Case #4 - Defense (spoiler)

[KeithB]

Will the wife get off on temorary insanity?

Her husband was not a very nice man.

Also how did he chip from the tea cup get in the partners vac cleaner? I know he was there, was the chip planted in his car?

Keith,
You pose some interesting dilemmas...because the wife said that she and her husband rarely had visitors . I'm thinking that her daughter planted it there to implicate her fiance-to-be!

[Steve V]

You know, I completely forgot about that piece of the cup.. Aashaads story of what he did at the crime scene has to be believed, so I think we are meant to assume that when he got to Dr Bandareet's room he stood on the little piece of crockery and it got left in his car when he drove away.

That isn't explained very well in the game however

Steve V's explanation is the most logical one. Could have been carried off by his shoes. We all know what kind of stuff stucks to our tennis shoe soles. And this guy is an alleged neat freak! Heck, who keeps a Dyson 6 as a CAR vacuum?

[Poseidon]

But then, why did the surgeon's wife say that she and her husband never had him over as a visitor?? The truth must be sifted out .

[Steve V]

I'll have to play this again but I dont recall Mrs Bandareet saying that Dr Diwaan had never been to her house?

[kschang]

They VERY RARELY have visitors, I believe she said.

Defense will probably raise "battered woman syndrome" instead of "temporary insanity". However, the daughter will likely be charged with interfering with police investigation, as she hid the robe and other evidence and coached the mother to say she knew nothing, rather than admit her own guilt.

kschang,
Wouldn't that imply that Aashad was guilty of perjury ?
