Criminal Justice (As Taught By A Criminal) - Period 3 - Monday 04/21

[not-an-answer.livejournal.com]

After receiving a very odd phone call that morning from someone claiming to be stuck keeping a messiah from dying, Renee found herself in the school.

Teaching.

At least she wasn't doing it alone.

"Good morning class," Dale said stepping forward and adjusting his tie. "I am Special Agent Dale Cooper and this is my colleague Detective Renee Montoya. For those of you who are not familiar with either one of use we are members of the local law enforcement community and we are here today to walk you through your final exam."

Renee nodded toward the class, hands clasped behind her back at attention. "I'm not sure what exactly you've been taught up until now, but today we'll be testing you one any skills you hopefully would pick up in a class like this."

If it wasn't taught by a criminal, most likely.

"We'll be giving you an actual case," Dale said leaning against the desk. "One that I am intimately familiar with. Your job is to use the deductive method we provide you to identify the culprit."

"When traditional methods of finding evidence there are other..." Renee looked over at Cooper. "Less conventional ways to solve the case. Controlled meditation in my case."

"In my case it involves a subconsciously gained knowledge of a deductive technique involving mind-body coordination operating hand in hand with the deepest level of intuition," Dale said without skipping a beat. "But first let's go over the crime data. Victim is one Laura Palmer. Murdered and left for dead on the shores of Twin Peaks. Autopsy found that she had sex with two men before she was murdered and her tox screen showed signs of alcohol and cocaine. Our list of suspects include:

Leo Johnson: Cocaine dealer with a nasty temper. Supplied the victim with cocaine and involved her in drug trafficking
Jacque Renault: Leo's partner and blackjack dealer at the casino/brothel where the victim worked part time.
Bobby Briggs: The victim's boyfriend who has a bad attitude and seems to be involved with the local drug trade.
James Hurley: The victim's secret boyfriend who is currently dating the victim's best friend.
Donna Hayward: Laura Palmer's best friend. Also now dating her secret boyfriend.
Leland Palmer: The victim's distraught father. Murdered Jacque Renault while insane with grief.
Sara Palmer: The vicitm's mother. Became unhinged mentally after the murder of her daughter."

Looking away for a moment, Renee just nodded as the suspects were listed.

"Now you'll choose which method you want to use in an attempt to figure out the case." She might have smirked just a little about it. "Good luck."

Yeah, Annette knew Mr. Cooper alright, which was why she was slinking lower in her seat, trying to appear near nonexistent

Follow Agent Cooper's Technique

Dale then placed a bucket of rocks on the desk and pointed at a bottle at the end of the classroom. "By way of explaining what we're about to do, I'm going to first talk to you a little bit about the country called Tibet. An extremely spiritual country, for centuries the leader of Tibet has been known as the Dalai Lama. In 1950, Communist China invaded Tibet and while leaving the Dalai Lama nominally in charge, they in fact seized control of the entire country. In 1959, after a Tibetan uprising against the Chinese, the Dalai Lama was forced to flee to India for his life, and has lived in exile ever since. Following a dream I had three years ago, I have become deeply moved by the plight of the Tibetan people, and have been filled with a desire to help them. I also awoke from the same dream realizing that I had subconsciously gained knowledge of a deductive technique, involving mind-body coordination operating hand-in-hand with the deepest level of intuition."

Picking up a rock, Dale held it up for everyone to see. "What each of you will do is pick up a rock, commune with it and then state one of the names of the suspects to the rock. You will then throw the rock at the bottle to see if your instincts regarding the case are true and if truly does solve the murder of Laura Palmer."

Okay so there was meditation, which could go wrong if his powers freaked out on him, or there was throwing rocks.

Peter picked throwing rocks.

"Any particular way to commune with them?" he asked. Hey, he'd heard stranger things since coming to Fandom.

Dale picked up a rock and tossed it a little in the air to check its weight. "Probably the best way for me to describe it would be the way you try to connect with a golf ball before you even swing a club. You pick it up and you examine it. Get a feel for it," he said gazing at the rock. "And when you feel a connection, then you speak to the rock. Tell it the name and try to project the question at hand. And then?"

Dale threw the rock which bounced off the wall and landed three feet short of the bottle. "You toss it."

Rocks. Jo could throw rocks. Even though she'd never done any communing with them before.

Re: Follow Agent Cooper's Technique

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Step up and find the culprit," Dale said offering Jo a rock.

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Wee, rock throwing! She really had no idea who killed this lady but, hey, right or wrong she still got to throw rocks.

Meg enjoyed the simple things in life.

Dean stared. "You're kidding right?"

The description of Dale's technique was interesting, so there was John, looking at the rocks. He wasn't quite sure how to commune, but he'd give it a shot. "So, do we talk to the rocks or think at them?"

Z picked up a rock and asked a vital question: "Are you for real?"

Sora looked at the rock oddly and then back up at Dale. "Uhh... I guess I don't get what rocks have to do with Lhamas...." He paused a moment. "I guess they do get rocks stuck in their hooves?"

Kabuto gave Dale a very flat look.

"Commune. With the rock."

"This isn't something I suggest you try to use all the time," Renee said, sitting down on the floor and going into lotus position.

She smiled faintly. "It's called going inside. Just look inside and see."

Re: Follow Detective Montoya's Technique

Michael decided that looked like a better idea than throwing rocks at bottles, so he wandered over and sat down.

Time to see how much he'd picked up from his meditation lessons.

Re: Follow Detective Montoya's Technique

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette has meditated once in her life. Ino taught her. But she was going to do it now, again, just in case... you know, she wasn't a terribly great fan of rocks. If one went astray...

So there she was, lotus position on the floor.

Chad was still confused as to why the method of just busting into places until you found the right person (because people showed interesting colours when you did that, really) wasn't an option (hey, it worked well last time; Aizen had gotten away but they did find out he was behind everything...), so he figured he would attempt to go about this one, settling down and meditating first on clearing his confusion, before settling in to look inside and see.

Re: Follow Detective Montoya's Technique

[key-of-heart.livejournal.com]

Sora didn't want to go inside. He knew what was there, and he had a feeling who he found would probably have some choice words for him. "Uhh, can't we look outside? That's where the criminal would be right?"

Re: Follow Detective Montoya's Technique

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"How about actually looking over your facts and making a reasonable hypothesis?" Kabuto asked dryly. He was less than impressed by their choices of methods.
