Warning, major spoiler

So, would The Mousetrap count? It has sort of the same twist as The Bat- wonder if one of them inspired the other.

Well, it's only obvious to people who already know the ending of that work, really. And those people have no reason to fear spoilers.

I saw a movie in which the real murderer is the lawyer of the protagonist (who is the suspect of the murder). Dos it count as an example of the trope?

I prefer not reveal the movie's name in the discussion page, as it would be a major spoiler for said movie.

The trope is not limited to dedectives, and it seems like a lawyer would fit here. BTW, you can use spoiler tags on discussion pages for work names.

Yeah, it's a nice use of Tropes Are Flexible. In that case, even though the lawyer isn't investigating the case, he's directly involved in getting it cleared up and can actively get the wrong man convicted.

Why is Teet Haerm described in such a way as to give the impression that his guilt is obvious? The man was freed, if partly on a technicality (there wasn't enough evidence to support murder) but also on further evidence suggesting that maybe he hadn't been guilty after all, it was *one* case, in which he was accused of working alongside another doctor, and the entire case has been called 'one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in Swedish history', especially referring to the initial guilty verdict but also to the handling of the matter afterwards.

What happened to the Nero Wolfe example?
