Chapter 7
The prisoner who refused to give his real name stayed silent on the ride to the police station. By the time they arrived his lawyer was already there. This lawyer was Lindsay Mcdonald from Wofram and Hart. Kate hated this law firm, they always seemed to be defending the worst of the worst, as log as they could pay handsomely. But for some reason they seemed to be defending Caligo pro bono. After some time with his lawyer Caligo agreed to talk to detective Lockley with Lindsay present.
Kate; What is your real name?
Caligo: Internuntius Caligo. I am but a messenger for evil, a prophet for Lord Satan.
Kate: Fine, we can charge you under this name. Did Satan tell you to murder that girl?
Caligo: No. I did not murder Marcie.
Kate; What, you came across her dead body and decided to carve that symbol into her corpse?
Caligo: No. Marcie took her own life. I saw her slit her own throat.
Kate: And you did nothing to stop her?
Lindsay: Marcie Ross was 18, my client was under no legal obligation to stop her suicide.
Kate: How do you explain his desecrating her corpse?
Caligo: Marcie confided in me her plans to die. She didn't want her tumor to eat at her brain. Marcie also wanted to honor our God, I agreed to her request.
Kate: You're God?
Lindsay: Marcie Ross was a Satanist, which is protected under the first amendment. My client was merely honoring her religious custom, carving a pentagram into her corpse, which Buffy Summers interrupted.
Kate: A little tip, in case you're going for an insanity plea. Even if you're successful, you'll be in an institution longer than you would've been in prison. But hey, that's one way to avoid the death penalty.
Lindsay: The burden proof is entirely on your side to prove guilt. Your sole witness never saw my client allegedly slit Marcie's throat. In short you have nowhere near enough evidence to put my client in prison.
