Reginald was passed over for promotion at the law firm where he worked, losing out to Tammy who had worked at the firm longer. Reginald then had a sinister idea. "If Tammy dies, then I would be promoted," he thought. So he schemed to kill Tammy by running her over in the parking garage. Instead, when his plot unfolded, he hit an innocent bystander. The police arrested Reginald for murder.
