False witness evidence?

Do witnesses ever give false positive evidence?

I just attempted "The Excruciating Hunt for the Lost Answer" - but one of the witnesses (Adelaide) said she saw something suspicious about Prudence (whom I accused) - but the real killer was Solomon!

Is this a bug??

OK, that's really helpful to know. I'll watch out for now on.

Elsey is correct.

Hmmm. I have also just discovered that one piece of physical evidence is also not good enough, although I would have thought this would have been damning. 8-(

im almost sure 1 piece of physical is good enough if u have false alibi to go with and u checked the hall of records. i usually get them only on that 1 physical, i ask verbals only if i cant confirm the physical evidence.

ANY evidence is convicting if the suspect has a false alibi, even witness evidence. All you need is one piece of evidence and a false alibi to accuse the right person.

Sorry Raider, but I'm not sure that one is entirely bullit proof. In every case there are 2 witnesses pointing at the person who did it, and that person has of course a false alibi. But there's also 1 person naming someone else, and I've experienced that he or she has had both false and real alibis. So I'm not sure you can feel 100% safe with a false alibi and just 1 witness, unless the questions you've asked allow you to eliminate other options :)

One evidence and false alibi as always worked for me so far. But I do have research that allow me to eliminate one false (haven't had an evidence pointing to somebody cleared by research yet) If once I'm proved wrong, well... Shardy Guy, here I come.

False alibi AND evidence for the same suspect would invariably lead to false accusations if it were possible to NOT be the right suspect, therefore, ONLY 1 piece of evidence, of any variety, with a false alibi (and a motive) is all that is ever required.

The city hall suspect owns no evidence, physical or verbal, since having any would lead to a false accusation.

Proof cannot be offered for you doubters since one cannot prove a negative. But just try to think about the logical consequences of the alternative.

Once I got two pieces of evidence pointing to someone and accused her- it was really someone with only one piece of evidence, and that evidence was only witness evidence. Poop!
