I've got an idea based on the rights screwup...

The woman was unable to be arrested, because she couldn't be filed properly. She had burnt away her fingerprints prior to the crime, thus there was no way to connect her to the murder.

Did she claim that she had shot her husband by accident, and thus a criminal motive could n't be determined?

Were any crimes committed by either party besides the murder?

Was she let go because of double jeopardy?

Um...

The woman was never read her Miranda rights. It's possible the police witnessed the crime and just directly arrested her, and forgot to tell her her rights.

Alternatively

She was interrogated without an attorney, admitted to the crime but was set free because she wasn't given the chance to talk to her lawyer

Is figuring out the correct government loophole the only thing we need to do to solve the case as it stands?

did she understand their language?
"DUMBASS!" "I'd hit it" "Bear-sona~!" "Critical hits to the nads!" "What you're really asking is... "Will you please beat the **** out of me, Kanji?" "...I Gotta pee." ''Everydays great at your Junes~'' "You calling me a loser?"

Did the police let her out with the intention of bringing her back in at a later date?

Well, he still has to make the final theory, but yeah, this one is close to being solved now.

EDIT: Just saying, of course everyone else can solve as well.

Well, If we're waiting on me~

For some reason, The man faked his death some years before. his wife was taken into custody and Tried for murdering him, but was let go because he turned up alive and well. Then, at a later date, She actually shot and killed him. She was taken into Custody and then let go because she was already tried and cleared innocent for the exact same crime.

CASE SOLVED!
Enough details have been uncovered and brought into connection to declare this case as solved. Please wait a bit for
post-game summary.

YES. Except that she was sentenced to jail after the first trial, but that's a minor detail.

The woman was tried for the murder of her husband and had spent several years in jail.
A mistake, because the man had faked his death and in reality just run away.
So she decided he had to die for revenge.
Because the woman had already been punished for murdering her husband, there was no reason for the police to arrest her again,
now that she had really killed him.

Wonderful, truly wonderful.
Congratulations to you, Sir Zakeri, for finding the final clue for this case.
This one is tricky, and can be very hard to solve if none of the players knows the jeopardy law,
but fortunately this was not the case here.

Well, please grant me one or two hours of time,
then I will prepare the next riddle for you.
Until then, relax and have a tea.

Alright, my dear players.
It's classic time once again.
I could imagine that the next riddle may be solved almost immediatey, but we'll see about that.






Ninth Case: Thank You
A woman went to a bar and ordered a drink.
The barkeeper took out a gun and aimed directly at her.
The woman thanked him and left.

You know, one of those things behind the bar where you pull the trigger to squirt a drink into the glass...?

Eh, I'll let someone else take this.

Ah, that kind of thing. NO, as far as I know those riddles never use metaphors to describe anything, which would be the case then.

I know of a couple that are sorta metaphorical, but that's basically the big thing in the case, figuring out the metaphor.

Really? Maybe you should let us solve some of those one day. Though already knowing that we'll have to search for metaphors might kinda kill the challenge.
