Dumb luck

How about this for a bad run? 4 out of my 7 witnesses used the butcher as their alibi, so despite sweet-talking and flirting, I had to bribe her $150 to corroborate the last person's story.

Then I had to Bribe Milton as well before he could identify the footprint as belonging to...

... MY CLIENT!!!

That case cost me $300 to solve. <ashes head>

!!!!!!DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!!!

Absolutely no WE and had no alibi info for three due to clamming up. One suspect has a barber alibi which might as well be alibi info as four suspects all with curly hair which one piece of evidence. The other pieces were straight hair. So, I go to the Barber, analyse the 1st piece of straight hair, doesn't believe to my first suspect,... doesn't belong to my second suspect either. Suddenly, it dawns on me that's it's not likely to belong to the htird suspect either. I SWEAR VERY LOUDLY A LOT OF TIMES. So, I go through Suspect one and Two again... THIS TIME ANALYSING THE CURLY HAIR! I have to Sweet Talk the barber BUT it works!!!! THANK YOU SWEET KISHNA AND BUDDHA (I'm in Delhi). Then of course I have to pay $200. Oh well, suspect 1 & 2 crossed out. That leaves me with No Info Alibi and Barber Alibi. Yes, I'm sorry. I do it. I GUESS! I used my gut instict and went with No Info Alibi. I actually put my hands over my face and sit there rocking saying over and over and over again "pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease".
THANK YOU SWEET BUDDHA AND KRISHNA.

They say God looks after fools and drunks.

P.s S&H if ye want to fire my ass...

*laughs* Maybe. So far on case 99 with a false accusation... if I can just make it to 100...
*crosses if fingers and is glad she's not in Lunders*
Dionne, there's no way I would have guessed that case if I had been!
