The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
How often does Harry's withholding of information actually get people hurt...
Bad Alias:
@Morris: Ok. I'd say we have fundamentally different views of what murder is, and that's okay. I view it as a word describing a set of facts. You look at it as the conclusion of a legal process (or some such thing that I could probably have worded better).

That, or more particularly, what I read between the lines, made me smile.

[2.] What do they have? [3.] Point being, if Mouse felt that Harry was wrong in telling him to kill Cassius, he wouldn't have done it... Clearly Mouse felt as long as Cassius lived he remained a threat to his master and killed him to defend him..

1. I was responding to the question of why the authorities would connect Dresden to the scene.
2. As I said, not a whole lot, but enough that a responsible investigator would attempt to question Dresden.
3. I'm not sure Mouse's thought process was clear. What is Mouse's developmental stage at this point? He is clearly smart and has some sort of agency (which gets super complicated in the DF). But Mouse also takes his lead from Harry throughout the novels. Mouse might not know what the right move is and is waiting for Harry to tell him what to do. (Not that it really matters, but as Morris said, Peace Talks still isn't done).

Yes, but then one must look at that picture... Who's blood was all over the place? Harry... If the bonds were left behind, who's DNA was on the inside bit that was next to the skin? Harry.. If the knife remained, who's fingerprints were on it? Cassius... Even if he wore gloves during the act, did he think to wipe it down well enough to remove his DNA and all traces of finger prints? Who bares the scars that match the knife? Harry... Mouse cannot talk, most likely Butters would say he and Mouse stopped the torture when they both tackled Cassius and Mouse killed him to protect his master.. So it comes down to what Harry and Butters are willing to say... The evidence doesn't point to Harry as the killer, on the contrary it says that Cassius was trying to kill Harry.. Which as we know, he was.
Bad Alias:
You're arguing with a point I didn't make, with a point I did make. My point is that the police have sufficient evidence to connect Dresden to the scene, and, without more, that's it.

I think I expanded your point..
