This is the description for the 3 case bundle, the games are also available separate.
"You are the new hot shot Assistant D.A. and the pressure is on.
You must gather the evidence (interrogate witnesses, analyze blood samples, order fingerprints, review police reports, study legal precedents and a police line up) and argue your case in court.
If you do your job, the criminals go to the state penitentiary and you're rewarded with a swift promotion.
Mess up and they're back on the street. It's up to you!"
D.A. Pursuit of Justice, combines high quality entertainment with logic-based
gameplay to re-create the real-life experiences of an actual District
Attorney.
D.A. Pursuit of Justice is designed as a series of individual criminal
cases to prepare and try in court.
Each one is a completely new challenge.
To prepare a case, you decide which locations you want to visit. Shifting
through police reports, evidence, witness interrogations, and autopsy
reports, you build your case.
Physical evidence may be sent to the crime lab, and you help interpret
test results such as fingerprint matching, imprint and handwriting analysis,
to name a few.
Eyewitnesses attempt to identify suspects in a line up and prison informants
step forward with inside information regarding the current case.
Each element must be organized in a uniquely designed interface,
the Case Constructor, in such a way that the particular relevance of each
selected piece of evidence is demonstrated.
You'll need to prove that the defendant was the one who committed the
crime (the Case for the Identity and that each aspect of the crime occurred
(the Case for the Criminal Act) before you proceed to court.
When you go to court to try the case before a jury, real legal procedure
is used to question witnesses, to object to inappropriate questioning
on the part of the Defense Attorney, and to overcome certain motions by
citing relevant case
precedents.
Sometimes you must cite legal cases and statutes to get evidence admitted
and witnesses to testify.
There's a complete Law Library to reference, so you'll know where to find
all the backup you'll need.
Remember the defense wants to drill holes in your case.
The possibility that the case you prepared might be dismissed due to insufficient
evidence is always a threat.
Prepare well.
The defendant is guilty, now you have to prove it beyond a reasonable
doubt. Do that and you secure a conviction.
The CasesThe Sunset Boulevard Deuce
This is a simple DUI (a 502 or a "deuce" to the police) case.
The defendant has difficulty with English and an old war injury, but eyewitness
statements, an open wine bottle and a .17 blood alcohol content should
make for an easy case, right?
Don't be so sure.
The Gatsby Diamond Jewelry Theft
A young coed takes a joyride in someone else's car and a necklace and
a camera turn up missing.
Later that week the necklace and camera were found in her car.
Did she buy them at a flea market or is she caught red-handed?
It's up to you to prove her guilt.
The Rat Tattoo Murder
A friendly game of billiards turns deadly as two rival Chinese gangs clash,
and young Tommy Wu loses his life.
Was it pre-meditated murder or was Tommy just an innocent victim?
The murder weapon and eyewitnesses are here;
it's up to you to put the murderer behind bars.
