That really depends on the crime and the state's laws(or district's, IF Monstropolis is analagous to the District of Columbia). SC does not try cases in absentia; they will INDICT, but not try. Besides, I think that the ones who would have to actually draw up and press charges against Randall, the CDA, already know that he's in the Human World, and the assumption of course there would be that he can't return to the Monster World, that he's probably dead, so what would be the point in trying a dead guy? They might not know all the details of just HOW he wound up there, but I'm sure they know he's no longer in the Monster World in any case. It would be a waste of taxpayers' money(and we all know that the government hates to do that, *heavy sarcasm*)to try someone who's been given, without a trial even, what amounts to captital punishment already. They SHOULD be focusing on how he got there, and WHO is responsible for THAT crime, but instead they chose to just cover it up and pretend it never happened.

Not to mention that a part of the cover up would be that everyone's attention is focused on WATERNOOSE, and his scandal, and the proposed shut-down of Monsters Inc. Nobody would probably even know that Randall was really involved. (now that one thinks about it, remember the play? The audience probably would just think that Randall would "be the kind of jerk to go in with Waternoose", but there wasn't neccessarily any proof. That is...unless Waternoose wasn't given word of Randall's absence...

The audience probably would just think that Randall would "be the kind of jerk to go in with Waternoose", but there wasn't neccessarily any proof. That is...unless Waternoose wasn't given word of Randall's absence... I have to wonder myself if Waternoose actually knew that something had happened to Randall. He'd sent Randall to deal with Mike and Sulley, and was waiting there when the two of them(plus the kid)returned, so surely he must have assumed that for Randall to have failed in carrying out those orders, something must have happened to him(not that Waternoose would actually CARE), OR, he could also have assumed that Randall had used this as an opportunity to run for the hills, and get as far from Waternoose and the authorities as possible. It's clear that Waternoose didn't trust him, and probably had a feeling all along that Randall would back out at some point, and perhaps figured that he'd seized the opportunity to do so, using his pursuit of Mike and Sulley as an excuse to the get the heck out of Dodge. WE know better; whatever Randall's character flaws might be, he's no coward(unlike a certain green Eyeball), but Waternoose certainly didn't think much of him at all. If Waternoose knows that Randall is actually in the Human World, he'll be a lot more confident of beating the rap, since the main individual who can testify against him, who was in with him on this plan from the inception, is no longer there to be called to the witness stand. pitbulllady |

Hmm...Waternoose may have just come to the conclusion that Randall was in the human world (and, we know, that he would've had Randall arrested anyway if he came out of the vault along with the other three).....
Reason being is the security of the Door Vault. A huge, seemingly endless Vault has to have some security measures, and probably very few entrances/exits. And I would guess Waternoose would have had the others covered...I mean if Randall never came out any of them, he was either still in there, or in the human world.

In any case, the CDA knew that Randall had wound up in the Human World, and very likely they knew HOW he'd wound up there, too, and they were covering up Sullivan's crimes, not only of what he did to Randall, but also the fact the HE let in a human child, and HE concealed said human child for a period of roughly 24 hours. Roz even says, when Boo's door is being shredded, "remember, gentlemen...none of this EVER happened!" SHE was the mastermind of the cover-up, so it would make no sense at all for her agency to attempt to try someone in absentia, knowing that this someone was likely already dead, and knowing WHO the murderer was, and covering for him! The sooner everyone forgot about Mr. Boggs, the better, from her perspective, although the District Attorney would likely beg to differ when Waternoose's trial comes up. Being that both are on the same side, that could prove quite interesting, to put it mildly.
