Combing through them in the hopes some vital clue or inconsistency will lead to an epiphanic reveal that results in Angela Lansbury and Raymond Burr doing it in the jury box is generally a bad idea. Mining through minute by minute witness statements, police reports, etc. in the quest for the proper placement of the Finger of Condemnation is only going to lead to a city of blind alleys.
I speak from personal experience here. There are going to be tons of inconsistencies.
My personal favorite experience in the strange wonderland of 911 operators, witnesses, and cops on the radio involved someone tripping and putting their hand through a plate glass window. A lot of superficial cuts, a lot of blood, a lot of panic, a quick 911 call.
Then about ten squad cars and two firetrucks showed up.
Somehow "hand through a plate glass window" became "baby thrown through a picture window". The police reports and witness statements were a lot of fun.
That's an extreme example, of course, but differences in various reporting on the ground doesn't mean conspiracy, lying, or some nerfarious undermotive reaching up from the sewers.
(Crowley still an asshole, though)
