he didn't commit the murder in question? The article doesn't actually provide evidence that he didn't, merely that the state decided too much time had passed to bring the case back to trial.

And I'm not sure why not bothering to pass along an alibi that had first been verified but then found to be untrue is a big deal. I would understand why it would be problematic if they didn't pass along an alibi that WAS true, but not one they found out was a lie.

So what's missing in this story?
