The first piece of evidence is in exhibit C. In exhibit C, it shows pictures of weapons used and one of the weapons was a knife with the initials FP on it. This is evidence that the Pazzi family might have done it because it has one of their family member’s initials on the knife that was found at the murder scene.
Another piece of evidence is proof that The Pope did it. In exhibit D, Pope Sixtus wanted a loan from the Medici family but they denied the loan because he owed too many Ducats and they thought he wouldn't pay them back.

They also did not want to exit their homes because they were afraid of getting assassinated. So in conclusion, it looks like the murders were Pope Sixtus and the Pazzi
