This situation came up in my game - I've pretty much decided how I'm going to deal with it, but I'm curious what other people think.

The group got set up by the current uber-villian - created a fake group, set up with plastic surgery (don't have to worry about trid phantasm) and had them blow up a cop car. Lone Star went nuts and put a bounty on the runners heads, and the fake group disappeared - until the real group tracked em down.

Now. Exactly how would Lone Star react to third party people bringing in the stiffening corpses or two, and near dead third (and toss in a confession from the third saying they did it, but they're not the originals)?

This was done in the hopes Lone Star would do some if not all of the following:
1) Get rid of the bounty on the real runners, clearing their names
2) Get Lone Star to back off their contacts (who were being squeezed for information)
3) Get the 50,000 bounty per runner (even tho technically the bounty was on the real ones, not the fake ones)

Would Lone Star be confused as heck? Refuse to pay anything due to technical error? Throw the third parties in the hoosgow because they are dumping dead bodies on their porch (rather than calling the fuzz in to see the crime scene, ala CSI)? Something other than this? Or a combo of some or all of the above?

Fun situation, huh?
