In 1991, Jacket undergoes trial for the mass murders he perpetrated. The trials are widely publicized, resulting in the creation of a film depicting Jacket as "The Pig Butcher", as well as journalist Evan Wright writing a book on the killings while trying to learn more about the events at the cost of his marriage and finances being strained. (Two characters are both introduced and expanded upon, before only one is explored by the article.) Evan is given leads by his friend Manny Pardo, a police detective who uses his position to go on killing sprees during stakeout operations, justifying them as self-defense. (Another character is introduced in the midst of expanding upon one character.) Richter also shares his story with Evan in exchange for plane tickets for his mother to come to Hawaii. (Snaps back and forth between Evan and other characters) The aforementioned film's star, Martin Brown, dies when he is accidentally shot by an actress with live ammunition on set of the film's final scene. (Maybe move this section to right after "The Pig Butcher" is introduced) Inspired by Jacket's killings, the Fans carry out a string of murders against petty crooks and drug dealers, unaware of the larger context of Jacket's campaign of violence. Eventually they kill a former henchman of the Russian mafia, and when his boss attempts to reconnect, the Fans track down the call's origins and begin an attack. They are all killed during this attack, except Tony, who is personally killed by Pardo to deny him his "fifteen minutes of fame" for attempting to surrender. Following this, Pardo has a nightmare wherein he is outed as the "Miami Mutilator", a serial killer he has seemingly been after to attain fame similar to Jacket, and barricades himself in his home. (Not entirely clear that Pardo *is* the Mutilator)

The story of the game is told out of order, and the Wikipedia article eliminates that aspect when going over the plot. However, this leads to this weird thing that happens where whenever two characters' stories intersect in the article, it moves from one to the next. This is flow-breaking when it happens.

Introduces Jacket's trials > Introduces "The Pig Butcher" (Martin Brown) > Introduces Evan Wright > Expands on Evan while introducing Manny Pardo and finishing Richter's story > Finishes Martin Brown's story > Introduces the Fans > Finishes the Fans' story > Continues and finishes Manny's story

A better idea could be to introduce each character altogether and finish their story one at a time, like in the preceding paragraph. Jake and Richter are both introduced as being parallels to Jacket before they each get their own description. However, given the number of characters influenced by Jacket in this section of the story, this might be difficult.
