Brain Teasers
Fell Off a Cliff
The dead body of Adrian was found at the bottom of the cliff. He was clothed in heavy hiking boots, mitts, several light jackets, and thick woolen trousers. James G recounted. "I returned to camp early to make dinner for the hunting party when I saw Adrian and Lulo arguing. They had been dating for several years and frequently held heated discussions. I didn't want to intrude, so I hid behind a tree. Suddenly Adrian picked up a rock and delivered a fatal blow to Lulo's head. Just then Adrian saw me. He was so startled he turned and ran. He obviously forgot about the cliff and fell to his death." When the lab checked the rock that supposedly killed Lulo, it found Adrian's fingerprints on it. They immediately ordered the arrest of James G. Why?
Answer
Adrian's body was found wearing mitts, so it would not have been possible for his fingerprints to be on the rock that killed Lulo unless James arranged for them to be there.Hide Answer Show Answer
