Professor Z was killed by one of his four students, who was helped by another of the four. His students declared:

A: If B is guilty of something, then C must be innocent.
B: If A is innocent, then C must be guilty.
C: If B was the killer, then D must have had nothing to do with the crime.
D: I am innocent.

As everybody should know, guilty parties always lie, and innocent people always tell the truth. Who killed the professor, and who was his accomplice?

I'm sorry. You're quite right. I had the antecedent labeled as T, which was wrong. I hope you'll forgive my coming off so 'sloppily corrective' on my first go-round.
