Macbeth

Act 2 of Macbeth led me to thinking about the crime solving strategies of Macbeth's time. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth craftily blame the death of the king on his servants simply by placing the murder dagger wisely. The princes Malcolm and Donalbain are soon blamed because they fled the area. The court of assumptions is the judge of this murder already. The entire situation reminds one of the importance of even basic crime solving practices. At Macbeth's point in time it seems the only way to reliably catch the true criminal is to catch someone in the act.
