PROFILE PERSONALITIES:
-----------------------------------

All profiles, except the "basic characters", have open personality (determined by the player). Below is stated some points belonging to the characters, offering a base for your profiles.

The Aids of Prosecution and Defense are optional in case, that if someone wishes to come in, but missed the "Main Characters". But it doesn't matter, if you sign for the aids as well.

-----------------------------------

Souryuu Kaminogi: Is cocky, self-assured, and very skilled. He likes to tease and refers to beautiful women as his "kittens." When push comes to shove, however, he is very dedicated to putting criminals behind bars.

Charles Richter: Sub-ordinate and fanatic follower of Sigmund Snipe. He has a bit issues about his behavior, causing him to curse very loud and very much. His huge, muscular size often can make the walls tremble.

Marvin Grossberg: A mild-mannered man and, we have to assume, a skilled attorney. He's usually cheerful and well-meaning but also something of a pessimist.

Michael Baum: A man, whose life is a success and it can be seen from his face. Like a door-to-door salesman, he is ready to get his point through and even the defendant's mark don't stop him smiling with his shocking bright teeth.

Emma Tiara: Easily scared young woman. As a somewhat maybe a bit too rich, she hasn't fully learned the facts of life. Tends to 'forget' things.

Neil Russel: Hopes for the best of his life and is now stucked into a very low-class inn. The guy has attitude, though. Keeps his head up everywhere and tries to be happy to his life. Succeeds in most of the cases.

John Cartridge: Recently deployed young policeman. Anxious to his job as the highway patrol. He is highly intelligent man, hard to be messed up with.

Philip Groze: A man next door of Michael Baum. Tired to his job as a plumber and tired anyways with his life slapping him with both hands to both cheeks at same time. Has been noticed to have insomnia.

DT. Gumshoe: Gumshoe takes great pride in his work, and also in his "strong bond of trust" with the prosecutor's office. He's usually cheerful, is hardworking, and eager to please. But he also takes his job seriously, which causes conflict when he wants to help both sides of the case. Can sometimes be easily discouraged.

Marcus Chamberlain: Office-Rat from every inch. Walking around in the best suit, he has to offer with a suitcase. Is known to be extremely presice. Lives next door of Michael Baum.

Sigmund Snipe: Is known to be extremely hard and cold. Tends to 'lose it' sometimes, but very rarely. He doesn't let anything off his eyes, before he has squeezed every single piece of information. Often refers a court session as 'Another day at the battlefield', and personally enters to bid good luck for the defense.

Description:

Body was dug up about near a resting spot outskirts of L.A
Witness Emma Tiara was enroute to L.A. and stopped to take a break, when realized
an usual scent near the stop. She went to discover the origin of the smell and found a hand sticking out the ground-

Emma Tiara panicked and ran off screaming to the road. Same time officer John Cartridge was driving back to the precint and was stopped immediately, when saw a screaming woman in the middle of the road.

Further discoveries during the autopsy showed, that it was a body of Maria Stern.

Reason of Arrest:

Around 11.30 pm Neil Russel, an owner of a small pub 1 mile off the crime scene saw the defendant busting in to the pub dirty from sand carrying a shovel. He had minor injuries, that showed, he had ran into a fight. He had asked for help from the pub owner. Owner, Neil Russel had identified Michael Baum and was put under arrest for murder.

Motive for Crime:

Michael Baum and Maria Stern were lovers, but according to the neighbors, especially Philip Groze and Marcus Chamberlain, who both lived next door, they've got serious fights recently. Michael Baum had just last week won 2 million dollars in the lottery. Maria Stern seemingly wanted to have her cut from the prize, but Michael was reluctant to give it. They both have fights in, which Michael Baum seems to get hit by an unknown object to the head.

Possible progress of Crime:

In order to completely stop the case, it would seem, that Michael and Maria drove in to the resting spot and while Maria was away, Michael pulled out the gun and shot her three times burying her afterwards with the shovel in his trunk. He then panicked himself after burying the body and ran off to Neil Russel's inn. Neil Russel lend him a car to get back home.
