This is rather intuitive, but I want a double check from a knowledgable sleuth:

I know the formulas involving witness evidence for finding the killer.
I know that I need WE + WE or WE + F/NA

Here are my questions:

Am I correct that there will always be 3 pieces of WE in AI cases, and that 2 of them will point to the killer? If so, then if I have WE pointing to 2 people, and one of them has a true alibi and the other is unknown, then the one with the unknown alibi is the killer?

ALSO: does WE ever point to someone who has NO PE against them? In my experience the WE always matches up with a piece of evidence, even if it points to a suspect with a true alibi, hence the possibility of false accusations.

Thanks!

I haven't seen the screenshots of the 5 W/E cases, but yes, I guess it's technically possible. I've seen a W/E being matched to a person and a piece of P/E matched to them also, but that person had a real alibi (and I'm bettin' money that it would've hit the boards like gangbusters if something had happened differently). The big question is, what're the alibis that go along with the W/E and P/E matches? Cause only ONE False Alibi will have 2 W/E and one P/E matched to it (again, part of the game mechanics that hasn't been proven wrong yet).

Okay, Dark Raven, SS, and Breitkat have collectively cleared all this up definitively! Thanks all!

I actually have a screenshot of the 5 WE in a AI case. If someone wants to see it, pm me and I'll send it over.

Happy sleuthing all.
