Yes, I suspect Thelma, because I saw her dispose of the weapon.
Yes. I believe this is Thelma's Footprint.

Are you sure you want to accuse Thelma Perigen?

Nope. That's wrong. The real killer was Quinn Lander.

*note* this was a intermediate case.

Even with evidence, you can have ONE false accusation from another suspect. So if you are unsure about the validity of an alibi, you need two accusations from the other suspects to be sure - the evidence from the townspeople is a separate issue.

If you are sure that the suspect has no valid alibi AND research at the City Hall does not show that they are innocent anyway, then a definite answer from a townsperson tying the physical evidence to that suspect can, in my experience, be counted on.

So in your experience, did you know one way or the other about the alibi of the suspect you accused?

If her alibi was truly fake, not a mere "clam" where she refused to answer your question about an alibi, then I think this sounds fishy as well.

Ben? Anyone?

In response to Rivergallery, I'm not sure I would go with the "2 out of three" rule, exactly.

2 accusations (other suspects pointing the finger) have always worked for me - but that's if you can get two!

A provably fake alibi or a stated lack of alibi (NOT a clam, and taking research results into account) /plus/ evidence tied to that suspect also has always worked for me.

The other combinations:
-one suspect statement plus no alibi
-one suspect statement plus physical evidence
are not, in my experience always enough.

With these combinations I would still consider myself at risk for a false accusation, unless I had narrowed the possibilities down so that only one person was left or something.

Yes, it's just

fake/no alibi and
one piece of physical or witness evidence

pvt. parts (ha ha for the name) - you have either made a mistake or the system has gone wrong. I'm afraid I suspect the former.

I tooko a look at the records for this case. The suspect you accused, Thelma Perigen, did have a valid alibi, the Banker. If their alibi is valid, no preponderance of evidence matters.
