Sorry hit the wrong button!
Anyway

Can an innocent person in a Really hard case have both Physical and witness evidence against them.. he clammed on my first question..

I am going back to hard cases till I build up, but was wondering if I should venture a guess or not........

Also one other piece of evidence points to another suspect..

And one suspect hasn't been flushed out at all

And finally one more has no alibi.

So I have 7 suspects, 2 with real alibi's, 1 with a fake, four unknown. One of the real's fingered an unknown.
3 physical evidences- one pointed to none, one to an unknown, the second to the fingered unknown.

Everyone is clammed.. ugh

You will usually have a false alibi, physical evidence and two eyewitnesses against your killer. There is also usually an eyewitness toward someone with a real alibi, and all the evidence that doesn't point to the killer is toward somone with a real alibi.

You have to look at someone having two of the three, false alibi, physical evidence, and two eyewitnesses.

If you cannot get the evidence, sometimes you have to drop the case. I had one where I had physical and one eyewitness against two people, and both clammed on alibi, so I had to drop the case.

Hope that helps!

AH!
Ok so
as my Prime suspect has-
An UNKNOWN alibi.. neither fake nor real
Physical evidence
and only ONE eye witness,, it is not enough..

If I could have gotten a false alibi OR one more eye witness it would have been enough.. correct?

Yes, and a "none of your business" counts as fake when figuring alibis, but neither better or worse.

You can quit as many cases as you want and it dose'nt count against you BUT if you falsely accuse its 3 strikes and you're out. POINT here if you really are not sure quit.
