[Hints & Tips]

               In the 1st Degree

     Winning the game means obtaining a first degree murder conviction
     against James Tobin. It is important to note that there is more
     than one way to get the First Degree Verdict. The order in which
     the witnesses are interviewed and examined on the stand generally
     does not matter.

     Gather info, take notes, interview
     It is probably best to gather the information before interviewing
     the witnesses. Therefore, begin by looking at the Documents and
     Evidence. Then listen to and review the Tapes. Be sure to take
     notes in your Notebook. Lastly, interview the Witnesses. (Please
     note: Each time that you begin a new game, it is not necessary to
     reexamine the Evidence and Tapes if you have already collected
     the necessary information from them. It is important how you
     handle the witnesses and ask them questions).

     Preview questions asked
     When interviewing the witnesses, take note of the Sound Button
     before the questions. Clicking on this button allows you to
     preview the questions before actually asking them. Thus, you can
     hear the way the question will be asked. In order to ask the
     question, click on the text of the question itself.

     Each different line of questioning leads to different types of
     answers, so select carefully. You want to try to get as much
     information as possible.

     Get to know the witness
     While interviewing the Witnesses, please note that you must
     handle the witnesses properly in order to get the responses that
     you want from them. Each witness is different. So take some time
     to get to know them.

     Remember, keep track of all of your information. Treat the
     witnesses accordingly and try to get as much information as
     possible. This works to your advantage when you decide to go to
     trial. If you have not revealed the information, then this will
     affect you in trial.

     Going to trial...
     When you go to trial, please note that your Prediction of the
     Verdict and your Opening Statement affects the outcome of the
     trial. So, it is best to make the Prediction that you feel is
     likely due to the information that you gathered when interviewing
     the Witnesses.

     Good Luck and Happy Investigating!
