In the Dead of Night

In the Dead of Night (Case #18) is the eighteenth case of the game.

Case Background
The victim was a high schooler named Freddy Stewart, who was found lying dead against a tree in Cooper Park during a night robbery in the Greene Mansion.

The killer was a middle schooler named Julian Ramis, who was Freddy's friend. He accidentally killed Freddy with the stolen crossbow during the celebration of the successful robbery of the Greene Mansion at Cooper Park. The crossbow had accidently fired as it was rusty.

Since participating in a robbery was considered as a felony, Julian Ramis, though the murder was accidental, was to report to the Grimsborough Juvenile Detention Center for 1 year. Had Julian refused to conduct the robbery, no charges would have been pressed against him.
