This may be a stupid question but why do I not get skill points for every mystery solved?

I'm new, however, I think that if your client turns out to be the culprit behind the crime you don't get any rewards for the case. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I had the same problem and that is what I figured to be the reasoning.

You get skill points based on experience. In the beginning, you get a skill point for every 20 experience points, then 100, then 1000?. Eventually it rises so you will receive one skill point for every 40,000 -50,000 experience points. These numbers are not exact because as far as I know no one has figured out the formula for when you get skill points. Doing harder cases gives you more experience points, earing more skill points. Or do many many easier cases and get the same skill points slower.

Your client being guilty has nothing to do with experience/skill points. It only has an effect on you getting paid.

When your client is guilty, you still get experience points (and possibly skill points) for completing the case. Unless you've got the Pick-pocketing skill, however, you won't receive any monetary reward (either money or the special items in AI cases).

I'm guessing both of you, Tina and Feline, have moved to a level where it will take you solving more than one case to get a skill point. As Arabella said, the higher the difficulty level of your case, the more experience points you get, and the faster you come across skill points. Eventually, both of you will hit that top level (One skill point per 40,000-50,000 exp. points), but neither one of you has reached that point yet. ;-)
