Jimmy Vaccaro in Springfield's Most Wanted states that viewers should place their money on several long shots including Krusty, Moe and Groundskeeper Willie, however, following the most obvious clue that Krusty was in Reno for six weeks, he would have no real motive or even a weapon to harm Mr. Burns, so how he got a 3/1 rating I'll never know. Also, how characters like Lionel Hutz, Martin, Nelson, Hans Moleman and Miss Hoover appeared in the list, since they were never at the town meeting to even know that Mr. Burns was going to show up.
