By Fred Z (Dref) on Monday, March 07, 2005 - 01:41 am: Did the gun have a silencer on it? relevant? No to both By Simon Downham (Beroean) on Monday, March 07, 2005 - 03:12 pm: Was the gun worth the equivalent of 1200 GBP? Relevant? Yes to both | ||

That sounds like an expensive gun, even given my relative lack of experience with them... Did anything happen to the gun other than it being (presumably) taken from Tony? Relevant where he got it? Was there anything special about it that made it worth $2,500? | ||

Did anything happen to the gun other than it being (presumably) taken from Tony? Other than being entered into evidence, you mean? Yes, but not used for a crime or anything...guessing the rest of the puzzle will give you this piece, but not the other way around. Relevant where he got it? Not specifically, but method is slightly relevant Was there anything special about it that made it worth $2,500? Probably, but not relevant. | ||

Did he want the gun back? but the police did not like this idea and decided to buy the money off from him? Or did he keep 1200 quid as compensation for the gun? Or did the gun belong to someone else? Would the gun enter into the bank's property after the trial? | ||

Was it a real, working firearm? Had he inherited it? Stolen it? Bought it? Made it? Found it? Was it an antique? | ||

Was the gun broken or damaged while the police had it? Did they perform any actions on the gun, or do anything whatever with it besides store it as evidence? Was the gun made from common gun materials? Was it loaded with regular bullets? Was it connected to anything else in any way? | ||

I would think (assume, even) that a weapon used in the commission of a crime wouldn't ordinarily be returned to the perpetrator, so were there special circumstances that led to his recovering the gun? If so, were they legal? Did he have a special need for the gun? Was it his personal weapon? Did he return the remaining money when he got the gun back? | ||

If so, were they legal? When he finished serving the penalty for his crime (the extent of which is not particularly relevant), the gun was returned to him. Did he have a special need for the gun? no Was it his personal weapon? yes Did he return the remaining money when he got the gun back? no HINT: Concentrate on the legal process. | ||

Are there laws about guns which obliged them to return the weapon? Or laws about confiscated property worth more than a certain amount? Or laws about confiscated property in general? Such that the gubmint is obliged to reimburse the confiscatee? | ||

It was returned because it belonged to him Or laws about confiscated property worth more than a certain amount? No Or laws about confiscated property in general? Not exactly Such that the gubmint is obliged to reimburse the confiscatee? No, but this is along the right track. Explore | ||

Is/are there (a) law(s) about evidence being returned to the person from whom it was acquired? Intended to ensure that victims/innocent bystanders etc. don't lose their property when it's used as evidence? | ||

By Tim A. Dowd (Bodo) on Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - 06:28 pm: Is/are there (a) law(s) about evidence being returned to the person from whom it was acquired? Yes, in this case, there is, but that is a side point. The gun being returned has nothing to do with why Tony was charged with a lesser crime. Intended to ensure that victims/innocent bystanders etc. don't lose their property when it's used as evidence? Yes | ||

Is it relevant in which country Tony committed this crime? Is/was there a different category of crime (e. g. felony vs. misdemeanor) which Tony was charged with due to the difference? Is Tony's age relevant? His family? His ethnicity? Religion? Sexual orientation? Polydactyl state? Rhinohirsuteness? Health? | ||

By Tim A. Dowd (Bodo) on Friday, March 18, 2005 - 03:03 pm: Is it relevant in which country Tony committed this crime? Because it is a true story, yes. The Netherlands Is/was there a different category of crime (e. g. felony vs. misdemeanor) which Tony was charged with due to the difference? No Is Tony's age relevant? His family? His ethnicity? Religion? Sexual orientation? Polydactyl state? Rhinohirsuteness? Health? none of these...the same thing would have happened if he was a underage asian Catholic gay hipto--hip...oh you get the idea. |
