Criminal Case Judges’ Headcanons
I realized, while reading the list of recurring characters, that some judges never appear as a victim, suspect, or quasi-suspect, so I decided to create a post focusing on them to give each one a headcanon.
***I’ve excluded Lawson since I’ve already made headcanons for him, and he appears a lot as a suspect and quasi-suspect in MotP, so he'll get more later on!***
Olivia Hall: She moved away from Grimsborough shortly before the events of The Conspiracy to be closer to her family. However, she stays in touch with her old coworkers, who keep her updated on all the craziness happening in the city. Needless to say, Olivia doesn’t regret leaving after hearing the increasingly crazy stories about what was happening in Grimsborough!
Edward Dante: His granddaughter has him wrapped around her finger. Edward adores her, and she is a grandpa’s girl through and through! If you want to see Edward light up like a Christmas tree, ask him to talk about his granddaughter. But be warned; he won’t stop talking for a LONG time!
Nigel Adaku: He always dreamed of travelling the world, but he assumed it would be in his retirement years, not for work! However, while he does travel a lot more regularly than he would like after the Bureau dragged him out of retirement, Nigel doesn’t let the trips go to waste. If he has the time, he’ll go sightseeing, picking up a small souvenir before he has to get on a plane and follow the Bureau to the next country
Satoshi Takakura: His book, “The Law Archives” (featured in “Game, Set, Murder” of The Conspiracy), was published after his death by his niece, Mildred. Satoshi wrote it in secret during his time as a judge for the Justice Corps and hid the manuscript. After his death and the fall of the Justice Corps, Mildred discovered the manuscript when she was cleaning out her uncle’s house. With help from Evie and others, they published the book in Satoshi’s memory and to carry on his legacy
Dora Umbright: Dora loves cats (she treats them WAY better than she does any person) and has always owned at least one prior to her incarceration. Most of her feline companions were strays, as she would leave food outside her house for them. However, some were adopted from the local shelter. Much of her home decor was cat-themed, and she had a strange fascination with collecting plates with cats painted on them…
Judith Powell: Following her kidnapping by Jeb and Willie Redfern, Judith had a security system installed at her house for not only her safety, but the safety of her family. If people were willing to go after her to get revenge for her sentencing their relative to prison for MURDER, she didn’t doubt that some people would be willing to go after her family, including her daughter. Call her paranoid, but Judith sleeps more easily after the security system is installed
Clémentine Lebrun: She never took Hugo’s surname when they got married. Since she aspired to be a judge, she wanted her name to be the one that bore the title. Hugo respected and supported her decision, never pressuring her to change her name and was one of the first people to call her “Judge Lebrun” after her promotion. Clémentine appreciates her ex-husband honouring her wishes and how he always calls her “Judge Labrun” in court since he knows the title means more to Clémentine than a simple formality
Am I making headcanon to delay working on my next chapter because I have no energy for it? Maybe…😶
I’m getting to that point in my writing where I’m SO CLOSE to the end, I can almost see it, and I’m starting to have to drag myself to the finish line!😭 I would love to finish it before the new year, but that might not happen. If not, it hopefully won't be long after that!
I’ll get around to writing the next chapter soon! I have the outline made, so now I just need to write it! Simple, right?
Wrong!😫
At least I’ve gotten more headcanons done and answered some asks in my inbox!✨
