Case 3-2 - The Stolen Turnabout

Ron talks about how he was fired for stealing info, he didnt tell Dessie because he didnt want to lose her. Instead, he turned to a life of fabulous, fabulous crime to keep up with her spending habits.

Ron admits to wearing the MaskDeMasque outfit and how it presented some challenges wearing a cape while trying to work with the safe/stuff the body inside. The mask itself helped disperse the impact of the killers strike on Rons forehead. We talk about how Ron must have been unconscious during the whole buzzer/no guard coming fiasco, otherwise he wouldnt have taken so long to stow Mr Bullards body in the safe. The buzzer would have given it a sense of urgency.

Thanks for that always-timely, beyond-the-grave encouragement, Mia! We yank Luke Atmey out of his MaskDeMasque trial next door to come testify in our trial.

We destroy Atmeys alibi by proving to the court that he took his security camera photo at another time during the prior two weeks, and he moved the Ami Fey statue to do it. I genuinely thought there was going to be something more about paint getting on the cape and thats why we had to tear the cape off, but thats just me overthinking things.

DeMasques calling card reveals the problem - Atmey has seen the urn, but he only saw it after it was repaired by Adrian Andrews, so he thought it was supposed to be pink speckled. Quite a look, but not quite the one that generations of the Fey family had in mind.

Godot presses us to find a motive for Atmey to kill Mr Bullard of KB Security. We find that Mr Bullard was blackmailing Luke Atmey, not Ron DeLite. We have double jeopardy issues, so we have to push forth if we want to hold Mr Atmey accountable. Mia appears through Maya and insists that we be allowed to cross-examine Mr Atmey for his recent statements.

This leads us to an annoying game of only press on the right statement, you only get ONE CHANCE. Well, I didnt wait long enough - Phoenix usually changes what he says or other people react differently when youre right in this game. So I ended up pressing on all 11 statements and hating myself. I didnt wait long enough for Phoenixs retort to Godot ... since all the reactions appeared to be the same.

Anyway, after getting extremely frustrated and seeking out a guide, I pressed on the correct statement - Atmey knew information he shouldnt have known, since he was in the other courtroom at the time of Rons testimony.

Despite an ending process that made me quite possibly the angriest Ive ever been playing this franchise, it was a good case.

Next is 3-3! See you tomorrow!
