Nobody sued the sound
On the way out of court someone remembered a detail: the company that captured and broadcast the Portimão sound had admitted serious technical faults in writing, and nobody sued it. That day, a sound technician even came to watch. The fan, though, didn't stay to see the end. Eight people and a fan, one per row and one per column. Almost nothing is said directly: you'll have to cross everything.
Suspects
- Albano, the hearing recording technician: He records every session. He says in court the sound never fails, sometimes you just can't make it out.
- Benedita, the sound engineer: She works for a broadcast company. She came to see if they'd mention her. They didn't.
- Custódio, the courthouse electrician: He changed three bulbs in Courtroom 7 during the morning. He says light counts as evidence too.
- Donzília, the engineering student: She's writing a thesis on audio delay in broadcasts. This case fell into her lap.
- Evaristo, the social media commentator: He made a video outside the court explaining everything. At home it was half a second late.
- Felicidade, the court office clerk: She receives the documents the parties add to the file. The sound company's had been there a long time.
- Galileu, the air conditioning technician: He was called in to fix the air conditioning in Courtroom 7. They told him to come back in September.
- Hortência, the café lady: She has a radio on the counter that's always on. She says there the sound has never failed.
