In my script a bad guy frames another bad guy for murder. However I want it so that the cops know it's a frame and close the case, and do not charge the person who has been framed. They let him go and drop the charges, cause it looks like a frame, thereby blowing up in the framers face. Now how do I write it so that the police will drop murder charges convincingly? I was watching some documentary shows for research and the police have charged experts based on flimsy evidence before. So the question is how to make the murder sloppy enough so that they don't charge.
I was thinking that the framer can plant DNA and blood evidence on the corpse, then move the corpse to somewhere else, to fit other parts of the story. However when the corpse is found I need it to appear as a frame that the evidence was planted before the corpse was moved, and that the evidence was not actually part of who murdered the man.
I was thinking I could write it so that the prosecutor says, he is not laying charges cause the evidence points to the suspect being framed, rather than guilty, and leave it at that, or will this definitely require more explanation as to why for the viewer?
