Inside Courtroom #2, 15:19pm, 10th December 2013.

An interesting set of witness accounts... I think we may have finally gotten to the bottom of this case. Can you summarise for us, Miss Fey?

Of course, your Honour:
Firstly we have the account of Dr. Afforme, guest of the DeLaude Hotel and occupier of the closest room to the Statesman's Suite.
He noticed a young gentleman walk past the bellboy at his door, and heard gunshots from the Suite within ten minutes of his wine being delivered; he heard the moment of the Ducall's deaths.
.
Correct. Our second witness is Miss Roberts, the receptionist of the Hotel; she recalled booking a room for Madame Da Silva and a 'M.M', a young gentleman who kept his identity under wraps.
She assumed he was a musician, correct?

Exactly; she also remarked that she did not see this younger gentleman around when the defendant was arrested by Detective Gumshoe.

She guessed it was publicity reasons, but it is more likely he was trying to avoid being implicated.

Our final witness is Mr. Ballaud, security detail for the DeLaude; he saw both the defendant and the mystery gentleman entering the Hotel earlier in the day

He also spotted Madame Da Silva disposing of the murder weapon during the evening, and spefically noted that she was wearing gloves at the time.


Thank you, both of you.

I believe it is time to call the defendant, Madame Elizé Da Silva, to the stand.
