Stupidity: The protagonist removed a blood-stained bottle from the bloodied car where the murder takes place, and this may incriminate him. To avoid being found out by the police, he disposes of it where, he unironically comments "nobody will find it." Which is...the closet of his bedroom. It works.

Plot hole: The main character finds the dead journalist at the beginning of the movie, walks back to town using the main road, and when he gets there not only have the police found the cadaver already, but the barman knows all about it, including the outcome of the questioning of the witness. Stellar police work and mad gossiping skills, all without the police cars passing by the unsuspecting Thad and arresting him.
