HELLO. YOU ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING A MODEL PI-3080 REMOTE CONTROL INTERROGATION UNIT, DESIGNED FOR SAFE, UNENCUMBERED INTERROGATION OF CRIMINALS AND FELONS.
MODEL NO.: 890-041

DAILY INTERVIEW #7
SUSPECT NAME: CLARK PATTERSON
CONVICTIONS: MURDER, MANSLAUGHTER, RESISTING ARREST
VERDICT STATUS: PROVEN GUILTY
SENTENCE: 45 YEARS PRISONTIME, 15 YEARS PUBLIC/PRIVATE SERVITUDE
ADDITIONAL NOTES: CLARK PATTERSON, AGE 37, HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY IN COURT OF THE MURDER OF SIR MARKUS WILMORE, WHOSE DEMISE WAS REPORTED THREE WEEKS AGO WITHIN THE WILMORE MANOR DURING A PARTY MEANT TO COMMEMORATE HIS RECENT SUCCESSFUL VENTURES OVERSEAS WITH HIS COMPANY "SYNCO." YOU ARE BEING TASKED TO INTERROGATE MR. PATTERSON TO DETERMINE HIS MOTIVES SO WE CAN REPORT TO HIGHER UPS, NEWS STATIONS, AND MR. WILMORE'S EXTENDED FAMILY & COWORKERS.
THE SUSPECT IS IN THE ROOM AWAITING INTERROGATION. YOU MAY BEGIN QUESTIONING WHEN YOU ARE READY.
[[CLICK HERE TO BEGIN]]
</div>
<div class="remote"> NOTE: THE FIRST FEW MESSAGES HAVE BEEN PRE-WRITTEN TO START THE CONVERSATION FOR YOU. ONCE THESE INTRODUCTORY MESSAGES HAVE BEEN DELIVERED AND THE SUSPECT'S ANSWERS RECEIVED, YOU MAY CHOOSE YOUR OWN STATEMENTS AND COMMENCE INTERROGATION.
"Hello. Welcome to the Wilmore police station. You have been found guilty of the murder of -MARKUS WILMORE- and have been brought here for questioning. Our detective will ask you questions about your reasoning and method behind your actions. Please respond to this message with a neutral statement in order to show that you are capable of receiving our communications and of responding to them in kind."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: What are you? Where is the detective? I haven't seen a real person in almost a week! This is ridiculous, I want to speak to a real human being! Not some impassionate machine!"
</div>
<div class="remote">
JUDGING FROM BODY MOTIONS AND VOLUME OF VOICE, THE SUSPECT IS UNRULY AND WILL NOT EASILY COOPERATE. IT IS ADVISED THAT YOU CHOOSE YOUR RESPONSES CAREFULLY.
"Please refrain from any aggressive behavior or response. Dissociation with social ettiquete is poor interrogation practice and may be cause for a more severe prison sentence."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: I've been encased in a concrete shell for a week - hell, maybe longer - and I'm going to have to put up with it for another several years, and I can't even get the comfort of holding a conversation with real people. Ugh.
Fine. Yes, I can hear your messages, and I can respond in kind."
</div>
<div class="remote">
"Thank you for your cooperation. Continue with this more neutral behavior, and we will be able to finish this interrogation more efficiently. Now, please respond to our questions."
YOU MAY NOW COMMENCE THE QUESTIONING. REMEMBER THAT WE MUST PARSE HIS MOTIVE FOR MURDER. HE WILL LIKELY NOT GIVE A CONCLUSIVE ANSWER STRAIGHT AWAY, AS SUSPECTS IN CRIME INVESTIGATIONS ARE OFTEN UNTRUSTWORTHY AND BIASED. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS OF PARTICULARLY PERSONAL NOTE.
PLEASE SELECT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS:
1. [[ASK ABOUT THE CHOICE OF MURDER WEAPON]]
2. [[ASK ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE VICTIM]]
3. [[ASK ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL STATUS BEFORE COMMITING THE CRIME]]
4. [[ASK ABOUT THE REASON FOR TIMING IT DURING A HIGHLY POPULATED PARTY]]
</div><div class="remote">
-ASK ABOUT THE MURDER WEAPON
"When the body was first reported, onlookers noted a large number of stab wounds in the chest, as well as a sparse few on the limbs. Further investigation by coroners and law enforcement officers noted that they appeared to be created with a large variety of implements. Implements that were found that held blood marks included a couple broken shards of glass, a salad fork, and a snapped wooden walking stick. However, many of the wounds found on the body do not match these items. What other implements did you use, and why did you use so many instead of just committing to one?"
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: Wha... What? I'm sorry, I thought this was about why I killed him. I stabbed him with random objects because those were what I had access to. I don't remember every single little thing I used, how would I?
</div>
<div class="remote">
THESE ANSWERS ARE VAGUE AND HARDLY INFORMATIVE. IT WOULD BE WISE TO PRESS FURTHER.
[[CONTINUE TO ASK ABOUT THE WEAPONS]]
[[ASK ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE VICTIM]]
[[ASK ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL STATUS BEFORE COMMITING THE CRIME]]
[[ASK ABOUT THE REASON FOR TIMING IT DURING A HIGHLY POPULATED PARTY]]
</div><div class="remote">
-ASK ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP TO THE VICTIM
"How would you describe your relationship with the victim up to the moment you killed him?"
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: Relationship? I doubt that mollusk would know what a relationship was if it was right in front of him. His head was in the god damned clouds 24/7. It's amazing he invested so much money into the businesses in a town that he couldn't bother looking at.
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT CLEARLY LOST TRACK OF THE CONVERSATION, AND REFUSED TO FULLY ANSWER THE QUESTION IN THE PROCESS. CONTINUING TO INVESTIGATE THIS RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED SO POORLY WOULD BE ADVISABLE.
[[CONTINUE TO ASK ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP]]
[[ASK ABOUT THE CHOICE OF MURDER WEAPON]]
[[ASK ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL STATUS BEFORE COMMITING THE CRIME]]
[[ASK ABOUT THE REASON FOR TIMING IT DURING A HIGHLY POPULATED PARTY]]
</div><div class="remote">
-ASK ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL STATUS BEFORE COMMITTING THE CRIME
"The records we have collected detailing your identity indicate that you may have been experiencing monetary conflicts that could have had a direct influence on your actions. Please detail your financial standing before you committed the crime."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: What does that... sigh. What I can say for sure is that money was tight for the last year. Ever since Synco started all those scattered, nonsensical infrastructure projects, keeping a job has been hell. No business can last so much as a couple months without being bought out and turned into another computer-viewing-gallery. And God forbid you find a distaste with how they do things. God... fucking forbid you disagree with Synco and Mr. Wilmore.
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT HAS GIVEN A DESCRIPTIVE, ALBEIT OVERLY CONVOLUTED RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION. THERE IS LITTLE REASON TO PRESS ON WITH THIS SUBJECT. PLEASE SELECT ANOTHER QUESTION.
[[ASK ABOUT THE MURDER WEAPON]]
[[ASK HIM HOW HE WAS CONNECTED TO THE VICTIM]]
[[ASK HIM WHY HE ATTACKED IN SUCH A POPULATED ENVIRONMENT]]
</div><div class="remote">
-ASK ABOUT THE REASON FOR TIMING IT DURING A HIGHLY POPULATED PARTY
"One of the most perplexing elements of your actions is the time when you performed them. Mr. Wilmore's party was host to thousands of people, including close relatives, shareholders, and coworkers. What motivated you to attack with so many potential witnesses around?"
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: It's not like I... wanted to attack him in full view of every single one of his business assets. I just wanted to attack him, and that's where I knew he was. If I had planned this whole thing out I probably wouldn't be here. I'm no formal hitman, I just had a conviction to put an end to Wilmore's escapades.
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT HAS PROVIDED A RESPONSE, BUT IT'S LACKING IN INFORMATION. HE COULD NOT HAVE SIMPLY DECIDED TO STRIKE ON IMPULSE. FURTHER QUESTIONING TO PARSE MORE DETAILS IS ADVISED.
[[ASK ABOUT FURTHER DETAILS OF THE ATTACK]]
[[ASK ABOUT THE CHOICE OF MURDER WEAPON]]
[[ASK HIM HOW HE WAS CONNECTED TO THE VICTIM]]
[[ASK ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL STATUS BEFORE COMMITING THE CRIME]]
</div><div class="remote">
"The response you have given has been determined as too vague to be of value. Please list as many of the sharp implements used as you can remember and tell us why you used so many."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: For Christ's sake, this is how this is gonna go... a couple shards of glass, a fork, and a broken walking stick. If I remembered the others, I'd tell you.
As for why... I don't know, it was impulse. A reaction. I decided on a whim! I'm not a serial killer, it's not like I planned out the entire process of stabbing a snob to death! What do you think I am? What do you want from me?
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT IS NOW ACTING UNRULY AGAIN, AND HAS RESORTED TO ASKING QUESTIONS OF HIS OWN. THIS IS AGAINST PROPER INTERROGATION CONDUCT. SUSPECTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ASK THEIR OWN QUESTIONS DURING A POLICE INTERROGATION. PROCEED WITH THE INTERROGATION AS NORMAL. PRESS 1 TO CONTINUE PRESSING ON ABOUT THE WEAPONS.

"Please tell us more about your choice of murder weapons."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: What else do you want from me? I've told you everything I can! I'm not some methodical killer! I'm a normal man!
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT IS ACTING UNCOOPERATIVE. PLEASE CONTINUE QUESTIONING.
[[CONTINUE QUESTIONING]]
</div><div class="remote">
-CONTINUE TO ASK ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP
"Your relationship with Mr. Wilmore has yet to be fully described. Please continue describing how you knew him in detail."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: He... was someone who I didn't like the methods of, what else can I say? I've told you everything about it that I can!
</div>
<div class="remote">
HE STILL REFUSES TO COOPERATE. CONTINUE WITH THE QUESTIONING. HE CANNOT WITHOLD HIS TRUE BELIEFS FOREVER.

-ASK ABOUT THE MURDER WEAPON
"When the body was reported, it was noted that there were numerous stab wounds that appeared to be made by several different objects. Coroners and officers on the scene were able to identify a few weapons, including a broken walking stick and a couple shards of glass, but little else was found. Please go into detail on the weapons you used and your reason for using so many."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: What? The murder weapons? Why not just ask... okay, well, I don't remember most of the weapons I used. Everything happened in a frenzy. All I know is I had to make decisions. I don't know what or why or how or... why? Why not just get to the point?
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT IS ACCTING WITH SUSPICION TOWARDS YOUR QUESTIONS. THIS IS A SIGN OF A LACK OF TRUST AND COULD BE PROBLEMATIC FOR GETTING MORE ANSWERS OUT OF HIM. CONTINUE TO ASK WITH CONFIDIENCE.
[[PRESS ON]]<div class="remote">
-ASK HIM HOW HE WAS CONNECTED TO THE VICTIM
"All murderers know the people they kill and kill with reason. You are a murderer, so this applies to you as well. How well did you know Mr. Wilmore before the night of the act?"
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: How well did I... I hardly knew him. I just knew that I hated what he was doing to this town. I didn't know him as a friend or an enemy. I just knew he was there. What the hell is all of this about killing with reason and deeper motive? This is nonsense, I want to talk with someone else! I want to talk with someone who makes sense!
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT IS GETTING INSURGENT, AND IS REFUSING TO SIMPLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. IT IS ADVISABLE TO SIMPLY KEEP ASKING UNTIL HE GIVES YOU THE ANSWERS WE SEEK.
[[PRESS FURTHER]]
</div>
<div class="remote">
-ASK HIM WHY HE ATTACKED IN SUCH A POPULATED ENVIRONMENT
"One notable element of your actions is that you performed them under very bold circumstances. Thousands of people were present at the party, including many who could not have held any motive to attack Mr. Wilmore. How come you did not wait until he was not surrounded by possible witnesses?"
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: Was I supposed to just... know when to strike? It's not like I knew his schedule. I just knew he was around in that moment. I don't know what else to say, I simply acted when I saw a chance to.
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT IS GIVING YOU VERY FEW DETAILS TO WORK WITH. IT IS UNCERTAIN WHAT HE COULD WANT TO HIDE UNDER HIS CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES. THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TO ASK.
[[ASK MORE]]
</div><div class="remote">
-CONTINUE QUESTIONING
"Your answers are inadequate. Please give us more information."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: I've told it all! I don't know what else there is to say! What am I missing here?
</div>
<div class="remote">
"Your answers are inadequate. Please give us more information."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: I... don't have answers. I don't have info. I don't have agency... I don't have anything here.
</div>
<div class="remote">
"You are not answering our questions. Cooperation is key to a successful interrogation. If you continue this behavior, you will be punished."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: ...I don't want to talk anymore.
</div>
<div class="remote">
"You are being uncooperative. Please cease this behavior."
</div>

"Please give us further details. Your answers have been vague, and we would like to know as much as possible."
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: I... don't know what you want from me. I'm not some trained professional, I'm lucky to have even made it in... how much do you think there was to it? I can't tell you anything else. Just...
</div>
<div class="remote">
THE SUSPECT STILL REFUSES TO EXPAND UPON THE DETAILS. PROCEED WITH FURTHER QUESTIONING.
[[CONTINUE QUESTIONING]]
</div> <div class="remote">
-ASK ABOUT FURTHER DETAILS OF THE ATTACK
"Your response is a good start, but we would like to know more about why you chose to attack when you did. Were there any other motivators or influences that you have not mentioned?"
</div>
<div class="culprit">
PATTERSON: ...What? If there were other motivators, why would I not mention them? I've told you everything there is to it. I decided to attack during the party because it was a point in time where I knew where he was and what he was doing. What could I add to that?
</div>
<div class="remote">
HE IS STILL NOT TELLING US OTHER INFORMATION. WE MUST PRESS HIM FURTHER TO FIND OUT MORE.

"Please continue to expand upon your reasoning behind your actions. There is more that we would like to know."

THE SUSPECT IS WITHOLDING VITAL DATA. PROCEED TO CONTINUE QUESTIONING.
[[CONTINUE QUESTIONING]]
</div>NOTE:
THE INTERROGATION HAS BEEN CUT SHORT. WITH THE PRESENCE OF AN UNCOOPERATIVE SUSPECT AND HARDLY ANY INFORMATION GLEANED, THE COMMISSIONER HAS DECIDED TO TERMINATE THIS INTERACTION FOR THE MOMENT. SUBJECT PATTERSON WILL BE DETAINED IN THIS FACILITY, WHERE HE WILL CONTINUE TO BE QUESTIONED UNTIL WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN ADEQUATE REPORT OF THE EVENTS OF THE MURDER OF MR. WILMORE.
PLEASE LOG OFF OF THE REMOTE CONTROL INTERROGATION UNIT AND CLOCK OUT FOR THE NIGHT.
YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA WEBMAIL WHEN THE NEXT INTERROGATION IS SCHEDULED.
