I know that a fake alibi or no alibi + PE/WE = guilty
But what if the suspect clams on their alibi?
Sometimes it turns out that they had an alibi & I get an FA sometimes I don't...so my question is how do I know for sure that the one who clams is guilty?I cannot afford to pay off Shady again.

This is what E. Hosn wrote (before me and crunch got trigger happy)

hannah, i think that the best way in any difficulty cases is ( and dnt continue reading this if u dnt have research skill)... ask for motives , dnt ask anyone for alibis , not even the cleint.... wen u have the given number of suspects for this case ( I.E 8 or 9 suspects for IH cases) check with the fortune teller , if there arnt any more suspects , go to the city hall and use the research skill ... now u have jst elminiated one fake/none alibi suspect , and who knows , maybe this very person might give u witness evidence If u dnt have research skill , than maybe depending on the skills u have , u ask questions first ... lets say u get to a suspect that is a male , and u have interrogation , it would better to ask for motives b4 , coz u know that interrogation will work if he clams wen u get to alibis.

ooopsie! Sorry E. Hosn!

Yeah, what would be really smart is if I decided to re-post Hosn's comment again too...but even I'm not that ornery.
