Hmmm fraud would get you maybe 2-5 out in 18 months with good behavior,(if any time inside at all) murder gets you life without,(in a foriegn country to boot) somehow I don’t think even Connie is THAT dim of a bulb.
we stop in Vegas on our way to SoCal to visit family, and we only stop for gas ever since they went coin-less. It’s no fun to play without the chink of the coins when you win…..!!
Sitting forlorn in a dingy cell
Connie contemplates what befell
Never should she have been so cocky
Now her life is rough and rocky
She’s not one to think ahead
And may be next to wind up dead
But Annie will have her way
Causing Daddy to have to pay
For Connie’s big legal bill
And for him there will be no thrill.
You say bleep yankees as if it were two words. Here in the South, Damnyankee is one word, is not considered profane, just the person it ti directed at.
Under common law, three elements are required to prove fraud: a material false statement made with an intent to deceive (scienter), a victim’s reliance on the statement and damages.
No doubt she knew what she did was deceptive and the old guy would rely on it.
The victim’s reliance is where it gets tricky. How was he damaged? He wasn’t really, but it may have foiled some undisclosed intention on his part.
The other heirs may have been damaged (the aunties get a bigger cut), but Connie didn’t know about that for sure.
The kicker will be what Connie thought when she was offered $15K to role play. Was she all about making a dying man happy in his last moments, or was she about diverting an inheritance from one set of heirs to another.
Connie better put in a good performance.
Connie, fergodsake, bargain for immunity and tel the prosecutors the aunties made you do it.
Hokay, let’s see here. As a lover of
broadway, here’s what we got
Bleep yankees was about baseball
Guys and Dolls was mostly about gambling
Annie wasn’t about much of anything
South pacific was about world war 2
Roosevelt was president in WWII, so South Pacific is my guess. Am I right??
N7326, you may be right (I may be crazy), but I think it was Annie. My reasoning is, I vaguely remember the MAD MAGAZINE satire of the movie, and believe that Annie had a meeting with President Roosevelt.

Howdy all!
If the murder’s tied in with the impersonatiion in NY, it would make more sense to have killed Connie (so she couldn’t testify).

It’s possible that Connie still didn’t know that the PI was found dead, and she was the murder suspect, at that point.

Actually, they need motive, opportunity and method. What’s the method? And then tie the murder weapon to the suspect.
Madman2001 over 14 years ago
Joe-Allen “Joe” Doty, you are correct. Connie merely pretended to be a dying man’s granddaughter. I’m not sure that this is against the law.
And, DavidF42, you are definitely correct in that they have nothing to tie Connie back to the murder. She would certainly be a suspect, but …
rotts over 14 years ago
Yes, it’s against the law! It’s called fraud. She’s an accessory after the fact.

Answer to the musical question has to be ‘Annie’, because it’s certainly not ‘South Pacific’.

Annie and the sequel Annie Warbucks.
