I've read some of the posts here regarding how inept the police is [portrayed], and that a main underlying theme is luck, which indeed is alluded to everywhere in the movie, but I need a movie to be believable to accept. In this case, the ending is very unsatisfactory not because the soulless Chris gets away with it, but rather that it's very unlikely he would given the ring fell back in his 'court' and not into the river. See, in a murder case, it's very likely the ring would have been checked for fingerprints, and Chris threw it without gloves! Aren't we're already led to believe that another killer somehow got his hands on the ring - ??? - and no one checks the ring for prints? Woody Allen knows how to create a mood within an interesting paradigm, but he should take courses in logic: All he had to do is have Chris wear gloves when he was throwing away the jewelry.
