Blood and Glory

Blood and Glory (Case #42) is the forty-second case of the game and the first in the Maple Heights district.

Case Background
The victim was a man called Jerry Bigwall, who was found face down in a cake, with a river of blood flowing down from his mouth. The killer was Mitchell Westville.

Mitchell killed Jerry because Jerry got him drunk one night, thus revealing that his family was broke, as well as Jerry recording him saying that. Mitchell did not want his family name to get spoiled as the people in Maple Heights would have regarded him with disdain if they had known the truth, and in spite that manslaughter is a punishable offense throughout Grimsborough, Westville believes a manslaughter is a lesser crime in Maple Heights.

To arrest Mitchell (after everything pointed to him), Jones disguised himself as Jerry and forced Mitchell to accept the truth regarding Jerry's murder. After Mitchell admitted that he killed Jerry with razor blades rigged in the cake, Jones revealed himself to him and then brought Mitchell to the court, where Judge Hall tried Mitchell for manslaughter and sentenced him to life in jail.
