Every suspect innocent?
I'm playing a Sergeant in the Detective Career and so far she has interrogated four suspects. All have been innocent! Is this normal?

I rarely get this, but it happens. Did you switch households between starting the case and making the arrest? Or install a new pack? Because this is usually how it happens for me. What happens is that your old clues get voided somehow and do not apply anymore.
Some general tips:
When you enter the arrest scene, sims get spawned according to these rules:
- One real suspect. From my experience this sim is always a new sim. So basically you cannot go wrong by just arresting the only new face on the lot.
- One or more decoys. Decoys match the suspect in all but one category (age, trait, clothing,...). Also they are often sims already existing. Decoys can get arrested, but will turn out innocent during interrogation.
- Random sims from your game. Trying to arrest these will fail and is not permitted.
If you have the Show Sims info mod, you can use it to check their traits and it will tell you exactly who is the decoy and who the real culprit.
