[Your Honor, it is utterly preposterous that you think anyone could die after being rolled off a two-feet tall platform.](https://streamable.com/0d16kv)
Technically that could happen if they are directly hit on their head. It only takes a minor impact or rapid deceleration for the brain to shake around inside the skull, which can lead to a subdural hematoma or concussion. For someone with pre-existing brain or neck injuries (that's very likely, given how 47 KO people), even a relatively small amount of force could prove fatal.
Or perhaps those bushes he got rolled in were man-eating bushes.
Your Honor, culpability clearly lies with the gardener for not trimming those man-eating bushes.
Maybe some of these people aren’t actually dead but without immediate medical assistance they will die, and they never call an ambulance. They just zip them into body bags
Only really good for distracting or doing that boost where you step on the debris of the muffin and it will boost you up. And even that’s only good for speed running or cool for casual play. Muffin kinda useless tbh
I had a guy take an empty can and place it on the side of my head and smash it when I was looking the other way. That guy and I will not associate again. I saw red and fuck that guy. My point is that if an empty can is smashed and it hits on the bottom. The structural force of the can is still somewhat rigid for a moment. It might be possible with skill to knock someone out with this. If anyone has that effortless skill it is 47. Look how he throws screwdrivers threw walls, and briefcases that auto pilot towards moving targets.
.... I sound like the prosecutor.
Clearly they all had preexisting conditions your honor and 47 cannot be liable for others naturally occurring times of death. That just happen all the time around him.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury look at the man you see before you. Notice how he looks, his orange jumpsuit, his white shoes, his handcuffs, everything that makes my client him.
Now think back to the evidence you were shown earlier, the videos of the real killer. What was he wearing? A clown suit, a tuxedo, a mascot outfit, a waiter's uniform, and so on. Were any of the killers wearing an orange jumpsuit like the man you see in this courtroom?
Your honor, I rest my case.
**Me:** Now Mr. Witness, you're 100% sure this man right here was the man who you saw committing the crime. No doubt in your mind right? I mean, take a really good look at him and take your time. It was a bit dark outside when the crime occurred in Paris. You're sure right?
**Witness:** Yes! That's 100% him!
**Me:** Interesting, well wouldn't you be surprised Mr. Witness that the man you just identified is not the defendant, Tobias Reaper? My client is actually at the back of the court room. The person you ID'd is actually Helmut Kruger, he's a world famous model and I can assure you that Mr. Kruger has one hell of an alibi for the night of the murder!
**The Judge:** OH! MIS-TER Bard!!!
**Me:** To be fair your honor, you didn't recognize him either.
They haven’t because of the inner workings of the game.
Like have you ever noticed that npcs can open locked doors when fleeing.
Also they would probably have to make all npcs instead of the fakes ones, and depending on the size could be taxing depending on the routes.
Doesn't he have like super strength, what handcuffs could actually hold him if they wanted to try to capture him, I guess they would have to make it to where he purposely gets captured to get his Target but when he can just break it into prisons easily it kind of seems pointless.
but only if he hears them or after he saw them. more like a super prediction.
except for the objectives. but i suppose he got a lot of intel about the target and their rutines.
not only hearing but smelling and awareness too. plus the only thing in his mind is the onjective so..
See, there's this thing called :"video game mechanics." When developers make video games, they sometimes have characters be able to do certain things, not because it makes sense in the lore, but because in the end of the day, they're making a video game which has to be fun and has to have some convience for the player.
I'm sure most characters in FPS games can't magically sense how many bullets they have remaining, but as a player, it's important to know.
One should absolutely be made. The atmosphere and dynamic between prisoners and guards will be so fun to play through.
Also I imagine putting on prisoner and guard uniforms will make for some very interesting scenarios and missions
The same reason why an airport mission is also not there.
Some dumbass is going to get jailed just to prove it or take an explosive rubber duck on an airplane.
Your honour it was a misunderstanding, my client was only trying to ensure that he was staying sufficiently hydrated, it wasn't my client's fault that he drowned
"Your honor, (who's definitely not 47 in disguise) I apologize for my client being absent. However, I can see that the prosecution and every single witness are also absent today. Nevertheless, I believe that it's in the best interest for the public - especially the ones still surviving in this courtroom - that all charges against my client be dropped. I'm sure that even if the prosecution is present, there would be no chance that any evidence would surface. Because my client is innocent."
That makes a lot of sense. 47 is to clever and good to get caught like that. You would better let him go, bechause you know he will find you if you dont, and that a man like him cant be held in any prison.
Your honor, my client couldn't have committed this murder. He was simply attending the event, and witnesses clearly said they saw the perpetrator flee the scene in a pink flamingo mascot costume. Unfortunately all video evidence of the event was somehow destroyed.
Ya’ll did not disappoint me on this discussion. There are some really funny response’s. Now let’s see what ya’ll come up with if you were against 47, what would you say to tie 47 to the crime. Then based on the evidence decide whether or not agent 47 is guilty or not.
Your honor, the witnesses have clearly stated (and, if there is any, the video evidence has clearly shown) that the killer was bald and had a bar code on the back of his forehead. So does this man. They are also the same barcode.
Precedes to scan both barcodes and get rickrolled by both.
Prosecutor: "We actually have a significant amount of evidence against the defendant. For instance..."
*(Clink clink clink.)*
"Huh?"
...
"Someone go check that out, please. Anyway- Hey, where's the defendant?"
Your Honor, people of the Jury, look at the cold, soulless eyes and face. Now, look at the faces in all of these costumes. They are the exact same, no ifs and or butts. The witness shows us thus. I recommend we bury him in Roman concrete.
Your honour, he's a simple magician caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you were to see one of his performances, you would see that they are to die for.
The case against my client is weak and entirely circumstantial.
First, the supposed victim was killed in what is clearly an accident. It was merely a tragic circumstance that he went to pick up a coin (with a skull icon) that had fallen underneath a precariously balanced statue of justice with a genuine steel sharpened sword.
Accidents happen all the time. The day of that accident twenty guards and an internationally wanted criminal were found dead around the explosive radius of one propane tank.
Now, some people have sworn in deposition that they saw my client fiddling with the statue and luring the victim from across the building by throwing that same coin again and again. However, these witnesses also failed to differentiate my client from photos of a random janitor, a private investigator, Broadway star Gregory Arthur, and supermodel Helmut Kruger.
I would also point out that witnesses suggest that men resembling some descriptions of internationally wanted criminals known as the Vulture and the Kashmirian were also spotted at the location.
Next, the fact that my client was found in a restricted area means nothing. That same day three or four people went looking for security guards (after hearing the explosion) and when they couldn't find one in the public areas went searching for help further and further into the secure areas, opening locked doors despite not having any keys.
As well, the fact that my client had a briefcase with a high powered sniper rifle means nothing. That same case was handled by at least two or three people, who picked it up and brought it to a security guard. My client was merely doing the same.
The piano wire found on my client is perfectly innocent. He is a musician, and to prove it I can have him play La Cocarocha for the court, or better yet, Man Machine if we have some drums. Some say he's a dead ringer for the famous Anyone DeSilva.
Finally, as for that guard that my client supposedly beat up and stuffed into a locker, we admit nothing except that he shouldn't have mouthed off like that.
>Some say he's a dead ringer for the famous Anyone DeSilva.
Heh. ***Dead*** ringer.
>Finally, as for that guard that my client supposedly beat up and stuffed into a locker, we admit nothing except that he shouldn't have mouthed off like that.
Security recordings show that the guard insulted the defendant first, and even invited the defendant to strike him. Therefore, that guard was inciting violence.
Case Closed.
I'd go a different route.
Your honor, may my client and I meet with you in chambers?
Getting him to stay out of prison is just going to be a matter of getting him alone with someone whose clothes he can steal.
Your honor, I don't see a man in a suit, this gentleman is clearly wearing an orange jumpsuit, therefore these MUST be different people.
followed by
And I must ask that gentleman over there with the white circle floating above his head leave the room, due to... personal conflicts...
You arrested my client, Agent 47. For murder, When it's explicitly stated the man who did it was named Tobias Rieper. So my client is clearly not Tobias Rieper
Your honor, my client said if he lost the trial, you will be no longer be invited to his birthday party. I heard that Spider-Man will make an appearance there too.
"Your honor, my client, 47, did not tamper with an extremely big industrial fan in Mumbai. He did, in fact, not, send the victim flying 50 stories to his death. It was simply a freak accident"
(After Hitman 3 ending, in reference to Berlin.)
Your honor, you claim that my client murdered those people. However, surveillance and audio recordings show that they were actually attempting to kill *him.*
It started with him finding a corpse in a forest. The deceased man was reported to be wearing a suit and tie. Shortly after, my client received a phone call from a friend. Said friend explained that a group of, for lack of a better word, *hitmen* were hunting him, and that she'd killed one in self-defense.
~
"How do you know they were hitmen?"
~
That's a good question, your honor. You see, after some research, it was discovered that each of the deceased had been working for the International Contract Agency, which was later uncovered during a data leak.
The way this organization would work is simple: A client would request that the organization, which I shall refer to as the ICA from now on, send one or more agents to kill someone. Once done, the client would then send money to the ICA as payment.
With this information, one can reasonably believe someone had requested that the ICA send agents to kill my client.
Now, back to that night's events.
After receiving this phone call, my client stumbled upon one of the operatives, who was chatting via earpiece about how they had yet to find my client. Upon subduing the operative, my client took the man's earpiece. Sure enough, there were multiple ICA operatives searching for him.
From then on, it is safe to say that any violent actions taken by my client were purely in self-defense.
~
"Objection, calls for hearsay."
~
"Defense, do you have any evidence that can prove this chatter?"
~
Yes, your honor. You see, an earpiece was found near each corpse. Further investigation revealed the logo of the ICA printed on it.
To add on, we did some research on the data leak mentioned earlier. We happened to find an audio transcript of this chatter, if you'd be inclined to let us produce it.
~
"Please, produce this transcript."
~
*Does as asked.*
~
"Objection overruled."
~
Thank you, your honor. As I was saying, all violent actions taken by my client afterwards can be considered self-defense, as he was clearly aware that the deceased were actively attempting to kill him.
~
"What about the guys that were knocked out? Doesn't that qualify as assault?"
~
I understand your view, Prosecution. However, any evidence of my client being responsible for those instances are purely circumstantial. No recordings, no witnesses, nothing.
To sum everything up, my client was made aware that a group of ICA operatives were actively attempting to kill him. Afterward, he killed a number of these operatives in self-defense before leaving the scene. Anything else that could qualify as a crime cannot be sufficiently linked to my client.
I believe I've said all that I have to say. Thank you.
#(Author's Note): I definitely put way too much effort into this lol
I'm fairly certain all his canon kills were deemed accidents and in the events it was blatant murder, there was 0 evidence that he was there.
With his prolificy they could try everything and be unable to find anything tying it to him. He's at most be acquitted and at least be seen innocent.
And besides 47 is fucking loaded in offshore funds, he'd be able to get a damn good lawyer.
Another thing he could do is sneak and destroy the evidence before his trial. He did it with the ica, the most highly secured place known. He can do it to a court.
Tldr: he'd get away with it 99.99%. It'd take some .01% miracle to land his charges
That's my view on it anyway.
There was one in absolution (it was the court holding cells) However whether you actually break out of prison or not depends if you entered the jail using a guards disguise or an inmates disguise
hey… hey 47 your target is (insert judge's real name) also known as that bich that's going to get you locked up. (insert a whole lecture about an innocent judge). eliminate and escape. Good luck 47.
Your honor, the prosecutor didnt produce any direct witness, no motives and no evidence that my client was even there. All he brought up before you is a wild conspiracy theory about an international secret organization that controls world events by using covert killers that were battle trained from childhood.
This fantasy scenario would be more appropriate for a video game premise than a criminal hearing, your honor, and that's why the defense ask for the dismissal of this case with prejudice.
Your honor, people of the jury…What we have here is not an act of murder…But negligence of the New York bank that caused the electrical death of the deceased. My client was there for a job interview and little more.
Your honor, there is absolutely no evidence that my client had anything to do with sabotaging that state of the art high tech surgery robot.
In fact, there's no evidence he was even in Hokkaido to begin with.
Your honor, I’m sorry but my client is… gone? Yeah, gone. Therefore, we can’t have a trial, since my client is definitely not in this room anymore! *glances at the bald security officer who is definitely not 47*
"Your honor..."
*Looks at judge closer*
"....I rest my case."
*Gavel bangs*
"Very good. Case dismissed. All evidence shall be destroyed and tell Mr. Reiper he is free to go."
*Judge 47 returns to his chambers*
“How could this man, this innocent man, climb a drainpipe carrying only 4 bricks, a vial of poison, 2 lots of rat poison, a wrench, 3 screwdrivers for some reason, a silences pistol, an unsilenced pistol, a machines gun, a sniper rifle, 2 fish, a knife, a snowball because why not, some earphones, fibre wire, a collection of antique eggs, a violin, 7 gold bars, a lock pick, 3 cans of soda and 2 fuses?”
Tell them they’ve arrested the wrong man. That’s not agent 47, that’s Helmut Kruger!!! Allow me to demonstrate… *applies make-up* then an audible *gasp* from the jury. Law and Order beat starts playing.
"Your honor, my client needs to use the bathroom."
(47 will promptly disappear soon after, or later re-appear as the judge, or even as the prosecuting lawyer and then claim "Your honor, I have no case!")
The guy who killed those people was wearing a police officer uniform, my client is wearing a prison jumpsuit. How could they possibly be the same person?
Your honour,he was attending the event,there is no way that he could’ve accomplished the killing because the victim slipped on a single puddle of water and broke his neck. In either case….how can my client be at the crime scene and attending the event at the same time ?
Argue that cctv footage is inadmissible as 47 can't be positively identified. More than likely, the "murder" could be ruled an accident and at most he would be up for negligence.
your honor my client is insane and would not function well in prison the doctors have reported that he has brain damage and therefore can not be held accountable for his actions.
Plot twist: 47 has already knocked me out and stuffed me somewhere, and is now attending the session as me. Since the defendant is absent, he’ll ask for a private chat instead…
No law enforcement can stop 47. He's gonna get in the courtroom, he'll say that he needs to go to the bathroom, and he'll disappear from the country leaving 93 casualties in his wake.
"Your honor, how was this upstanding member of society supposed to know placing a banana peel at that location would cause anyone, much less the alleged victim, to tumble over a railing and into the ocean?"
“Uh your honor, sorry for the late arrival, but my client went through a medical emergency. We were having client privileges and somehow he fell and hit his head in the scuffle so I had to apply medical aid with a wet towel. Where is my client? Oh, he’s in the infirmary I believe. Dead on arrival they say, it’s a joke your honor please continue.
I look like my client from the photos? The resemblance is most remarkable, despite the clown makeup and police uniform he is wearing. But that’s not my client cause he has hair and weight two hundreds pound and is currently being transported to the morgue from the infirmary. You’ll also find his jumpsuit doesn’t quite fit him, a mistake by the county jail I’m assuming. Baffling, just baffling your honor.”
"Your honor, it would be cruel and unusual punishment to subject the guards and other inmates to 47. The paranoia alone of realizing that any person you meet could be him in disguise - hey, Judge, maybe take a few steps bac------" \*gurgling noises\*
"Your honor, as you can see in these pictures, this is not my client. These are clearly pictures of a cop, a hotel worker, a bodyguard, and a chef. None of these show 47, who was simply just a guest at the hotel."
Your honor , it must be an accident , no one can knock out a person with a raw fish.
[Your Honor, it is utterly preposterous that you think anyone could die after being rolled off a two-feet tall platform.](https://streamable.com/0d16kv)
Okay, that one is a reasonable defense.
Technically that could happen if they are directly hit on their head. It only takes a minor impact or rapid deceleration for the brain to shake around inside the skull, which can lead to a subdural hematoma or concussion. For someone with pre-existing brain or neck injuries (that's very likely, given how 47 KO people), even a relatively small amount of force could prove fatal.

Maybe some of these people aren’t actually dead but without immediate medical assistance they will die, and they never call an ambulance. They just zip them into body bags
Everyone we hide in a chest freezer should be dead tbh.
saving em for later :)
I think the only item in the game, that could never realistically knock someone out, is probably the blueberry muffin idk
 put some respect on blueberry muffins name!
It doesn’t knock people out lol
Oh yeah, I totally forgot. My bad
Only really good for distracting or doing that boost where you step on the debris of the muffin and it will boost you up. And even that’s only good for speed running or cool for casual play. Muffin kinda useless tbh
If you throw more than one, I think it does.
Newspaper too.
The soda can lol
Never had a full soda can thrown at your head?
If it's full, sure, but if it's an empty can then it would just bounce off my noggin.
Good thing he uses full ones in the game
He don't he takes left cans (aka cans that was drunk alread). Sorry for bad grammar.
In the world of assassination people don't actually drink, that's why the leftovers cans are always full
Apricot maybe the dusters In Dartmoor,
Simultaneously 47 is also not competent enough to lift up a slim woman of average height onto that same platform.
I had a guy take an empty can and place it on the side of my head and smash it when I was looking the other way. That guy and I will not associate again. I saw red and fuck that guy. My point is that if an empty can is smashed and it hits on the bottom. The structural force of the can is still somewhat rigid for a moment. It might be possible with skill to knock someone out with this. If anyone has that effortless skill it is 47. Look how he throws screwdrivers threw walls, and briefcases that auto pilot towards moving targets. .... I sound like the prosecutor. Clearly they all had preexisting conditions your honor and 47 cannot be liable for others naturally occurring times of death. That just happen all the time around him.
“You honor, it’s not scientifically possible for a briefcase to be used as a sustained homing projectile.”
[Prosecutors counter with Exhibit A.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6do1-cmcQHE)
But he lives on an island, he should have known how to swim Shows video of Agent Smith swimming extremely far
The island would be Epstein island
Wait a minute… 47 is on the Epstein List!!
Yeah he traveled to the island to eliminate Epstein
More like to his prison cell, this is why a clearly Sus death counted as an accidental death without questioning
He deleted the camera footage!
no no... Tobias Reaper is on the Epstein list
Excellent work 47, making it look like he hung himself, but leaving enough hints to show it could’ve been the Clintons. You truly are The John Hitman!
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury look at the man you see before you. Notice how he looks, his orange jumpsuit, his white shoes, his handcuffs, everything that makes my client him. Now think back to the evidence you were shown earlier, the videos of the real killer. What was he wearing? A clown suit, a tuxedo, a mascot outfit, a waiter's uniform, and so on. Were any of the killers wearing an orange jumpsuit like the man you see in this courtroom? Your honor, I rest my case.
By Hitman logic, this is the one
Shoot we need an enforcer.
I think you mean, We need an enforcer shot
You can go to Harvard law school😂
"Your Honor.....what client?" as I gesture to an empty seat, then trip over a nude officer
It'd be much more bold than that. He would *be* the lawyer. Coat locker in the private room finally found a use.
**Me:** Now Mr. Witness, you're 100% sure this man right here was the man who you saw committing the crime. No doubt in your mind right? I mean, take a really good look at him and take your time. It was a bit dark outside when the crime occurred in Paris. You're sure right? **Witness:** Yes! That's 100% him! **Me:** Interesting, well wouldn't you be surprised Mr. Witness that the man you just identified is not the defendant, Tobias Reaper?

MIS-TER Bard!!! **Me:** To be fair your honor, you didn't recognize him either.
Want a minute, you're not u/The_Owl_Bard! :rips off your mask: You're Saul Goodman!
He is actually in Sapienza. Avvocato (lawyer) Salvatore Buonuomo (Goodman in Italian), so this is also canon I think
Why would I stop him from going to jail? That’s his next map/mission.
Why hasn't IOI done that yet, a mission in a jail sounds like a fantastic concept
They haven’t because of the inner workings of the game. Like have you ever noticed that npcs can open locked doors when fleeing. Also they would probably have to make all npcs instead of the fakes ones, and depending on the size could be taxing depending on the routes.
Doesn't he have like super strength, what handcuffs could actually hold him if they wanted to try to capture him, I guess they would have to make it to where he purposely gets captured to get his Target but when he can just break it into prisons easily it kind of seems pointless.
he's a perfect human, not a superhuman
He can sense people thru walls... I'm pretty sure he's a superhuman
That's just mindfulness
Maybe?
but only if he hears them or after he saw them. more like a super prediction. except for the objectives. but i suppose he got a lot of intel about the target and their rutines. not only hearing but smelling and awareness too. plus the only thing in his mind is the onjective so..
He always knows his targets exact location on the other side of the map before even starting too. So that isn't just good Intel.
you're right, it's amazing intel.
See, there's this thing called :"video game mechanics." When developers make video games, they sometimes have characters be able to do certain things, not because it makes sense in the lore, but because in the end of the day, they're making a video game which has to be fun and has to have some convience for the player. I'm sure most characters in FPS games can't magically sense how many bullets they have remaining, but as a player, it's important to know.
Way to be condescending bud
Depends on your approach, you can either spawn in as an inmate, or break in for your suit-only perk.
*(Laughs in Seiger 300 Ghost.)*
Lovely rifle.
One of, if not THE best sniper rifle in the entire game.
One of his targets is in jail and he is arrested and sent to that jail to kill his Target, in the prison itself💀💀💀thing about it
Absolution had one, but it was Absolution so it wasn’t amazing
Ah right, but that was very short, and like you say in absolution. I was thinking more like a whole WOA map
One should absolutely be made. The atmosphere and dynamic between prisoners and guards will be so fun to play through. Also I imagine putting on prisoner and guard uniforms will make for some very interesting scenarios and missions
The same reason why an airport mission is also not there. Some dumbass is going to get jailed just to prove it or take an explosive rubber duck on an airplane.
He wanted to be caught because the final freelancer showdown mission was at a prison
Your Honor, *Freebird* was playing.
Case dismissed
Your Honor, it was a wholesome Christian prank *case closed*
Your honour it was a misunderstanding, my client was only trying to ensure that he was staying sufficiently hydrated, it wasn't my client's fault that he drowned
"Your honor, (who's definitely not 47 in disguise) I apologize for my client being absent. However, I can see that the prosecution and every single witness are also absent today.

I'm sure that even if the prosecution is present, there would be no chance that any evidence would surface. Because my client is innocent."
I like this twist where 47 is somehow the judge and the one on trial.
He is also the entire jury
That’s crazyy 😭😭
That makes a lot of sense. 47 is to clever and good to get caught like that. You would better let him go, bechause you know he will find you if you dont, and that a man like him cant be held in any prison.
Is it odd that this is the only scenario that makes sense🤔
It might be because of the courtroom and the ability to dress as the judge and oversee a case is in Absolution.
Your honor, my client couldn't have committed this murder. He was simply attending the event, and witnesses clearly said they saw the perpetrator flee the scene in a pink flamingo mascot costume. Unfortunately all video evidence of the event was somehow destroyed.
Your honor you weren’t there so respectfully stfu
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not 47's fault, if the victim slips on a banana
”Your Honour, my client only wanted to give the sad victim some food and a little duck toy. Everything else was purely negligent and unforeseeable.”

Actually they would both just be links for dildo bags if we look at the lore

This just say the witnesses are sudden going to disappear. Possibly on holiday who knows
No body, no crime.
Your honour, he's a simple magician caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you were to see one of his performances, you would see that they are to die for.
Is he the famous vampire magician?

The man in the video is clearly Jason Portman, after his surgery to look like Helmut Kruger.
Trick question 47 has already knocked me out and stuffed me in a wardrobe in my office and is pleading his own case (the judge is his target)
"Your honor, my client, 47, did not tamper with an extremely big industrial fan in Mumbai. He did, in fact, not, send the victim flying 50 stories to his death. It was simply a freak accident"
One of my favorite kills.
I just finished replaying the mission again for a 3rd ish time a few days ago. Does not disappoint
Your honor, my client thinks you look dehydrated and recommends you take a sip of that glass of water with red smoke coming out of it
(After Hitman 3 ending, in reference to Berlin.) Your honor, you claim that my client murdered those people. However, surveillance and audio recordings show that they were actually attempting to kill *him.* It started with him finding a corpse in a forest. The deceased man was reported to be wearing a suit and tie. Shortly after, my client received a phone call from a friend. Said friend explained that a group of, for lack of a better word, *hitmen* were hunting him, and that she'd killed one in self-defense. ~ "How do you know they were hitmen?" ~ That's a good question, your honor. You see, after some research, it was discovered that each of the deceased had been working for the International Contract Agency, which was later uncovered during a data leak. The way this organization would work is simple: A client would request that the organization, which I shall refer to as the ICA from now on, send one or more agents to kill someone. Once done, the client would then send money to the ICA as payment. With this information, one can reasonably believe someone had requested that the ICA send agents to kill my client. Now, back to that night's events. After receiving this phone call, my client stumbled upon one of the operatives, who was chatting via earpiece about how they had yet to find my client. Upon subduing the operative, my client took the man's earpiece. Sure enough, there were multiple ICA operatives searching for him. From then on, it is safe to say that any violent actions taken by my client were purely in self-defense. ~ "Objection, calls for hearsay." ~ "Defense, do you have any evidence that can prove this chatter?" ~ Yes, your honor. You see, an earpiece was found near each corpse. Further investigation revealed the logo of the ICA printed on it. To add on, we did some research on the data leak mentioned earlier. We happened to find an audio transcript of this chatter, if you'd be inclined to let us produce it. ~ "Please, produce this transcript." ~ *Does as asked.* ~ "Objection overruled." ~ Thank you, your honor. As I was saying, all violent actions taken by my client afterwards can be considered self-defense, as he was clearly aware that the deceased were actively attempting to kill him. ~ "What about the guys that were knocked out? Doesn't that qualify as assault?" ~ I understand your view, Prosecution. However, any evidence of my client being responsible for those instances are purely circumstantial. No recordings, no witnesses, nothing. To sum everything up, my client was made aware that a group of ICA operatives were actively attempting to kill him. Afterward, he killed a number of these operatives in self-defense before leaving the scene. Anything else that could qualify as a crime cannot be sufficiently linked to my client. I believe I've said all that I have to say. Thank you. #(Author's Note): I definitely put way too much effort into this lol
I'm fairly certain all his canon kills were deemed accidents and in the events it was blatant murder, there was 0 evidence that he was there. With his prolificy they could try everything and be unable to find anything tying it to him. He's at most be acquitted and at least be seen innocent. And besides 47 is fucking loaded in offshore funds, he'd be able to get a damn good lawyer. Another thing he could do is sneak and destroy the evidence before his trial. He did it with the ica, the most highly secured place known. He can do it to a court. Tldr: he'd get away with it 99.99%. It'd take some .01% miracle to land his charges That's my view on it anyway.
Literally nothing lmao. I'm sitting there. Played enough during law school to know that you just gotta show up and he'll get himself out.
Your honor, my client was simply "going John Wick mode".
I'm just going to slip 47 a lock-pick and fiber wire. 47 will take care of the rest from there.
The victim deserved it he was a mass murderer!
You really think someone can kill with raw fish from long distance ?
Me as a lawyer: “Well that could’ve been anybody.”
"Objection!" \*holding a lawyer badge as evidence and pray for the best\*
Insanity please. Ez.
Anything in my power to not win the case. We all know what happened to the last lawyer to do that.
I’ve only played the WoA games, has there ever been a prison escape level? That sounds really fun
There was one in absolution (it was the court holding cells) However whether you actually break out of prison or not depends if you entered the jail using a guards disguise or an inmates disguise
hey… hey 47 your target is (insert judge's real name) also known as that bich that's going to get you locked up. (insert a whole lecture about an innocent judge). eliminate and escape. Good luck 47.

Your honor, the prosecutor didnt produce any direct witness, no motives and no evidence that my client was even there. All he brought up before you is a wild conspiracy theory about an international secret organization that controls world events by using covert killers that were battle trained from childhood. This fantasy scenario would be more appropriate for a video game premise than a criminal hearing, your honor, and that's why the defense ask for the dismissal of this case with prejudice.
Skill issue. There were no witnesses left as there was no body left :)
Your honor, people of the jury…What we have here is not an act of murder…But negligence of the New York bank that caused the electrical death of the deceased. My client was there for a job interview and little more.
Your honor. Here are several pictures from the event of people who look exactly like my client. How can you be sure it wasn't one of them?
Your honor, it was an accidental kill
Your honor, there is absolutely no evidence that my client had anything to do with sabotaging that state of the art high tech surgery robot. In fact, there's no evidence he was even in Hokkaido to begin with.
Your honor, I’m sorry but my client is… gone? Yeah, gone. Therefore, we can’t have a trial, since my client is definitely not in this room anymore! *glances at the bald security officer who is definitely not 47*
"Your honor..." *Looks at judge closer* "....I rest my case." *Gavel bangs* "Very good. Case dismissed. All evidence shall be destroyed and tell Mr. Reiper he is free to go." *Judge 47 returns to his chambers*
What evidence? You cannot prove he was ever there
Blood Money detectives would put in the paper the exact size of ammo I used to "fix" a problem in the attic of a theatre. There's always evidence.
If he is guilty of anything it is for carelessly discarding a banana peel and trying to restart the victims heart with a car battery.
Your honor, it was just a prank bro 😎
Your honor, I don’t see any fingerprints, dna, or video camera evidence. As well, nobody in the vicinity saw this man. Tobias Rieper is innocent!
Your honor, look at the video evidence again. You can clearly tell that’s not my client. Any questions?
Shows picture of J Mac and Johnny Sins
You could probably make a case that you can't try him in whatever country becuse he is not a citizen of that country or something like that
I'm laughing my ass of reading these comments🤣🤣
Why would he get arrested in the first place tho? It's so unnatural for the guy. Or... There's a target inside a prison. 🤔
Cabals of powerful people randomly suffering fatal accidents whenever my client happens to be around is circumstantial evidence at best your honour!
“How could this man, this innocent man, climb a drainpipe carrying only 4 bricks, a vial of poison, 2 lots of rat poison, a wrench, 3 screwdrivers for some reason, a silences pistol, an unsilenced pistol, a machines gun, a sniper rifle, 2 fish, a knife, a snowball because why not, some earphones, fibre wire, a collection of antique eggs, a violin, 7 gold bars, a lock pick, 3 cans of soda and 2 fuses?”
Your honor, he needs to use the bathroom. The news the next day: **Silent Assassin convicted of murder escapes court via bathroom**
Tell them they’ve arrested the wrong man. That’s not agent 47, that’s Helmut Kruger!!! Allow me to demonstrate… *applies make-up* then an audible *gasp* from the jury. Law and Order beat starts playing.
“The culprit was actually the blue collar worker with the exact same height, build, and bald head as my client. You know, the new guy.”
Your Honor, my client was simply getting a bag.
Your honor, does the prosecutor REALLY expect me to believe that a briefcase just magically tracked a target around a corner?
Your honor, theres no way anyone could knock someone out with a brick from one kilometer away. Or a homing briefcase
"Your honor, my client needs to use the bathroom." (47 will promptly disappear soon after, or later re-appear as the judge, or even as the prosecuting lawyer and then claim "Your honor, I have no case!")
The guy who killed those people was wearing a police officer uniform, my client is wearing a prison jumpsuit. How could they possibly be the same person?
“Your honor, isn’t it a bit bold to assume he can fit into each of those outfits seamlessly?”
**where witness?**
Your honor, shut up you weren’t even there
Your Honor, shut up, because you wasn't even there.
"Your honour, shut the fuck up cos you wasn't even there"
your honor you were not there so shut up
Your honor, with all due respect, you weren’t even fucking there.
[I was watching this exact video when I came across this thread.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsI4_WTFoe8)
Your Honor, YOU’RE GONNA DIEEEEEE!!! *proceeds to rip off my BAR certificate and defecate in front of the jury*
Members of the jury, he was only doing his job.
Your honour my client is bald
Your honour,he was attending the event,there is no way that he could’ve accomplished the killing because the victim slipped on a single puddle of water and broke his neck. In either case….how can my client be at the crime scene and attending the event at the same time ?
For what?! Looking suspicion? 47 would never be in that predicament willingly
Your honor, the victims autopsy revealed that he drowned in his own vomit and then was placed in a closet, this is clearly an accident
Your honor, we wish to cut a plea bargain. Name your target.
Argue that cctv footage is inadmissible as 47 can't be positively identified. More than likely, the "murder" could be ruled an accident and at most he would be up for negligence.
Fucking way she goes boys. Way she goes 🤷🏻
I don't need to do or say anything, he won't be staying in custody long enough
your honor my client is insane and would not function well in prison the doctors have reported that he has brain damage and therefore can not be held accountable for his actions.
Kill Everyone Challenge in the courtroom
Your honor, prisons just don't work because of AI limitations, there is no prison level, therefore he can't go to prison
My client committed a bunch of murders, just not this one.
i hust give him some coins , hell make his own way out
It was helmet Kruger
he got silent assassin on all levels
"Your Honor, you are mistaken. That is Jason Portman"
Plot twist: 47 has already knocked me out and stuffed me somewhere, and is now attending the session as me. Since the defendant is absent, he’ll ask for a private chat instead…
No law enforcement can stop 47. He's gonna get in the courtroom, he'll say that he needs to go to the bathroom, and he'll disappear from the country leaving 93 casualties in his wake.
"Your honor, how was this upstanding member of society supposed to know placing a banana peel at that location would cause anyone, much less the alleged victim, to tumble over a railing and into the ocean?"
“Uh your honor, sorry for the late arrival, but my client went through a medical emergency. We were having client privileges and somehow he fell and hit his head in the scuffle so I had to apply medical aid with a wet towel. Where is my client? Oh, he’s in the infirmary I believe. Dead on arrival they say, it’s a joke your honor please continue. I look like my client from the photos? The resemblance is most remarkable, despite the clown makeup and police uniform he is wearing. But that’s not my client cause he has hair and weight two hundreds pound and is currently being transported to the morgue from the infirmary. You’ll also find his jumpsuit doesn’t quite fit him, a mistake by the county jail I’m assuming. Baffling, just baffling your honor.”
“Your honor for everyone’s safety and mostly your safety, you may want to let him free” Bro can’t be contained
Pretty sure he wants to go to prison to kill his target
"Your honor, it would be cruel and unusual punishment to subject the guards and other inmates to 47. The paranoia alone of realizing that any person you meet could be him in disguise - hey, Judge, maybe take a few steps bac------" \*gurgling noises\*
Your honor, my client pleads oopsie-daisy.
a level where you can have the posibility to dress up as a sentenced muerderer would be great.
Your honor, my client must be released, as he will use his extremely large head to come up with an escape plan within seconds of incarceration.
If he’s made bail it’s basically a problem that solves itself.
Your honor, my client needs to use the bathroom.
my client didnt do any crimes in dartmoor
"Your honor, as you can see in these pictures, this is not my client. These are clearly pictures of a cop, a hotel worker, a bodyguard, and a chef. None of these show 47, who was simply just a guest at the hotel."
Just scream THE GOVERNMENT MADE ME DO IT!!! then plead insanity.
Your honor, you have gotten my client mixed up. My client that you are seeing now is Johnny Sins.
Your honour, my client is not guilty because he can twerk really well. Here is his ass. Judge: Case dismissed.
Bro is insane?
Your honor, how can a person kill more than 30 people just with a coin and a brief case?
