He has already fought him 3 times. Also his boss never said to stop loving with him.

LA Noire makes you feel like absolute poo poo for making the mistakes they intentionally designed to be easy to make mistakes. Like, holy poo poo, how you're supposed to know which one is the real culprit when it's all circumstantial evidence that conveniently fits both culprits and if you don't do it perfectly the game chucks verbal abuse at you.

Well it fits both of them. But one is a scumbag that your boss wants you to book for it.

I feel like the case's intention is to give the choice between the right guy and the glory choice. The evidence fits Moller more and he's more suspicious, but Eli is a present danger to the community and Boondock Saints Captain wants you to nail him more than arrest a one-time murdering husband.

But it doesn't matter because neither of them did it.

Again, the real problem here is that doing what you think the evidence suggests isn't what a 1940s ultra-religious Irish Police Captain wanted you to do.

First time I played through the case I wasn't able to make Eli for it either. Part of the problem being that his interrogation is really where you can tell the system wasn't originally "Truth/Doubt/Lie". Cole using a "Truth" option to get Eli to easily admit he uses the type of rope that Diedre Moeller was strangled with is definitely more of a "Coax" option. The other problem is that because everything is so vague and circumstantial and Eli's a weirdly difficult read it's genuinely hard to figure out how to respond and ultimately if you don't nail the questions entirely right I think you're unable to accuse him.

Plus the game is heavily leaning on the fact that Hugo looks super guilty despite his repeated insistence that he didn't do it.

My problem is the evidence isn't conclusive for either, but the boss specifically chews you out for the shoddy evidence and everything being circumstantial, like you had a choice! If it was just about going for the guiltier looking party instead of the pedo, he should have attacked your lack of loyalty. As is he just shits on your intelligence, at least in the video. I would totally feel like Woolie in that situation, confused and sad.

Not necessarily disagreeing. It's just that the game decides to throw a "This is the result we want" condition at the player and ignoring it in favor of the evidence (which sorta does point more towards Hugo) shouldn't warrant the reaming out that it does but Captain Donnelly is kind of an rear end in a top hat. Woolie's right though that it doesn't make a lot of sense especially because after a vaguely elapsed period of time he's suddenly fine with everything. I was mostly agreeing that this case is made way too confusing for its own good and the consequences of "failure" are a bit overblown.

EDIT: In a way this is the game really trying to embody the noir theme of moral ambiguity for the first time. Did Eli do it? Possibly, but it's more likely from the evidence that Hugo could've done it. The choice then becomes do the cops take away a girl's father, or do they get a pedophile off the streets? I'm not saying it's executed well, but it's not a bad concept on its face.
