Story description
Three weeks to trial. A client who says he is innocent. A plea offer that ends on Friday.
Reasonable Doubt is an interactive legal thriller. You are a public defender with a murder case, a confident prosecution and a press that has already decided.
Prepare, then try it
- Read the discovery, interview witnesses, visit scenes and challenge the forensics.
- Decide which story to tell the jury, and what to let go.
- Play out the trial itself: jury selection, openings, cross-examinations, objections and closings.
Tess Calloway, your investigator, sees what does not fit. Marcus Dray prosecutes and does not like to lose. Judge Harriet Osei keeps the room strictly even. Whether Elias is innocent, and who really killed his landlord, is different every time you play. You may not be sure until the very end.
A verdict you earned
The outcome depends on what you prepared and how you performed. Law is shown with plausible detail, never as a lecture, and violence stays off the page.
The deal expires on Friday. What do you tell Elias?
Characters
The 23-year-old client accused of murdering his landlord. Guarded, frightened and stubborn. What he leaves out of his account differs in every playthrough.
The defense investigator, a former police officer with a good eye for what does not fit. Blunt and loyal.
The lead prosecutor. Polished and fair, but unwilling to lose.
The presiding judge: dry, strict and scrupulously even-handed.
