Rules question: sacrificing evidence

By Bleached Lizard, in Android

When a detective sacrifices evidence (due to his plot card, for instance), does he get to look at the evidence chit first before deciding to discard it or not?

i don't think so, he takes one but don't take a look at it

Why would he take one, then? preocupado.gif

Kevin W has ruled on another thread about this:

13. On the Start card, "Haunted By The Past," Raymond gains baggage when he "sacrifices" a piece of evidence. This clearly happens before placing a piece of evidence. Does this happen before or after Raymond looks at the value on the piece of evidence? Is the sacrificed piece returned to the evidence pool or returned to the box?

A: Ray may look at the evidence before sacrificing it, and the evidence returns to the pool.
