    There are two things that I love about this episode, 1 - The Senator is actually confessing but framing it like a series of questions. 2 - When Columbo says, "you're under arrest sir", and the Senator closes his eyes. Jackie Cooper played this character to perfection, as you really feel the moment he gets caught.

    What makes Columbo so respectable is that he never finally confronts the murderer, especially if he or she is a very powerful person, unless he is absolutely sure and with all the concrete evidence he needs. 👍🏻

    Ehhh just a few more things.
    He's a Senator under police protection, why would he, or even a shooter, go in that room and open the blinds? At night.
    Why would a shooter determined to kill him, standing on the balcony at close range, take only one shot?
    Even if Columbo hadn't beaten him to the punch the entire "attempt" was pretty shaky.
    Maybe a shooter could have gotten on the balcony. But getting off and away that quickly without being spotted would be nearly impossible.
    The sentence "If I fired the shot...!" is probably the Last thing you want to shout at the cops in this situation.
    Then there's the lighter. If the cops are really sharp, they'd say look sir there's been an attempt on someone's life, Nobody is leaving this room until they are re-searched including you. And they'd have found the lighter, at minimum, freshly used. But he likely doesn't smoke. And he'd have no explanation for it because it didn't occur to him to prepare one.
