Can someone please refresh my memory as to what the exact formulae are to be able to safely accuse a suspect? I'm in my Sleuth senility stage.

If I'm not mistaken it's like this
PE + WE = guilty
PE + alibi = guilty
WE + alibi = guilty
WE + WE = guilty

Hate to correct you BadAss, but from what I know PE+WE does NOT=guilty. The only way to safely accuse without alibi is with 2 WE.

I agree with Serges, judging from my own experiences.

Hmmm, did anyone ever come up with statistics what the chances are of a suspect having a PE and WE evidence against him? Or does every case have such a suspect like that by means of a decoy?

i doubt every case has a decoy in that sense, but every case will definitely have 1 suspect with a PE and WE evidence against them. It's just that sometimes, there may be more than one :)

I dunno Serges, maybe BadAss could be right. I mean maybe we have been too conservative about our interpretations of these formulae.

I have gotten an FA because I, too, once thought that PE + WE = Guilty. Trust me, that is not always the case. That was an expensive lesson to learn.

you could be right Sindy, in the sense that each case MIGHT have multiple suspects with both PE and WE... i dont think anyone has done the requisite research to confirm that though, so i wouldn't EVER base a case decision on it...

I'm with John Q. here. Have accused with only WE + PE and was a false accusation as well.

"Please note, a piece of witness evidence and a piece of physical evidence without a fake/no alibi does not mean your suspect is necessarily guilty. "
