Failed attempt

After Joe Parker, an officer was called to the witness box, who had handcuffed Sylvester in his apartment. Charles asked the officer, 

"How did you find Mr. Crowley the day you arrived at his door?"

"He was in his pyjamas. I believe he was sleeping as his eyes looked puffy," answered the officer. 

"How many cases have you seen where a murderer kills a victim and doesn't make an attempt to hide?"

"Something like that rarely happens. These killers are often smart."

"Then do you think that Mr. Crowley is not the murderer here? Because he didn't flee from the murder scene." 

"It is possible—"

"That's all, Your Honour." 

But soon after, Mr. Hamilton called the man who had verified the fingerprints found in the crime scenes, which was under Jane's firm.

"And the match you found was of Sylvester Crowley? In Peterborough, Riddleford?"
