Events on Criminal Case
Bennett was first interrogated after the team found his digital camera, where a picture of the victim and himself was displaying on the screen. Bennett told the player that, on her last visit to the charity, he took an opportunity and asked the victim for a pictur and she accepted. Since he was studying to become a journalist, he thought about making a report on Cassidy's backstory, but they couldn't arrange a meeting.

After the team discovered a notebook on the victim's kitchen which had scribled text and a falied interview, Rachel decide to confront Bennett. The young man admited that, in the end, he could arrange the meeting with Cassidy and was excited to interview the celebrity. However, the answers to his questions were more suited for a paparazzi magazine rather than a newspaper article. When he tried to make the victim be more sincere, she shouted at him and kicked out of her kitchen. He was furious with Cassidy and decided to create a extensive critique about the victim, showing her that he's someone you wouldn't want to mess up with.

Despite his frustration towards the victim, Bennett was found innocent when Jett Underwood was found guilty of Cassidy's murder.
