SPOILER







I read (on more than one agency page) lists where it says how many suspects and how many of them have an alibi for certain dificulties (ex 8 suspects, 3 withut alibis on hard). Therefore if I foudn 8 bad or no alibis I stopped askign others. This past case I had 3 that were no or ba d(at least I thought), I accused who I thought it was and I was wrong. The guilty party was someone other than the 3 I thought had no alibi. Obvisouly aince I was worng on my guess I couldhave been wrogn in my alibis but Ithink I have seen this before. So anyways, does anyone know if the X suspects, Y alibis equation stillworks?

I'm sure the end problem is my bad sleuthing but knwoing how many no alibis sure helps a lot.

thanks.

FA can also mean False Alibi, depending on the situation it's being used in.

NA (N/A) = No Alibi (ie.- You'll get a message from your suspect that says something to the effect of "Not that it's any of your business, but I don't have an alibi."

FA (F/A False Alibi) = NA (No Alibi)
