Harriet Davis is the villainess of "Open Wounds", case #20 of Criminal Case: Pacific Bay, the 2nd season of the crime solving game Criminal Case (release date August 28, 2014). She was a local school teacher in Jazz Town and ran the anti-war organization known as "History For Peace". She was also openly opposed to the local Civil War re-enactment club run by Joe Stanford, believing the club glorified war violence.
When Joe was killed during a re-enactment performance via a cannonball, Harriet was questioned by the player and detective Frank Knight after her stance against Joe's club was found. After learning of Joe's death, Harriet revealed how she'd been fighting against the glorification of war since college and that Joe's death was a testament to her stance about violence in the country's current culture.
But the investigation proved that it was Harriet herself who was behind Joe's murder. Harriet was furious with Joe for promoting his re-enactment club at her school, even putting a poster inviting the students to rifle shooting courses in the school playground. Using chess strategy and a wooden quadrant, Harriet positioned a cannon in the perfect position to fire a cannonball at Joe, killing him. After the evidence proved Harriet's guilt, the player and Frank confronted Harriet in her classroom. After attempting to deny everything, the evil Harriet unabashedly confessed to killing Joe, proclaiming that she was protecting her students from Joe's influence and boasting that she felt what she'd done was right.
Harriet was arrested and put on trial, where Harriet revealed that her ancestor had been in the United States Colored Troops, and that part of her motivation for being anti-war was the fact that she believed that people focused more on the violence of the Civil War than on the fact that it was fought to abolish slavery. Harriet was ultimately sentenced by judge Edward Dante to twenty years in prison.
