On a past case, I had a footprint and a handwrite. The footprint turns out to be from the killer, but the handwrite was from a suspect with a real alibi. Could it be a false clue to difficult things for me?
There is such thing as accomplice?

Only one of the PE (physical evidence) clues is going to belong to the guilty party. All other clues will be long to someone with a real alibi.

A lot of us kinda' look at it like cross contamination. They were at the scene as a witness or something, but they didn't do it.

Just remember the the rules of guilt and you'll be okay.

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

PE=Physical Evidence WE=Witness Evidence

You might want to try the tutorial case, and also take a look at the Newbie FAQ, linked at the bottom of every page. They are very helpful and will point you in the right direction.
