Let's see....

NO-
"was the evidence that the assistant was last with the librarian?"
"Was she hung from her legs?"

YES (and already mentioned)-
"the nail have some blood from the assistant? "




"During a party at the library, the librarian passed out from being overworked. Her assistant then carried her to her office where she could rest in peace.

The next morning, the librarian was found dead, hung in her office next to her favorite book shelf. Blood on the floor could be seen from a recently gained cut on the librarian's lower left leg. After taking down the body, the autopsy reported the death to have occured only 2 hours ago.

After a quick survey of the death scene, the police determined that the death was defintely not suicidal. What evidence lead them to this conclusion?"

Correct:
-There was nothing around for the victim to jump off of.
-Was the assistant was involved in her death?
-Was the bookshelf involved?
-Did the assistant hang her?
-The assistant hung her on purpose?
-Was the librarian's cut caused from something in her office?
-Was the librarian hung by a rope?
-Had the assistant died from hanging by the rope?
-Did the librarian have a hangover?
-Was the rope attached to the ceiling?
-Was she hung at the side of the room?
-Was the nail there before the librarian was hung?
-Was the librarian's blood on the nail?

Incorrect:
-Was poison found in her body?
-Was the bookshelf knocked over?
-Did one of the books have the assistant/assassinator's name on it or something...?
-Was the cause of death NOT being hung?
-Did the assistant cause the wound on the librarian's leg?
-Did one of the books provide a clue?
-Had she cut herself shaving her leg?
-Was the librarian drunk?
-Was the hanging suicidal?
-Was it something to do with the knot or rope?
-Was the librarian cut when her assistant brought her into the office?
-Was the librarian hung up like a pinata and beaten with a bat to injure her leg?
-Was the librarian dead when she passed out at the party?
-Did it (The nail) have the assistant's fingerprints on it?
-Was the evidence that the assistant was last with the librarian?
-Was she hung from her legs?


MAJOR HINT THAT WILL HELP SOLVE THE CASE:
Blood and other liquds all create marks on floors when they drip. How does the height of the source affect these marks?
Hang hang on! It's coming!

the height of the assistant's blood left a bigger blood splashy thing then the librarian proving that the librarian's cut was under the assitants, therefore the assistant could have killed the librarian?

the impact of the blood hitting the ground thigy that you mentioned... so the mark made by the assistants proved that the assitants cut was higher. so the assitant could have cut the librarian?

The assistant was and is not injured, the only blood in the room is from the librarian.

if u give the answer who does the next one? if it's you again we're all dead!

the blood was dripped from a spot lower than where the cut was? so after the cut had been made before the librarian had been hanged?

EDIT: was the nail from a picture it held up?

Ah finally my computer is back and so is the answer!

Alright so basically what was needed to prove it wasn't a suicide was to find proof of the librarian before the time the autopsy analyzed as her death.

How? Well the diameter of a blood stain increases as the height of its drop increases.

So finding an unusually big blood stain next to the blood shelf, the police were able to determine that the librarian was placed on the top shelf by the assistant, proven both by the blood found on the nail and the bigger blood stains on the floor. Furthermore, a small secret compartment of a big dictionary was later found to have the librarian's usual alarm clock.

How did she die? When the librarian awoke to her alarm clock, she naturally reached over the bookshelf to turn it off. Obviously not finding the clock, the librarian would naturally slip, unintentionally getting cut by the nail and being hung by the rope earlier planted by the assistant.

Case Solved. Who's up?

So who makes a question, how about me?

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
