Warder Gameshow Week - Welcome to The Black Magic Stories!

[Theodora]

Well, my line of reasoning was that doctors tend to have namebadges, and lawyers might~?  Postmen don't, however.  If he was the only one without a name badge, and the others weren't named John, then we have our answer.  Oh, and cause it's bugging me...that double jeopardy thing from earlier wouldn't actually work...  Technically, those would be two different crimes, and two separate trials.  It wasn't actually double jeopardy.

 

The doctor and the lawyer...they weren't dead as well, were they?

About the previous crime: The man was released from jail after completing a 20 years sentence for the murder of his wife. He used to be a well-respected rich businessman. She faked her death (being strangled), took all his money and change her name,ID. But not her face, so the husband saw her and indeed strangled her. He already had completed the sentence for strangling his wife. You cannot be judged for the same crime twice.

 

About the current crime: no name badges, tags, tattoos, anything. The suspects were all alive and on their feet. The pattern on the wall cannot be such a solid proof - any of the suspects could have moved, they could have switched places.

 

It is another thing...

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Is the fact that he is a postman important?

[Theodora]

not really, but at least he could have preferencial rates when he sends mail from prison

[Kwom Masbag]

I was in a forensics class, though. ;-;

Why was a police officer in the halls of a mansion anyways?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

the postman was the only man

 

the doctor and lawyer were women

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

John therefore was the murderer with the Y chromosome

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Well done cindy. Was going to repost the scene but think you got it.

 

Bah, was even thinking the postman was the only one with hands

[Kwom Masbag]

Oh, so John gotta be a guy now?  Why John gotta be a guy?  You best check yo priveledge

 

Hah, I considered that myself, RTE.  Doctors probably need hands, though...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

John is a mans name. perhaps the most common one in English speaking countries.

[Theodora]

Cindy gets a point

 

You started cutting hands and I was morbid

 

Let's head to WoT.

 

Mat and Talmanes both order oosquai. The bartender brings two identical drinks. Mat drinks his quickly and leaves to talk to Rand. Talmanes savours his drink longer and he dies. What happened?

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Is it something about the properties of the oosquai itself? 

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Does someone always have to die in these stories?  

[Kwom Masbag]

About the previous crime: That is a somewhat convoluted situation, but more likely he'd receive a lightening of his sentence, or a pardon, or the judge would face some sort of censure.  However, the poor misaccused man had "committed" a separate crime at two different instances in time, and therefore does not fall under the purview of DJ.  Double Jeopardy only protects from being tried for the same crime twice.  If he had been accused of murder and then gone free, and later more evidence comes to light that suggested that he actually did kill her, then Double Jeopardy could be invoked.

 

Sorry, just a joke.  Sometimes I forget that not everybody has my (often ill-timed) sense of humor.

 

Hmm...did the inn burn down?

Hrm. Damn Hollywood movies lying to us... Interesting. 

[Kwom Masbag]

I...erm...may have taken Criminal Law and Criminal Justice courses back in high school.

[Theodora]

Kwom, about the DJ, well, did not know that but we could awlays kill the man

 

RTE, well, let's say the mortality in those stories is quite high, but sometimes they get away with it - like Mat

 

So, RTE, what about the oosquai, it could be vodka if you want but let's say it is a strong spirit.

 

Kwom, no, the bar did not burn down.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

are those drinks served straight or on the rocks?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

imma say on the rocks and there was poison in the middle of the ice cubes.

 

drink fast, you're fine

 

drink slow... they melt, you're dead.

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Ooooh Cindy.

 

You scare me more than Theodora does. But I guess that's a given...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it's not something I would do myself. it's more like an Alfred Hitchcock thing.

[michellem]

You guys are twisted

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I blame tv

[ReleaseTheEvil]

Ha ha. I don't know what else it would be unless it involved something apart from the two men and the drinks. 

[Aidanna]

Ooh, good one.

I think Cindy has it - Or someone poisoned one and it was meant for someone else (Mat). That's all I got.

[Theodora]

The drinks were the same and so was the ice - with poison core. Mat drank it quickly, before the ice melted and saved himself, but Talmanes - drank very slowly and the poison was dissolved into his glass.

 

A point for Cindy!

 

And btw, I blameThe Taint

 

Let's see you on this:

 

A man was running as fast as he could in a dimmly lid hallaway.The lights started flickering, so the man stopped running and begun crying.

 

What happened?
