#283
After some reexamining of my replies I noticed another two slight errors:

YES
Was there a crime committed at all? (After reexamination of the wording, yes, but not by Harland)
Did Harland know that a crime had been committed? (Yes, but against him, not by him)


Have both been moved to the "Yes" category.
