... So what happens if the defense proves they didn't do it? The police goes down the line to find the next possible suspect?

[unbested]

Well... usually they find the real culprit out during the trial in those cases? They've usually been witnesses or whatever... but then yeah, the original suspect gets a not guilty verdict and then the other person gets their own trial.

[skyagain]

So the original one is guilty unless they can prove otherwise? And the police and lawyers get to decide who that is?

[unbested]

I mean— the original one almost always is guilty! It's not like we're picking names out of a hat or something, we're looking at evidence like fingerprints and stuff to figure out who did it!

[skyagain]

You sure? You just said you can't get a different verdict. What if there's a mess up somewhere with evidence or they miss something?

[unbested]

I didn't say they can't, I said they usually don't! Because it's usually right the first time!

[skyagain]

Usually.

[unbested]

Yeah!
