Has anyone noticed that people who don't provide an alibi at all are guilty quite a bit more of the time than the usual suspects? Today, in most of my cases (I've solved 16 today), I've kept my eye on suspects with "none of your business" alibis. And checking evidence with them primarily seems to get the job done. Has anyone else experienced this happening frequently?

Also, for those of you who tackle the harder cases, has anyone noticed either of these two things: the most uncooperative suspects are listed towards the bottom; the most uncooperative suspects are innocent? On a good bit of my Almost Impossible cases, I've concluded that the most stubborn people are innocent. So I ask myself, "if they don't have anything to hide, why are they so stubborn?"

For a while anytime I had a none of your business person, I would check physical evidence right away and sho' nuff. Guilty as sin. Lately though, they have been innocent, like Dogberta said, comes in waves. Can't wait till next cycle, makes cases MUCH easier. :)
