I was thinking the same thing but there were also witnesses who swore he was in the Harlem building at the time. That + the post was enough for the prosecutor to know they had a losing case, is my guess.

It's good to know we're still innocent until proven guilty here in the USA.

Sorry, but you have that backwards. We are guilty until proven innocent...even then, we are still partially guilty.

Actually, it's technically NOT GUILTY until proven GUILTY. Only after being found NOT GUILTY of something can you then request to be found INNOCENT. Most people seem to be happy just being NOT GUILTY, though. ;-)

And people in law enforcement wonder why so many people, especially those of us without $$, have contempt for the US Justice System. It isn't really about guilt or innocence, it's about wins and convictions. If you're innocent, well "It's the best system in the world" crap spewed by Prosecutors each and every time someone ends up being released from prison after spending time in jail (usually many years) for something they didn't do.
