[Columbo] If I hypothetically had Columbo investigating me, what would be the best way to make sure I don’t get convicted?

Lawyer up immediately. Do not communicate with him under any circumstances. If you believe yourself to be more intelligent than Columbo, you are likely wrong. If you actually are more intelligent than Columbo, he will somehow use this against you. His only weakness is that his great powers are dependent on communication.

If you have already communicated with Columbo, your only option is to eliminate him and hope that he is replaced with a less competent investigator. If you are unable or unwilling to do this, you must attempt the bribe the judge, jury or prosecutor to secure a favorable outcome. This will only be successful if you can prevent Columbo from communicating with the judge, jury or prosecutor that you have corrupted.
