Charge this guy for the heck of it. The whole case is pretty much a roller coaster of not knowing who is who and in all honesty it's pretty vague as to which of them actually did it, but since Eli got on my nerve I charged him. Seems like it was right choice as charing Hugo will give you less stars than charging Eli for the murder.
