Events of Criminal Case
Jermaine became a suspect after the player and Carmen found his skin cells on an orc mask at the rugby bar. He was somewhat shocked to hear of Jackson's murder, then assumed the film was over as a result. He explained that his manager wanted him to transition to film, since he could not play rugby forever. Although it was a thrill for him to work with Jackson, he felt he could be a royal pain at times.
Jermaine was interrogated again about a message from the victim saying he could not get out that easy. He explained the victim was angry because he wanted to leave the film. This was because Jermaine got a sponsorship that would give him more money than working on the film. Not only that, but Jermaine felt it would give him more time for his off fun-season hobbies and raise awareness for food allergies.
At the end of the investigation, it was revealed that Jermaine was behind Jackson's murder. After denying involvement, Jermaine admitted he killed Jackson. Jackson had filmed him taking steroids and used the footage to blackmail him into staying in his movie. Afraid of losing his career as a sportsman if the footage was leaked, Jermaine bashed Jackson’s head with a maripi. Judge Adaku sentenced him to 25 years in jail.
