She knows

If a townie states that so and so knows who the murderer is, does that have any bearing on whether the one who knows could have done it or not?

Well, there are three people who provide Witness Evidence, but I've received four "thinks" hints. But most of the time, the townie speaks the truth by telling you who'll provide Witness Evidence. But remember of the three people that provide it, one is false, two are correct.

Thanks. I just answered my own question by arresting the one who cause this question to be generated.

That has not been my experience with my accounts. I have had them say Mrs. X knows nothing. I went straight to Mrs. X and ask her. She gave WE. Of course, remember that 2 WE are true and 1 is false. I did not pay attention as to whether or not her WE was true, but I think it was.

My understanding is that you will get 4 names. Two will be said to think they know who the murderer is (and may in fact BE your murder - this has happened to me several times), and two will be said to know nothing.

I am not inclined to rely heavily on the townies statements myself. I'd have to do a thorough statistical study, because I've had too many oddities.
