I've been watching my DVD set of Season One and while watching Legacies was perplexed at an inconsistency I've noted before, though not commented on. Those who have seen Legacies know that when the body of a great Minbari General is placed in a special room for viewing, Neroon insists on only Minbari guards for security. Yet, when the body disappears and Neroon complains, neither Sinclair nor Garibaldi raise the potential culpability of the Minbari guards. I don't understand JMS' rationale in not covering this basic point, but in any police investigation the first people to be interviewed would be those on scene. The question that Garibaldi would insist on asking is, "what do the Minbari guards know?" And, (to Neroon) "since you deemed Minbari security so superior to human security, how do YOU explain the disappearance of the body?" From Sinclair's perspective he would be entirely justified in thinking that Neroon was responsible in order to provoke an incident. This wasn't a situation of someone finding the Minbari guards bound and gagged, so as far as appearances in an investigation, they automatically become the chief suspects.
