I was working a hard case and I had narrowed the suspect list down to two people without alibis, with motives and with physical evidence against them both. Then I got witness evidence against one of them, who I then accused. My accusation was wrong. But if I had got witness evidence against the guilty person as well, how could I have chosen between them both as to who was guilty as they both had exactly the same evidence against them? Or should I just have quit the case?

I agree with reda. There should never be two people with fake alibis and physical evidence.

If you know the name of the case and when you played it, Ben might be able to check for you.

If not, I feel confident about saying that you should never encounter such a case in the future.

Just be sure your lack of alibis are provably non-alibis, rather than clamming, as I said above.

Thanks for your help. Case is in the dim & distant past & I'm sure it's my error. Have tried to learn from my mistakes and have just solved a Really Hard case - by obtaining 3 pieces of evidence! Now I know......!

Sometimes I can't get my witnesses to tell me more than 1 piece of eye witness evidence. but if I have PE and at least 1 piece of eye witness evidence, I will go ahead and accuse.
