Graendal cannot comment later that she killed Asmodean if she is dead by balefire.
There is a theory out there that we might see Asmodean reappear in the series, based on the assumption that Graendal could have been burnt out far enough back to undo Asmodean's death.
The logic goes like this:
1. No character has yet revealed themselves as Asmodean's killer.
2. Graendal cannot reveal herself as Asmodean's killer because she died by balefire.
3. The only possible way to still implicate Graendal as Asmodean's killer is if somehow Asmodean were to reappear in the series (i.e. if Graendal were the killer and she was balefired back far enough, then Asmo might reappear)
4. Because Brandon says it is impossible to burn Graendal out that far back, it is impossible the balefiring of Graendal will cause Asmodean to reappear.
5. Graendal cannot reveal herself as Asmodean's killer directly (because she is balefired) or indirectly (by Asmodean reappearing).
Ergo, somebody else killed Asmodean, not Graendal.

Sanderson eliminates a particular somebody from consideration as Asmodean's killer

Yes, Brandon did. I edited my original message to add in another quote from Brandon...see above *NM*

There's nothing in those quotes that even touches on who killed Asmodean.

Logain is just making too much of a RJ comment in which he said he'd "probably" do it that way.

But do you agree that Graendal cannot reveal herself if she got balefired? *NM*

We can still have a pre-death PoV from her. Or another Chosen can implicate her. *NM*

That did not confirm anything except her being balefired wouldn't bring him back.
