Does the accused murderer jump from the ferry in the middle of the river and swim away?
hmmm is this the end of the story for him or do you want him to reappear later?
Maybe reappear later.
The rule I use is this--
Never kill off a character that you may want to use later. Otherwise you end up with Bobby Ewing in the shower.
Quite a few times, we have a character that begins to take on a life of his/her own.
For example--
Briggs in El Lobo. Jack intended to kill him off early and then he developed such a personality by that time, we really liked him. He also gave Jack a character to confide in and play off.
Same with Dr. Gander. He was marginal and now in Dead Man's Tavern, he is about to embark (or so we think) on a romance with Lilaney.
But if you have it in your heart to kill him off, do it quick. One motion! Like ripping a bandaid off and don't look back!
Just my two pence, you understand....
i agree with Welsh don't kill him off if you entend to use him again
..and don't let him be an identical twin brother separated at birth!

;)
I never intended for him to drown. Does he jump off the ferry and swin away, or does he remain in captivity until he reaches prison?
::) we knew that we were just testing you.
;D letting him escape from said ferry might give you more action sequences and more to write on
