im on a case at the moment, and i found a bloody footprint from a heavy person. it finds out that there is only one heavy person in the case, and she has an alibi, and the shoemaker has identified that there is her footprint.
my q is, can i or can i not accuse her?
im pretty stuck, and my guess is that i cant acuse her. im i right or wrong?

You could accuse her, but you are right in the fact that you don't want to. Unless you are trying to get the detective fired. Which is what would happen if you accused to many people under those conditions.

Anytime a suspect has an alibi, they are not the killer. Hope this helps in the future. :)

as i thought then.
i managed to get around it and found another witness, just random luck as a final attemt before quitting the case :>

that would be a game improvment instead, if the persons bloody footprint is found on the scene, then he/she would might know something to help out solving the case.

I am not certain about this, but someone recently posted the idea that an innocent person whose physical evidence is found at the scene becomes a witness who will suspect the criminal if queried about the correct one.

Even though this makes sense, I don't really believe it. Of course, I have never tested it. Anyone know for sure, one way or the other?

The last case I had, I found that someone that the townies had identified as a witness, had left physical evidence at the scene.

Of course, that's only one case, but I'm going to check with any spare questions in the next few cases that I have.

I have checked this in a few cases, and sometimes they are and somtimes they are not. Also in the harder cases, there can be 4 pieces of evidence, but there are only two witnesses, so this theory cannot always work.

I would'nt trust this. I strongly believe this is random.
