Chapter 3
Arrest the killer...

Amber Herrera: Margaret Hatchman, it's over. We know you killed Russell Crane!

Margaret Hatchman: Don't you have more important things to do instead of accussing me of a murder? How stupid.

Amber: Evidence don't lie Margaret. We found threads from your shirt on the scissors you used in the murder.

Margaret: Like many other people don't wear red clothes  . Your theory is absurd.

Amber: Then explain how did your ice tea ended up on Russell's suspenders?

Margaret: Who doesn't drink ice tea? Go find the real murderer instead of accusing me!

Amber: Mrs Hatchman we know it's you! Evidence don't lie Hatchman. We found flaxecine for your earrings on the threat you wrote to Russell. It's over!

Margaret (mad): DARN IT, I DID IT, BUT HE WAS GOING TO STEAL RACHEL FROM ME!

Margaret: ...

Amber: Who is Rachel? And why would he steal her from you?

Margeret (pissed): Rachel is a main actress in my movie, and Russell's girlfriend. I never approved of their relationship, but I decided to let it slide. Oh boy it was a mistake!

Amber: Why was it a mistake?

Margaret: Because I found out that Russell planned to propose to her and take her to LA, to continue her career there! I overheard him talking with my cameraman.

Margaret (angry): I just couldn't let him steal my biggest cash cow  ! I had to do something before it becomes too late!

Amber: So you stabbed him to death?

Margaret: I did, Rachel isn't going anywhere.

Amber: Suit yourself Hatchman! You are under arrest!

At the courtroom...

Judge Pierre: Margaret Hatchman, you are under arrest for the murder of Russell Crane. What do you have to say?

Margaret: I did it to for my movie, for Rachel's career. LA would ruin her talent. I made sure that she wouldn't leave Venusville!

Judge: That doesn't justify your actions Hatchman. For me, it looks like Rachel's talent wasn't the most important thing to you, it was money.

Judge: I hereby sentence you to 30 years in prison for Russell's murder!

Margaret (pissed): I'll let you have it. Rachel wasn't that big of a talent anyways...
