospital after hurting his arm due to an unfortunate accident in a fish-throwing competition. He was in the room directly beneath the victim's.
Dre Almer - The nurse who was attending Lindo's room. This is her first appearance in a courtroom, which makes her rather nervous, causing a few gastrointestinal issues.
Officer Hunter - A patrolman renowned for his incredible attention to details, spotting things which most people miss. His eagle eye has helped him prevent many a crime.

Court Members
The Puzzlemaster- The same one in the defendant's chair is still required to fulfill his duties of being the judge's mouthpiece and overseeing the court. Remember kids: Always watch out for those long-term contracts! He owns a robot made of puzzle pieces which he calls "Puzzle-Bot". He is also apparently a talented lockpicker.
The judge - A wise man who never speaks except through the Puzzlemaster. Is he shy? Mute? Lazy? Nobody knows. He always manages to hand down the correct verdict.
Zeo Goldilocks, esq. - The defense attorney assigned to this case. The defendant seems outraged at this, but afraid of the prosecutor at the same time. It is uncertain how somebody so directly involved with the case was assigned to it.
Zea Gold - An immigrant who has recently changed jobs from a doorman to a bailiff. He has a tendency to be somewhat paranoid, and thus repeatedly insists that the defendant be properly restrained. Presumably unrelated to the Zeo family.
Snow Katt, esq. - A somewhat psychotic prosecutor who used to be a jewel thief and worked as an arsonist for the mafia. After trying to rig a trial, she was incarcerated, but recently got off on a deal which let her out. The Puzzlemaster seems to be afraid of her, even more than he is of his sister.
Dessi Mu, esq. - An assistant prosecutor who has been hired to offset the insanity of Ms. Katt with somebody who's NORMAL for once.

Jurors
Maxvorstadt - Once again on the hunt for geheimnisse and peppers, he accidentally ended up as part of the jury after pursuing Habanerose. Fortunately, he's always ready for a mystery. Even if it's a mystery how he never manages to make his soup.
Yezemin - After giving up on her career of being a lurker, she has now decided to follow her dreams of being a professional panda handler. She has joined the jury in the hopes that it can teach her the skills required. If you can deduce a juror's guilt, you can take care of a panda. Nobody has any idea how these things are related, but her spirit is strong.
omega64 - His Eternal Squiddliness has risen from the depths of the slime to take part in the judgement. His days of simply sitting in the audience are over for now. Today, he rises to oversee the actions of the mortals! That, and the jurors get better food.
amrit9037 - The spidery Dolomedes has been called to jury duty. Usually he's defending clients, but today, he has to decide for himself which side he wants to fight for.
Bookwyrm627 - An accountant who used to be forced to work with the mafia after being threatened over his debts. Fortunately, this time is behind him, and now he fights for justice and the right to stop being stereotyped as the nerd he is.
REDVWIN - They said it was a myth, but lo and behold, there ARE Mexicans on GOG! He brings his love of mysteries and experience from the last trial to the table. Oh, and some guacamole. In an authentic molcajete. He's quickly become popular with the hungrier of the crowd.
ZFR - A gold-loving Irishman who everybody is secretly sure is a leprechaun, but nobody's willing to come out and tell him this directly.
sanfueg - A hooded figure that's popped up out of nowhere. All he does is silently stare forwards while occasionally speaking of theories. And occasionally eat some of REDVWIN'S guacamole. Possibly related to ShadowPatriarch, although this is based off of pure conjecture.
sunshinecorp - Everybody's favorite hard rocker is back again! He's decided that this will be his last trial, so he's going out in style. Which probably means he'll do the same thing as usual, just ride the motorcycle off into the sky after he's done.
ashwald - He jumped in the first trial, joined in the second, and now is so numbed by the chaos, he suddenly believes that he understands Bookwyrm's approach to life. What he doesn't know is that Bookwyrm is giving a deadpan expression because he's trying to conceal the fact he snuck in an entire 2-liter soda.
Habanerose - The world's most sought-after pepper has returned after spending time with his family. As soon as he set foot in town, he found himself pursued by Maxvorstadt. Fortunately, he's quick enough of wit to solve the case, and quick enough of foot to avoid becoming soup.
bler144 - A smurfish juror who is highly experienced with the ways of the courtroom. He's returned, glaring at Habanerose. Not so much because Habanerose won last time, but because he's sitting in front of him, and stands up to block the view whenever something important happens.
ShadowPatriarch - The 13th juror has once again materialized from the shadows! Was he summoned by Omega? Does he know Sanfueg somehow? Did the two of them just shake hands randomly upon recognizing that they were mutually hooded guys? Nobody knows. Good thing it's a grand jury and a 13th juror can indeed be added.

Audience Members
Djaron Djestere - Back again with his lute, singing tunes of wisdom in the shadows. Or it could just be indigestion.
Tauto Taunto - Sleeping in the back again, doing naught but trying to get Djaron to be quiet. Who let this bum in here?

*****RESULTS, PART 1*****
ZFR- Reason for Not Guilty verdict:
"In the case description the following is mentioned:
"It's a broken tibia," he said to the administrator as he showed her the X-rays.
Yet later the coroner's report mentioned the tibia was bruised and fractured but not broken.
So the X-rays were bogus. Zeolito could walk, he escaped through the fire escape went to (I'm thinking zeogoldilocks; she's within driving distance), got in a fight and was killed. Meanwhile an impostor got into his bed, which is why the defendant saw him alive and well after midnight. After that the killer attempted to break the tibia, so it would be consistent with the supposed broken one."

Analysis: You were the first and darn near the closest. You covered most of the major points, Zeolito was capable of walking, got killed, and had his body dumped in the dumpster. The only thing you were wrong on was the theory of the imposter. Since I was the only one besides the nurse who had access or reason to access the room, I simply lied about seeing him since I didn't want to lose my license. You caught on extremely fast, well done. I can't quite tell why you gave the "not guilty" verdict though if you thought the X-rays were bogus, unless you assumed I wasn't the one who had fudged them.
Overall, you got pretty much the solution I was looking for.

Bookwyrm627 - "Lindo was killed by Snowkatt, both to keep him quiet and to frame ZG. He was probably being blackmailed by Snowkatt into working against ZG, considering the hatred between Katt and ZG. A bonus (at first) was the dislike between Lindo and ZG. Katt had been starting to inflict some burn damage on Lindo to keep him in line, after he started getting antsy.

The fight between ZG and Lindo was staged, to get Lindo to the hospital. ZG threatens to kill Lindo, a fist fight occurs, during/after which ZG took a baseball bat to his leg, but fails to actually break it? Dodgy; shouldn't be very hard to actually break that leg if you are using a bat and are serious about causing damage. Lindo ends up in the hospital, where Zeo just happens to be his doctor (after all, Lindo only trusts Zeo). Zeo gets some x-rays of random person's leg, to back up the story about the broken leg, since Zeo is in on the plan to help Lindo escape.

Zeo specifically checks the window, and returns (against hospital orders) at 12:30 to decast Lindo and help cover his escape with the note about sleeping. Unfortunately, Lindo falls off the fire escape and fractures his leg in the fall. Katt gets there before Lindo can get to ZG's car.

How did Katt know when to move? Cecil Vensetti just so happened to be in the hospital with a hurt arm, right below the victim's room, with a cigar and vodka. Notice the name; I'm guessing Cecil might have a mafia connection here (or maybe Katt called in a favor from their mafia days). Cigar and vodka to help pass the time while Cecil keeps an eye out to make sure the victim doesn't leave via the window. Katt is probably nearby, maybe watching a back door. Lindo is supposed to be injured, so he isn't likely to leave through the front door.

Lindo goes out the window, planning to make for ZG's car and vanish (which ZG didn't pick up until 1am; why did she pick her car up at 1am if she's been working at the office all night?). He breaks his leg, Cecil hears the cry of pain and calls Katt, Katt shoots Lindo and walks away. The bagel munching Katt might have dropped some bagels when leaving the alley or when circling the building at some point; alternatively, this detail was just a lie by Cecil.

-Lindo wanted to escape Katt, after helping sabotage ZG for awhile. The Lindo/ZG fight might be because ZG had found out about Lindo helping Katt.
-ZG gets full control of the previously split business for helping Lindo escape.
-Zeo and Lindo may not be fond of each other, but family is family, and Lindo would owe Zeo a favor.
-Cecil repays a favor to Katt (or accepts a bribe) by playing lookout. He is subsequently bribed by ZG to testify in favor of Zeo, and he accepts since Katt is no longer mafia (or no longer bribing him).
-Katt wants to take some revenge on ZG, and had been blackmailing Lindo into it. She sees an opportunity to push serious legal trouble on ZG when Lindo apparently gets hurt and was threatening a law suit. A simple bribe/blackmail (dang, those mafia connections were handy) gets the time of death in the coronor's report pushed to 9-midnight, before the actual kill.
Snowkatt did it, in the alley, with the revolver!"

Analysis: Looks like you fell for the bait. Snowkatt was, for all intents and purposes, basically a red herring. The key here was the fact that the bags themselves were charred (although, to be fair, I think you gave this verdict before seeing that evidence) and that I held an apparent fear of her. She lit the fire for reasons basically unknown outside of pyromania or an attack on myself after the last trial. When you revised your theory, you were much closer.

Bookwyrm's revised theory: "I've taken another look at the evidence so far, and I'm going to stick with Zeogold should not be tried in a criminal court. He's likely to lose his medical license when the Medical Board reviews the case, but he shouldn't be sent to jail.
You want me to post such in the thread as well?

Also, Lindo was stripped naked?? o.O
I don't even know what to make of that.

ZG could have killed Lindo, picking up her car after 1am and then driving over to the hospital and shooting him before the nurse found the body at 2am. However, I'm sticking with my previous story.
I'm sticking with "Don't bring to trial" if you didn't mean for "Attempting to Resist/Escape Arrest" to be a charge.

Falsifying medical records may or may not be a crime, but I'm not inclined to indict someone who does it as part of an attempt to save the patient's life from an outside murder attempt."

Further analysis: Falsifying medical records actually would be reason enough to hold me to trial. I wasn't really attempting to save his life so much as I was attempting to get in on some of that lawsuit money (shown by the fact I didn't raise the alarm upon seeing how Lindo was gone).
The reason the body was stripped naked was because my sister's a clever girl. If Lindo had been found in his street clothes, anybody who'd seen him would know he left the hospital willingly. This move was to ensure that the scene of the crime looked like it was at the hospital.
All this being said, however, your theory is rather impressive and deserves a fair amount of merit. It's actually quite a plausible one. I'd put it in the ballpark of "correct, but not the answer we were looking for". That was very well done.

Maxvorstadt: "I have reasonable doubts if you have done the murder. There are clues leading to your sister. Although it`s not impossible that you`ve done it, maybe by using some Puzzlebot 1.2, I do believe that there is someone else who have done the murder. So, I guess it would be an idea to hold up a trial for your insane sister."

Analysis: You didn't explain in much detail, but you seemed to get the gist of it. Yup, Zeogoldilocks was the killer.

sanfueg: "The Puzzlemaster is not guilty, the nurse appears to be the most prominent suspect. First, she did not respect the rule of no disturbance of the patient, and second, she tries to divert us with a so called visitor (woman) during the night, which is very unlikely considering no one else heard or saw the woman. Also, in this case, the only woman after the life of Mr. Lindo would have to be Zeogoldilocks, however, she has a alibi for that night.
Therefore The Puzzlemaster is not guilty and should not be held for trial."

Analysis: Interesting idea, but I'm pretty sure the guard would have noticed something was up. I'm curious as to what you considered Zeogoldilocks' alibi to be, or the nurse's motive.


omega64- "Right so he left the hospital, probably to kill Zeogoldilocks.
Got killed instead, and dumped into the garbage after she assured it was below the proper window.
Fractured his leg to make it seem like he fell while climbing down.
I think that covers it?"

Analysis: Right on the money. I can't find the rest of it, but you did mention something about a street lamp possibly causing the fire in the dumpster, which I actually like better as a theory than the "official" solution.

*****RESULTS, PART 2*****
Habanerose: "Well, quite the mess our Puzzlemaster got himself into ;)

But some things seem rather odd:

- His fractured leg: as later explained in the Puzzlemaster's thoughts, it seems rather odd
that the leg wasn't outright broken, seen Mrs. Goldilocks physical stature, as she would pass of easily as a burly man rather than a "woman" (more on this later), generally agrressive nature and tendency to use of excessive and gratitous violence.

- The burnmarks on his body: while very possible to be left by long ongoing (childhood?) abuse by his crazy cousin Zeogoldilocks, there also seems to be another rather "sadistically inclined" individual with a tendency for pyromaniac activity.

- The phone records: while indicating "someone" was calling from the Zeo Family Office, it can't exactly be determed who it was, thus not exactly disculpating Mrs. Goldilocks.
Also the rather close proximity of Mt.Oaks Hospital to the office makes it still possible for her to reach and commit said crime (with the possibility of using an employee as a strawman to cover up her absence)

- The bagels in the alley: now guess who has an unhealthy obsession with bagels... both Zeo's crazy sister (as seen on the bagel crumbs on her notebook, though she'd probably eat anything :P) and a certain pyromaniac prosecutor.

- The Nurse: she mentions having discovered the body at 2AM , and seen a mysterious "woman" in the corridors of the hospital about half an hour earlier, searching for a specific room, yet clearly
interested in doing so anonymously.
My Conclusion:

Most of the proof is sadly not enough to raise sufficient support to put the Puzzlemaster on trial, as the only proof possibly pointing towards him was the note on the register, noting Mr. lindo as "sleeping peacefully", when he technically was already dead. Which while suspicious, could still be attributed to the fact that he hadn't really thoroughfully checked on him and most likely only had a short look to see how he was doing (as noted on the register he seemed to only have entered for less than a minute).

Now there seem on the other hand quite a few things pointing towards Ms. Katt, mainly the burnmarks on the victim's body and the bagels found in the alley, and while both of these could be attributed to Zeogoldilocks as well, the nurse mentioned a suspicious "woman" half an hour before discovering the body, sneaking around the "dimlit" corridors of the hospital. And honestly, it seems rather difficult to identify Mrs. Goldilocks as a woman in such conditions, based on her stature and general demeanor. Also, the fact that his leg was merely fractured / bruised rather than shattered to pieces would indicate someone of lesser physical strenght.
Interesting Sidenote and personal conspiracy theory: Mr. Zeogold could have possibly even had a reason to commit said crime, a.k.a the inheritence of the Family Business, as given by his self-proclaimed status as Puzzlemaster, he might have certainly
had reasons to be displeased by the decision to not entrust him with the family business. There is also the ironic fact that he knew about both his sisters and Ms. Katt's tendencies towards violence and physical abuse (and their psychotic behaviors from earlier meetings / trials).
And oddly enough, given enough effort, he could make himself rather easily pass off as a woman, at least more likely than his sister...

Also the rather bad choice of security guard seems rather unexpected on someone who prides himself as such a smart individual. Unless obviously he had all of it planned out right beforehand... the murder of his cousin, the incrimination of his sister,
and ultimately, inheriting the family business as he intended to in the first place. And who else better suited to mislead a whole jury than a Master of Mystery, Deception and Puzzles. And while he could easily have crossed the line, as there is no bigger
motivation than personal gain / greed... sadly (possibly due to his experience), there is not enough proof to raise reasonable doubt among a jury to put him on trial, lest even considering pulling him before a judge, thus he might very well have commited the perfect crime."

Analysis: I'm not really sure what you were getting at with this other than "not enough evidence". You seem to somewhat understand the evidence and how it fits together, you just lack that final push to nail down the real killer.

Yezemin: "Lindo was shot in the chest somewhere between 9 and midnight, probably with a muffler. We really have no idea what happened in that timeframe because none of the witnesses saw fit to cover it in their reports. We can only assume whatever happened, happened quietly. Then he was propped up in his bed to look asleep. This was probably to purposely frame you. As cecil reported Lindo was not yet in the alley at 12:12. Then you checked on him at 12:30 and probably did not check his vitals. You just assumed he was sound asleep and decided not to disturb him. We know from the witness reports that nothing untoward happened during that visit. Then later the nurse sees a suspicious woman in the corridor and a little while after that Lindo's body is found in the alley. I think it's safe to assume that that woman was the murderer who dumped the body in the alley through the window at that time. A short while later the body is found. Now the question remains who that woman was. While zeogoldilocks could have been there for the dumping of the body, I think her alibi for the time of the murder checks out. The presence of bagels and burn marks on the scene however indicate snow katt who maybe hasn't severed her ties to organized crime as thoroughly as we thought. Maybe she conspired with zeogoldilocks in this who benefited from having her competition in the family business removed."

Analysis: I find it interesting how many people assume that the defendant, who is a potential murderer, is always telling the truth. You were correct about the woman being the killer, but the trick was that the hospital was not the crime scene and I lied about the tibia as well as the status of the patient. You have a pretty solid theory, however, so well done.

REDVWIN: "Not Guilty/Do Not Hold To Trial. Difficult to know but most evidence don't point at you, PM. I suspect more on Cecil than anyone else but still can't work a way in which to solve the puzzle without the security guard not noticing his presence... Cecil's fish throwing ability might hint about how he got Lindo's attention and also his cigar might be related with those "burns" on the deceased body... Probably, Cecil threw something from his window to make Lindo open it... later, Cecil climbed up to Lindo's via the fire escape and then, because of the vodka inside his veins, he acted erratically and threw Lindo to the floor, near the garbage bags... even with an hurt arm, he still has enough force to do that. As for the gunshot, I suppose it was there and not on Lindo's room where it happened. The gunner must have been somebody else as it is most sure that Cecil wouldn't be able to hide a gun inside his room. Who this person might be... a random individual just passing by? A bagels fan?"

Analysis: The bagels were just a ruse. Ignoring them is probably the best way to go. Interesting idea, however, implicating the fish seller. His hurt arm kind of stops him from doing anything, though.

ShadowPatriarch: I don't think the defendant is guilty. Firstly, he had not motive. Secondly, even if you take into consideration his odd behaviour in visiting the patient at 12:30, he probably panicked on seeing the patient dead, and wrote the wonderfully cryptic "resting peacefully" (Rest in peace?) message on the patients chart. Im guessing Zeo probably thought his sister was somehow involved in this and wanted to cover for her, and so in his haste he wrote the massage and left, because there was nothing more he could have done.
Also im guessing no one heard any gunshots because the assailant was probably using a silencer or some other sort of sound suppressor on their gun.
The evidence of burns on the victim and bagel remains found on the garbage bags would indicate that someone we know - a pyromaniac lawyer for instance -could have been involved in this incident. Probably moonlighting for Zeo's sister to make ends meet after the failure of her last job."

Analysis: You were fairly close. You were one of the few people to realize I lied about the "resting peacefully" bit. Like Habanerose, you just needed a little more of a push.

...I'm sorry, what?
Aren't you just the doorman from Carlton Towers or something like that? What are you even doing back here?

I have gotten a new job. As you can see from my badge, I am currently the new bailiff.
Now, if you will kindly come with me. The judge has special preparations for you.

Oy! Hands off, bailiff boy! I still have narration to do!

Then you may do it from the defendant's seat, effendi.
Kahretsin! Stop moving! Away with you!

The court doors open. The judge sits in his chair, looming over the entire courtroom. Soon, the defendants pour in.

A red blur charges into the room, zipping past everything and diving into the corner of the jury box. He appears to be wearing a disguise to cover his spicy nature, but it is apparent that this trick is not working.
Quickly pursuing the nimble pepper is Maxvorstadt, clanging a spoon against the inside of a pot and eagerly searching the courtroom. He eventually finds Habanerose hiding in the corner, and pulls out a strange, glowing gun while licking his chops.
Yezemin merrily skips in, snuggling a stuffed panda. She walks over to her spot, but her panda is snatched from her hands by Habanerose, who holds it in front of him for protection. Angered at the loss of her precious panda, she begins loudly chanting.
Suddenly, omega64 rises out of a puddle of slime between the hunter and his prey. Maxvorstadt fires his gun in surprise, encasing His Eternal Squiddliness in a net which simply melts off of his body.
While the three of them are all equally confused, amrit9037 speedily crawls in on all fours, low to the ground, first clinging to the floor, then the wall, then the front of the jury box, then Maxvorstadt's head, then his seat.
The first three to arrive are so startled at amrit's sudden appearance that they don't even notice the first person to actually walk in like a normal person, Bookwyrm627. He calmly takes his seat and shifts his glasses up the bridge of his nose, then reads some papers.
REDVWIN joins the crowd, sitting next to Bookwyrm, patting him on the back, and congratulating him on his recent release. From their conversation, it can be gathered that he left the mafia after the people who were threatening him were jailed and some wellwishers helped him to pay off his debts. REDVWIN brings him a gift basket of tortillas which they share.
ZFR gleefully marches into the courtroom, pulls out a Portal gun, then proceeds to shoot the ceiling above his seat and the floor underneath him, falling into his lucky #7 spot. He then chortles and grins, pleased with himself. Bookwyrm side-eyes him, coughs, makes a few notes, then whispers to REDVWIN through bites of a tortilla that he's 77% certain the gold-loving Irishman is, in fact, a leprechaun. No viable proof of this assertion is currently present, though.
Out of nowhere, smoke pours from the 8th spot. Remembering the last trial, Maxvorstadt immediately puts on his goggles, Bookwyrm wipes his glasses, and Omega flails his appendages wildly in every direction. However, the hooded figure who materializes is not ShadowPatriarch, but a mysterious face they have never seen before, sanfueg. He sits up straight, his eyes covered by his hood, and says not a word.
Suddenly, a loud *BRRRAP BRRAAP BRRRRRAAAAAWWWWWW* roars into the court, followed by the sound of tires screeching and hard rock music playing while sunshinecorp rides his motorcycle and parks it next to the jury bench. Everybody jumps and turns their heads toward him except sanfueg, who still sits stock still. He turns off his motorcycle, scratches briefly, thinks about a model he once saw in a magazine, then gets off and moves to his spot.
The bored-looking ashwald follows soon after. He yawns, avoids the tire marks, turns off the hard rock music blasting from the motorcycle radio, steps past the puddle of slime, snatches the panda from Habanerose, gives it back to Yezemin, and sits down. "I've been to every trial in this court," he mumbles. "Nothing surprises me anymore."
Habanerose looks at the chaos around him, then looks back at Maxvorstadt. The both of them shrug, then sit down, deciding that there's not much they can do at the moment and are now part of whatever's going on whether they like it or not.
It appears that the last juror is missing until a loud "A-HEM" is heard from in front of the jury box. Automatically knowing who this has to be, ashwald lean forwards, picks up the smurfy bler144, and places him in his spot.

A murmur rises from the jurors, as there is nobody in the defendant's seat. However, zeagold soon walks in, leading in front of him a figure draped in chains, dragging one of his feet, to which there appears to be a weight attached.
"Is that....the Puzzlemaster?", Yezemin asks. "Finally!", ashwald jumps up and screams. "Now HERE'S something I haven't seen!" "GUILTY!", Habenerose yells. "BURN THE MUZZLEPASTER LIKE I TOLD YOU TO DO LAST TIME!"
The Puzzlemaster walks in, looking utterly confused, and sits in the defendant's chair.

Did he get off his motorcycle or did he actually get off? O_o

Taking the previous history of his actions into account, I do not want to know.
