On a related note, I did ask him what TV show(s) he was watching
between 9 and 10pm. He said he was flipping the channels as he
often does and absolutely doesn't remember any of the shows he
saw then as he didn't stay too long on any channel. Speaking of
getting one's story straight, if he had planned the "perfect crime"
you'd have thought his #1 priority would be to establish an alibi.
Even if he had "forgotten" to plan an alibi beforehand, he still had
plenty of time to memorize a couple of shows he could claim to
have watched. The point is that's not what happened and that's that.


Now it is you who assume a perfect crime, and show it is unlikely. I didn't assume 'perfect crime', but quasi-spontaneous crime, which leads to passion (at least) afterwards. When Jim has spoken to the police long ago it surely has been noted whether or not he remebered certain programmes or not. Wouldn't it be dangerous to remember more after a year than after a week? Just as much as to present a totally new alibi ? Therefore your reasoning doesn't devalidate my objection to the interview's outcome.

However I agree that you were asked to make the interview, and therefore had to report its' results.
