A royal crown was stolen from a glass vault. The security footage showed a person wearing a heavy winter parka and sunglasses walking out with the heavy box. When suspects were brought in, Detective Sterling asked them all to take off their coats. One suspect was sweating profusely. Did this prove guilt?
No
Sweating profusely under heated interrogation lights while wearing a heavy winter parka proves nothing about who committed the theft hours earlier; it's a false indicator of guilt.
