Rudy up on charges?

(1/13) > >>

RobReece:
I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.

Will the lack of Murphy's body be used to keep Rudy from being held accountable for her death?

Bradley wasn't a witness to the shooting,  Butters was, but I don't think he'd carry the same weight as a detective, especially given how he's viewed by his boss.

Secondary question,  does Waldo still work for the Coroner's Office, sorry, the Forensic Institute?

 Well, Rudy has to deal with his sanity first I'd think.  Body or not, there were witnesses to his shooting of Murphy.  However I wouldn't be shocked if he found a way to pin it on Harry.

Don't know if Waldo still works for the Coroner's Office, it hasn't been mentioned for a long time now.

vincentric:
There were no witnesses who saw the actual shooting except Harry and Rudolph. Butters and Sanya were approaching but didn't see the event. There may have been Winter fae that saw it, but that won't help Harry in a human court.

I have to go back and reread, but my impression was there were a lot of people around, panicked people but people.  At the same time if what you say is true, no witness, no body, nothing can be proved against Rudolph.  However Rudolph can charge Harry with battery and I guess even attempted murder, along with whatever he was going to charge both him and Murphy with at the beginning of Peace Talks.  You can bet though that Molly and Mab will see to it that their Knight is well represented in court.  I have a hunch that we will be seeing the lawyer in The Law again.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Yeah Nameless would offer pro bono work to Rudy, because I think Rudy was working for Cowl/Nameless all along. Nameless needed a source inside CPD separate from Marcone’s network, and Rudy was all that was left (Marcone could afford more competent cops).

I think that this is where Harry becomes suspicious of Nameless as having a long term vendetta about Harry, he finds out from Marcone that he is not funding Nameless on this, which means that Nameless was behind Rudy at least as far back as Changes, and that Nameless put Rudy on him for Peace Talks to distract Harry (Marcone had accepted wereguild and wouldn’t want to attract attention). This also shows Nameless involvement in Skin Game he likely let Tessa know that Deidre would have to sacrifice half, as Marcone’s lawyer he would know something was happening and realised the Vault was a way to Hades realm (Cowl of course released the Nimean Lion from that realm and maybe Blood in his Stool.

The Law and Fugitive give major clues that Cowl is Nameless. They also show that Harry is making him reckless and he could be coming to a falling out with Marcone, if Harry and Marcone would compare notes.

I suspect Nameless/Cowl gets the surprise of his life when he attacks Marcone only to find he is dealing with Namshiel.
