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

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."

"You throw rocks until your subconscious determines which suspect is the actual culprit which should then break the bottle," Dale replied. "But yes, until one of the rocks hit the bottle."

"We have plenty," Dale replied with a grin. "And they are easy enough to recover."

Jo rubbed her hands together. "Let's get to it then."

Dale chuckled and tossed a rock to Jo. "Go for it."

Jo turned over her new rock, tracing her fingertips along the surface. "Leland Palmer" she said, picking another name more or less at random.

The rock flew through the air, connecting solidly with the bottle.

"...that took less time than I thought."

"Excellent job," Dale said. "And very good instincts."
