Is witness evidence 100% reliable?

In my experience, no. There have been a few times where witnesses suspect someone and it turns out to be the wrong person.

The best thing, if at all possible, is to make sure you have at least one witness and one piece of physical evidence connecting the suspect to the crime scene.

And when you get all three, don't necessarily rush to accuse the suspect. Get as much physical/witness evidence as you can. If I can get one piece of physical evidence and at least two witness ID's, I'm comfortable enough to accuse.

False alibi, false alibi, flase alibi, if you only have one eye witness. The PE won't be enough.

2 eye witnesses = guilty even without the PE.

u can always trust 2 eye witnesses! but if you have only one it can be wrong then you need PE and false alibi.

And PE and false alibi are good enough to stand without the witness evidence, as long as you are sure you truly have a false or stated non-alibi.
