Rudy up on charges?

<< < (6/13) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
Toot unexpectedly does throw up pearls of wisdom and clarity of view look how he took Sanya to task for wrongly classifying him.

The first hurdle is swearing on the Bible, Toot is a creature of faerie and not the White God, so it is likely he would have to swear on a copy of the Pizza S’Press menu.

Toot wouldn't understand swearing to tell the truth...

Fae can't lie, but Toot can't even understand lying.

I'm not sure it could go to a jury trial. With Murphy's body missing, there's no physical evidence remaining to link Rudolph to the crime. No proof of her death, no forensic autopsy, no ballistics, nothing but one person's uncorroborated testimony. (If I remember correctly, Butters and Sanya showed up after the shot was fired, so they couldn't testify they saw Rudolph fire his gun.) With the power out, any nearby security cameras wouldn't be functional, unless they had a battery backup... but that assumes they didn't get blown out again by the magic unleashed in the battle against the giant.

And Harry was already under investigation for the robbery at Marcone's vault, by Rudolph. The defense attorney would have a field day discrediting Harry with that information.

As much as I'd like to see Rudolph up on murder charges, I don't see any realistic way for it to happen. (Though I love the image of Toot on the witness stand... 😆) The karma bus is bound to catch up with him somehow, but I don't think it will happen through the mortal justice system.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Rudolph is internal affairs someone was pulling strings to get him on that case, but it wouldn’t bear long-term scrutiny it was part of the pressure tactics on Harry and other key figures prior to the Titans arrival- I suspect Nameless, as a lawyer for the Mob he has the knowledge , but couldn’t use Marcone’s connections, too close to home.

Rudy is far more likely to face IA himself for his actions at the daycare, those were cops kids, and Bradley and the day care supervisor were witnesses.

Good catch! That could definitely happen... and it should.  ;D
