WE + PE = not guilty

I seem to have been playing Sleuth for the last year under a false impression!

I thought that if you had a suspect who'd clammed on their alibi, but you had both physical evidence and a witness against them, you could safely accuse. Not so on my last case: the suspect did in fact have a valid alibi.

Could this have been a bug in this one case, or have I just been very lucky not to have falsely accused anyone before now?

PE+Fake/"none of your busineess" Alibi=guilty
WE+Fake/"none of your business" Alibi=guilty
2 WE = guilty

PE=Physical Evidence WE=Witness Evidence


If you don't have a bad alibi, you need the second WE to be certain you have the guilty party.

This part I know - it was the second WE in the absence of a bad alibi I'd got wrong. Can't believe I've been getting away with that for so long!!!

Oops, must look which detective I'm signed in as! Thaddeus and Andrea have the same typist working for them. :)

Heehee!!!

*is glad she didn't dig up a bunch of old posts*

Yeah, it's possible to guess correctly, there is always one real alibi person with a piece of evidence that will have an eye witness against them though. So, it's a risky guess.

I believe you have been lucky. 2WE= guilty, PE+no alibi=guilty or WE+no alibi=guilty. When a suspect clams without giving an answer then you need 2WE= guilty
PE+WE=nothing absolute, so I think you are very lucky over the last year. You might want to try the track with thAT KIND OF LUCK!!
