Day6, Bobby and Erika
Mar. 15th, 2017 03:53 am[assuming he'd meet with her, Erika would invite Detective Fulbright back to her dressing room.]
Ah. Detective Bobby Fulbright. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me. It is a pleasure, I assure you.
The reason I bring you here is I want to clear up a number of issues that have come up in the course of my investigation. Will you listen to what I have to say?

With your permission, I would like to tape record this conversation for the sake of the record. ...Ah. Only with your permission, of course. May I have it?

It is, shall we say, the sixth day of this time spent at this game. This is a conversation between I, the Great Detective Furudo Erika, and Detective Bobby Fulbright, the 'Hero of Justice'.
This conversation is being recorded inside of my dressing room and Mr. Fulbright has consented to the recording. Please, Mr. Fulbright, confirm your identity and I will begin with why I asked you here.

Date: 2017-03-16 03:47 am (UTC)As his handler, you must be very familiar with the case regarding his conviction.
In your own words, would you please explain the nature of his crime?
--Ah. Of course, I do not ask for any sensitive police information. Please, by all means, keep it to general information available to the public.

Date: 2017-03-16 04:33 am (UTC)Seven years ago, he was charged with murdering his psychology mentor. A verdict was reached quickly, due to Prosecutor Blackquill's confession, as well as two major pieces of evidence.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 04:38 am (UTC)Can you tell me Mr. Blackquill's sentence? His punishment, that is. Obviously, he is incarcerated, but I would very much like to hear the specifics.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 04:47 am (UTC)But he's been in prison for seven years now, of course.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 04:57 am (UTC)...Though, I suppose I don't need to be told.
Murder is a capital crime, after all. If he confessed to the murder, of a close confidant, with substantiated evidence, he must be serving no less than a life sentence with parole.
Though, if I recall, possibly the United States has life without parole? This is something my native Japan does not have as a punishment.
Even further, the United States shares with Japan the possibility of the most severe of punishments... the death sentence.
Unless there are truly extenuating circumstances, it certainly must be one of these three. Your comment, Mr. Fulbright?

[a moment later, she starts it back up]
...Oh, pardonne-moi, Mr. Fulbright, but I am not a 'mere' detective. I am a Great Detective.
That brings me to my next question, if you please...
This is not a question of fact, but of your opinion.
Do you believe... that Prosecutor Simon Blackquill... may, in fact, be innocent of the crime for which he was convicted and sentenced?
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 05:18 pm (UTC)I was not involved in that case, I only started working with him a year ago. But if there's any verdict I hope was wrong......
[Adjusts sunglasses.]
Let me make one thing clear. Even if he really is guilty... Prosecutor Blackquill is not a bad person.
He's been given special permission to be escorted from prison to practice prosecution due to his dedication in seeking justice against criminals. And on top of that, I've been personally subjecting him to rehabilitation techniques, and his progress is outstanding. He carries a sense of justice greater than anyone I know. Whatever the courts decided he was when pronouncing him guilty, he is not that sort of person now.
Innocent or not, I believe in him... more than anything!
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 09:20 pm (UTC)I will say, as the detective, that all available evidence suggests that he is innocent. Of course, I can't address specific details of the case, except to say that his confession is not convincing, but all available evidence collaborates this reasoning. It is definitely the opinion of his sister that he is innocent, though of course, it makes sense that she would be so optimistic.
But I take it that, regardless of the question of whether Simon Blackquill is definitely innocent or guilty, his progress toward 'rehabilitation' is why you have not suggested he be the target of an execution vote?

Date: 2017-03-16 09:26 pm (UTC)How?
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 09:35 pm (UTC)But I hope people will understand how important his presence is as a prosecutor in saving innocent lives during this criminal game show! I'm here to help him, and I will protect him, for justice!

Date: 2017-03-16 09:41 pm (UTC)Thank you, Mr. Fulbright.
For my next questions, please tell me, how did you vote in round one and round two?
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 11:14 pm (UTC)And I put in a vote for Cierra a little while ago for this third vote.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-16 11:31 pm (UTC)Next question: if you could name just one person who you believe is dangerous in the group right now, who would it be?
Ah, when I say 'dangerous', I mean someone who will go against the planned ways of voting on their own. Or would attempt physical violence against another contestant.

Date: 2017-03-20 06:57 pm (UTC)If what you say is true, it would certainly cast doubt over Mr. Rhys' reliability. Thank you for that, Mr. Fulbright.
My last question is: do you consider your promised prize for winning the game valuable? Do you intend to play to win it? If not, what goal will you try to achieve instead?

Date: 2017-03-21 03:15 am (UTC)Very well, Mr. Fulbright. Thank you for your words. I believe that's the end of all the questions I had in mind. I look forward to future cooperation with you in the solving in this case.

Tell me, Mr. Fulbright. Are you in the habit of wearing... make-up?

Date: 2017-03-21 03:27 am (UTC)--You know, as the detective, one learns to look for clues. Obvious and not-so-obvious.
But sometimes a clue comes in the form of a lack of something that should be there.
I saw you passed out in the corridor the other day. It seemed fatigue had gotten to you. I can only assume you'd had trouble sleeping. Is that the case?
