12th arrest | video | while were at it, let's be honest

[thiswallinside]

This is Det-- Acting Chief Kate Beckett speaking on behalf of the police department. On the afternoon of March 16, Mr. Harold Saxon, alias The Master, was arrested on charges of murder.

He has been released from custody this morning at 8:00am. He is cleared of all charges after questioning has lead us to no substantial evidence in his involvement of either the organ case or the rash of murders a few weeks ago. His activities don't constitute exactly as breaking any laws, as he didn't commit cannibalism and his state at the time of apprehension could not be qualified as lucid. However, he was in a lucid state at the time of release.

We are unable to give more detail, as the case is still under investigation, however we have gained intel and information will be released as we become confident the suspects we do have are verifiable. Questions after his whereabouts or doings will not be entertained, as well as details about the case ongoing. If anyone has any tips, please make use of the police hotline.

In addition, I would like to apologize to the victims of the recent cases and the City at large for our management of the case as a whole. I can't say enough how heinous and unforgivable the crimes that have been perpetrated on those of you who have fallen victim to them are, and all of us at the police department have you in our thoughts. Moving forward, we will be implementing and putting into place regulations and programs to mitigate what crime we can follow through the course of justice. This is in addition to the continuing investigation of these crimes.

I hear rumors there used to be an escort service. We're going to be implementing it again, in order to try to prevent this garbage from happening again. You're all expected to assist and yes I'll be working on it as well. The lines are set up to request an escort and they will all forward to your devices. First person available that sees it will call it and go to the site to assist. If any of you have suggestions on it, speak up and we'll see what we can do.

Anybody got any intel on this Curse Brigade? We can use all the help we can get; I don't see why we can't do a little affiliation.

I'd like you all to welcome a new member to the force: Dean Winchester. He's experienced in paranormal investigations and I'm positive he'll be useful to this department. He's being added to the Special Assault Unit, so Ken, you'll have a little help in that department now.


[ooc: To move the Master along to full playability, here is his release notice! I hope this is acceptable; if anyone requires changes, toss me a PM and I'll get right to it.]

I still can't believe you're lettin' that bastard walk.

[Emphasis on the 'you're', Beckett, because Ray wants no part in this decision to release the Master.]

Maybe if we'd been more successful with the arrest and the report to the public, we wouldn't have to worry about this right now.

[Don't mistake, she's counting on his anger.]

[old-lady-sukima.livejournal.com]

... ahh. Finally, I have something to do.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Pardon...?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

Hmph. A day wasted for nothing!

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Are there plans in place to have the Master under surveillance?

[Filter]

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

We'll put what manpower we have toward it. His network posts will be watched but unfortunately I assume we're not going to find anything there. Do you have any suggestions?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

So all that work for nothing. Just fucking great.

The help's appreciated, but why SA if he's good in paranormal crap?

police filter

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

It was sloppy work for nothing. Next time, we make sure of anything before we bring anyone in.

But he did remove flesh from the bones with his teeth and/or gnawed on the bones of at least one of the victims. Doesn't that constitute as cannibalism?

[ooc: Like I said... semantics.]

voice ][ police filter

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

As it seems the majority defines it, cannibalism is the practice of eating the flesh of your own kind. Mr. Saxon was witnessed eating the flesh of a human and as pained as I am to say it, because he is not human, it doesn't apply.

I'm sorry I weren't much help this weekend.

Um...did I miss the findin' intel part?

[ooc: In other news, thank you. :)]

[Police Filter]

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Chris. I was told the situation.

Not...exactly. He wasn't much use to us as far as anything coherent, unfortunately.

[ooc: Been too long, we want our Harold back -- also, watching the series right now /smushes Chris FOREVER.]

[quakessuck.livejournal.com]

I was worried you wouldn't be able to generate enough evidence against Mr. Saxon to hold him. I'm not sure we've met, Chief Beckett. I am Miles Edgeworth.

Could you illustrate this "course of justice" you're suggesting?

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

As was I. Good to meet you, Mr. Edgeworth.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can. The course ends once we get to the point where in most worlds we'd send off the evidence to the DA to put together a case. Here; I don't know that the people are willing to do their part in establishing the basis of which would bring them the justice they're crying for. Can't say I blame them, entirely.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I suppose it was too much to hope there would be any sort of justice in a place like this.

No offense to you, personally, Kate, I just... should know better than get my hopes up anymore.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

We're still trying, Mara. I'm so sorry that we couldn't do more with that we had.

Everyone should be allowed some hope. I wanted to give that to you. You deserved it.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

And this is why humans with no experience with shit like this shouldn't be left to do anything.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Sweetheart, I kill crazy weird shit all the time and I'm 100% human so I hope you're not implying that humans can't do that sort of job.

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

We do what we can; cops don't stop being cops because of a different location. I'm sorry you feel this way.

[Police Filter]

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

I recommend approaching the Curse Brigade through Lockon Stratos. I've spoken with him in the past.

Is there protocol for replying to the negative reactions the Master's release is encouraging?

[Police Filter]

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks for the advice Justin. I'll look into it.

There isn't much protocol for anything. The people are angry, and we failed; they have a right to attack us. I won't be surprised if this isn't the end of it. Be earnest, it's what they deserve.

[no comment here but well noted~]

Police Filter || You have to ask? It's DEAN

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

An escort service [insert eyebrow waggling and inappropriate grinning here] Sounds like fun.

Thank you, Detective Beckett.

As far as this sick fuck, are you sure I can't use a flame thrower on him? He's not human and he's eating people.

Police Filter

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, cute.

Protocol tossed aside, I'd be three steps ahead of you, Winchester.

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Evidence, the police representative had said. A lot of evidence, what else? - And now, would you look at this...

[cuffyoutwice.livejournal.com]

A lot of our evidence was, unfortunately, circumstantial.
