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??

The help file is pretty specific about what ensures guilt. You need the combination of evidence, no valid alibi, and a motive. It doesn't mention multiple pieces of evidence anywhere. Having multiple evidence certainly increases the likelyhood that you are looking at the guilty suspect, but if the suspect has a valid alibi, they still can't be the murderer.
