For instance, I saw a program about a man who got caught because he left a footprint. Any criminal with half a brain watching this program would do everything to stop them leaving foortprints behind.
It's the same with practically any other clues that you may leave for the police forensic teams to find, fingerprints, bullet casings, blood, DNA the list goes on and on, but by watching these programs, I have almost formed a way to commit the perfect crime, and how to get away with it. Of course, I could never guarantee that I wouldn't get captured if I ever attempted to commit a crime such as this, but you would certainly give the police a tough job. If you planned it out enough, depending on what the crime was, you could even commit it unnoticed by the police.

Yes, but people have been caught in the most unpredicatable ways, like taking fingerprints from a corpse, and figuring out which wirecutters were used to cut a fence. Not all common sense, some of it is luck, and some of it is planning.
If we go back to your own example, the body of your friend would be found in the house. No forced entry. Hence they'd know that whoever it ws was known by the victim. Absence of any traces of anyone but you. Your in the frame again !
Then of course you have the random elements of any crime. Timothy Mcveigh - caught by a traffic cop. Predict that.

Yes, but if you thought about it and planned it, you could make it look like forced entry, and make it look like someone else murdered the friend.

As an ex-petrol monkey, I have insider knowledge.
We get one button to sound an alarm in the police station, a direct line, and a button to close the door so it's fricking impossible to get out again (unless you find the button and give it a quater-turn clockwise...).
Then if the cashier nips into the back half of the building they'll be seperated from you all by sturdy security doors, and be able to step out through the fire escape.
In short, you need me to be in on it :^D
