Of course we did. I may be a great detective who comes in to save the day, but the collaborative efforts of the many to find the truth is nothing to sneeze at.
My investigations have caused many to be sent to the chaise, so I don't claim to have any moral high ground in the matter, but... the inclusion of an additional, innocent party is an absurdity on top of the usual barbarism.
Criminals go to the gallows, in our grand legal system. It is a ruthless, streamlined process. This seems...gladiatorial. As if its for someone else's entertainment.
"The Waltz of Their Battlefield". Or something of the like, perhaps. Two soldiers in the ballroom, fighting fiercely...ah, what an image it brings, but the true tragedy of it rather weighs heavily on the heart.

I do thank you, Lieutenant. Though it would not have been for the efforts of others to provide the clues we needed.

...I am not looking forward to tomorrow, however. I do not have high hopes they will be able to stop the process that we saw last week.

By the by, have you gotten someone to name your case yet? I can't have all the fun.
no subject
... I haven't, yet. Did you want to take a crack at it?

It sounds a little dramatic, don't you think? Simple is usually best.
no subject
If it so be it... [he respects you, kim, so JUST THIS ONCE! HMPH] "Battlefield Waltz" for shortening, perhaps?
