You accused me of murder. Do you make a habit of bringing schoolgirls into an interview room with murder suspects?' He waved his hand. 'Oh, I was only joking about that. I don't really think you murdered someone. Unless you did, in which case I reserve the right to say I knew it all along. Derek Landy
About This Quote

When the police interview a murder suspect, they often make accusations in hopes of getting the person to confess. The purpose of this is to get the person to admit guilt. However, the point of arresting someone is to get them to be true. When you accuse someone of murder, you are saying that you believe they are guilty, but that you are not sure. Therefore, if there is enough evidence, you can arrest them and then prove their guilt in court.
