No but murder plays a part in the LTP
Not conspiring as in planning together but it was a crime for the same event.
Did they all coincidentally plan to commit the same crime?
A cover up?
did they all work where the crime happened?
are they all related? ( family, friends, etc)
Was the victim an organization? The state? The public?

No

A cover up?
No

did they all work where the crime happened?

Two did and no

Was the victim an organization? The state? The public?
Technically the court was the victim
Since the guessing game seems to be stalling out, I’m going to try find the puzzling part.
Was it a very unusual crime?
A routine sort of crime, but committed under very unusual circumstances?
Was it strange that these specific people would be brought together by this incident?
If all these people you named were replaced by random made-up names, would the situation be as noteworthy?

Not at all. Remember the Court was the victim so I think that could only be one crime.
That would also answer

Not strange at all

The names are immaterial.
Huge hint tomorrow if we don’t progress.
Since the court was the victim, is the crime contempt of court?
I believe they’re summoned jurors who skipped jury duty.
in terms of contempt of court, 6 were convicted and 3 were acquitted.

Yes!

No!
Did they perjure themselves?
Did they hide hide evidence?
Disrepsect the court/judge?
Fail to follow a court order?
Were the two whose employment matters lawyers?
If so were they working for the defense? Prosecution? Both?
Were they jurors?
witnesses?
lawyers?
judges?
defendants?
court staff?
police?
the press?
members of the public?

Fail to follow a court order?
Yes.

Were the two whose employment matters lawyers?
Nope

police?
Two were

members of the public?
The others were
So to summarize, it was contempt of court by not following a court order. 2 were police officers, the other 7 were general public.
But what makes it lateral? That’s the next thing to pursue.
Does this have to do with immigration law?
Was the court order particularly unusual?
Was the way in which they failed to comply unusual?
Was it a single order that they all failed to comply or were separate orders given to different defendants?
Were they in the court when they failed to comply?
Were some of them defendants in another court case?
Were some of them members of the Jury?
Was there anything unusual about the judge?
Was the court order something they could not reasonably be expected to do? Did they not know about it?
Did they fail to comply because they were all dead?

Was there anything unusual about the judge?
No it wasn’t an unusual order
The way they violated it was unusual (but that’s not the lateralness)
It was a single order
It was outside of the court
They were not defendants in any other court at the time nor jurors.
“the judge”? That makes this unanswerable.

Was the court order something they could not reasonably be expected to do? Did they not know about it?
Did they fail to comply because they were all dead?
No to all three.

Does this have to do with immigration law?
No, although now I’m curious as to what case you’re thinking of.
