Hi all, I was just doing a case and i asked a townie if they knew anything about the case.
They replied *insert suspect name here* hasn't seen or heard anything suspicious.
What does that mean?? They didn't do it? Don't bother asking them if they suspect anyone?
Thanks in advance, Polly

Android, If the suspect has a false/nil alibi you only need one piece of WE to be able to accuse. You need two pieces if you are unable to confirm the alibi.

yeah he's thick ^
What he meant was get a full list of suspects together and 'then' question each suspect for WE.
quite right VB :)

Ok and if you don't have any evidence whatsoever upon someone but by elimination only one may be the one because the WE/phsicial evidence doesn't match the others(so only one left who could have done it)? Can you accuse him then?What happens if so?

You can, but you are taking a risk. You'd have to be triple certain you have no errors in your note taking, that everyone is on your list, and that you've certainly eliminated everyone.
It's easy to get an FA with elimination. Not that I haven't used elmination myself, especially when I was younger and Shady didn't want me to forfeit my life for his services. :)
Plus, elimination gets pretty hard to do in the upper levels with up to 11 people on your suspect list.
No matter what, if you accuse the right person you'll solve the case. Even with guessing. But if you accuse the wrong person, it quickly becomes a costly habit.
