Why was Crow innocent in the Westing Game?

Answer 1

Berthe Erica Crow was innocent in the Westing Game, because she charged for false murder, being blamed for the death of Samuel W. Westing. Later in the book, Turtle Wexler finds out that Samuel W. Westing was not directly dead as in the sense that the heirs thought. The will of Samuel W. Westing declared that his life was taken by one of the heirs, and that heir was Alexander McSouthers, who was actually Samuel W. Westing. When he became Alexander McSouthers, he stopped becoming Samuel W. Westing, therefore a life was taken. Berthe Erica Crow was therefore, innocent.

Answer 2

In "The Westing Game," Crow was innocent because she was being framed by the real culprit, who wanted to divert suspicion away from themselves. Crow's quiet and mysterious nature made her an easy target for manipulation, but her loyalty to her friends and her determined pursuit of the truth ultimately proved her innocence.

Answer 3

Crow got the winnings because the words in the song that were missing said her name and she answered but it was turtle who actually won.

Answer 4

No, she wasn't the murder to Sam Westing because he was disguised as Sandy McSouthers
