Three people,
A,
B and
C, (each one of whom is either a Liar or a Knight) are brought before a tribunal for a crime that was commited.
The court records have since been partially lost, and it is only known that A testified that C was the guilty one. The testimony of the other people is unavailable.
It is known that as the court found that only one of the people turned out to be a Knight, but that he was also the one guilty of the crime.
Who was it?
The information that the guilty one was the only knight is the giveaway.
A didn't say it was himself, so he isn't guilty because the guilty one would've admitted it. Because he said it was C, we know C was innocent because A is a liar.
So that means B is the knight and the guilty person.
