Re: Milo Janus-proof?

It seemed like one of the weaker cases, evidence-wise, that would go to court. I can just imagine the jury foreman reading the verdict:

"Your honor, we the jury find the defendant, Milo Janus, not guilty due to insuffiecient evidence linking him to the crime. Too many cigar ashes and loose ends, your honor."

Re: Re: Milo Janus-proof?

I can't believe someone is asking this question (again). Milo incriminated himself, because he was the only one who stated to police that Stafford had changed into his gym clothes. Think on that for awhile.

Re: Re: Re: Milo Janus-proof?

He was also the only one that stated to the police that Milo was planning to exercise in a fitness?Where's the difference now?The whole conversation was of course "play" set by Milo Janus, but it doesn't prove anything, as I already said, it Stafford were alive, he would probably switch to gym clothes instead of being in his working clothes and he should mention that to Milo as well during phone talk.

Re: Milo Janus-proof?

vento..you have to remember the last scene...milo concedes to the fact that gene did not dress himself..that someone else dressed gene in his gym clothes...but how would milo have known that gene was in this gym clothes if he hadn't dressed him himself.

(this one always gives me a headache to try and explain )

Re: Re: Milo Janus-proof?

Now I understand it, cassa, thanks for explaining.

Re: Milo Janus-proof?

yay!!!...
it is a toughie, vento, i admit that..it took me a long time to figure out the ending myself..but when i finally "got it" ...it was great! yay!!!

Re: Re: Milo Janus-proof?

Vento, if you had trouble figuring this one out then I assume you haven't seen "Any Port In A Storm" yet. OUCH!! Your head will explode. The ending of this one has to be explained to someone (including me at one time)every couple of weeks!Have fun!

Re: Re: Re: Milo Janus-proof?

I watched Any old port in storm and after first time I didn't get the point, after 2nd time I had a brief idea how he solved the problem and then on this forum I found an old topic where it was explained.

But I agree, it was difficult.
