Week 4 - Trial

Week 4: Trial
It's dawn when the Sergeant calls everyone to the courtroom. Despite the early hour, the tribunes of the room are as full as the last two times, sleepy townspeople glaring and looking at the visitors with distrust. The Sergeant told everyone to get to their spots. Anyone who looks behind them, will see the bailiffs carrying Sting Eucliffe away, who is trying to resist them but doesn't seem to have enough strength to do that well.
There are more podiums draped in black now. Clarisse, Eric Lecarde, and Jughead Jones have joined the dead, and their podiums look lonely without their occupants.
With a twirl of the gavel, the Sergeant recites:
He takes a PDA out of his pocket, and holds it in the air. The PDA's text-to-voice software says: 'Forsythe'

Once everyone had a moment to see the faces in the photos, the Sergeant adds:
Let the trial begin.
"Don't worry about him. That guy ate a lot of ice and frost for reasons I don't understand, and now he has a very bad cold. I don't want him making everyone in this room sick, so he's excused. No, that's not a hint all of you should get sick to avoid these trials."

With a twirl of the gavel, the Sergeant recites:
"Today the trial will focus on solving the murder of..."
He takes a PDA out of his pocket, and holds it in the air. The PDA's text-to-voice software says: 'Forsythe'
"...Pendleton Jones the Third. The circumstances need no introduction, we all are aware of them. Here are your suspects"
Once everyone had a moment to see the faces in the photos, the Sergeant adds:
"By the way, there are two separate culprits today. Yes, two of these five people directly caused Jughead's death. When it's time to vote, remember to vote for two different people."
[Welcome to the trial! Please remember to cast your votes here!. Your deadline is 8:00 PM EST. Good luck!]

So I found Jughead’s body... it was in a strange position, unnatural for a recently dead person. He had three gunshot wounds to the chest, but none of them had hit a vital point. Besides that, there was bile in his mouth, and he had a scent of bitter almonds near his mouth, too.
Besides that, I found a half-eaten burger by his body. It had two types of cheese, although one of them had an odorless, white powder on it. And lastly, I found the sign-up sheet for the Variety Show, the schedule, and a note that said “I’m sorry.”

There were also some footprints outside. Whoever it was, they had feet that were roughly the same size as mine. Maybe a little bigger.

That figure also wasn't the one who left the hand-prints on the ground. Whatever that was about, it seems to have taken place before the shooting.

Ask me whatever you want.

[A beat, while she decides how to phrase this.]
I'm guessing Odasaku and Dazai are suspects because it seems likely that they would act as accomplices, and Frasier and Rose are suspects because they're unfamiliar enough with guns that it would explain why none of the bullets hit a vital point.
If you had to guess, why do you think you're listed there?

mods please
Um, Sergeant-san, can I ask something...? Um, you said that there are two people behind this, but what would happen if one or both of them got away with it? I mean-- I don't want them to, but-- would both of them be able to get the... immortality?

motive talk -- suicide cw for Dazai because you know
It's a rather tempting offer, should one have a desire to live.
My own thoughts on that should be fairly clear to most of you, though you're welcome to ask, but I wonder exactly how others involved might feel about it.

Here's how it looks as far as I'm concerned. Culprit 1 cooked a poisoned burger knowing Jughead would eat it. Culprit 2 shot Jughead three times in chest, didn't hit anything important and was probably inexperienced with guns. Don't know if they were working together or not, but I'm guessing they were because Jughead wasn't the easiest person to go after this week. I'll say this outright.
Of the people on that suspect list: Rose and Frasier are the only two who look like they don't have any experience with guns. Both of you were in the variety show Jughead put on. Both of you have either handprints or footprints that could be a match for the ones found at the park and pharmacy.
Frasier, you're a doctor. You'd know what those drugs from the pharmacy would do. Rose, you're old as hell and you're probably banking a little on nobody getting in your face about this. Talk.
