Reasonable Doubt

Suspect up to one target creature. (A suspected creature has menace and can't block.)
"Merle had the motive, but Blovinac was the one caught with the murder weapon. And who was the seven-foot-tall hooded figure? This case is a mess!"

You can't cast Reasonable Doubt just to suspect a creature. There has to be a spell on the stack that's a legal target for Reasonable Doubt.

There's no limit to the number of creatures that can be suspected simultaneously. Suspecting a new creature doesn't cause other creatures to stop being suspected.

If a suspected creature loses all abilities, it will lose menace and "This creature can't block", but it won't stop being suspected.

Being suspected isn't a copiable value. If a permanent becomes a copy of a suspected creature, it won't be suspected.
