Hi there,
If one of my detective's skills is footprint analysis and I find, while searching the crime scene, the footprint of for instance a heavy person (so it says...) am I a hundred per cent sure that the culprit is heavy? In other words, is the footprint analysis skill completely reliable?
I had a case where I knew the murderer was heavy and right handed, only one of the suspects corresponded to that profile and when I accused him, it appeared I was wrong and that the real murderer was slim and right handed. I have the habit not to check alibis of suspects who do not match the profile I'm given through evidence. Wrong habit?
