Jim robbed the bank,

for solution we will first find the sequence of True & False( lie) statements e.i. TFF or FFT or FTF so on

1. Jim is lying meaning only one lie left or one of Bud or Sam is lying, so we need to find which one is true & which one is lying
2. Suppose Bud is lying means the words of Bud, "I'm innocent", are wrong/false so "Bud is guilt" will be implication, but Jim is Guilty( Suppose or start checking one by one) therefore Bud is not lying.
3. If Bud is not lying & Jim is lying last false statement would be of Sam. It does not contradicts with any true( statement of Bud) or any false ( statement of Jim)

so False, True, False sequence is correct, So Jim is guilty
