World's Best Alibi

Finally
Being in jail when the crime occurred.

Sentenced to life in prison in November for armed robbery, LaDondrell Montgomery insisted he was not the shadowy figure on surveillance video. He swore the eyewitness identifying him were flat wrong.

If only the 36-year-old habitual offender had an alibi. If only he could remember exactly where he was that day of the robbery.

A week after jurors sentenced Montgomery, his attorney was researching the felon's lengthy rap sheet.

In that file was a report that had details about a 2009 arrest and an iron-clad alibi: He was in jail.

Released from custody about nine hours after the December 13, 2009 crime, Montgomery was actually innocent.

"We didn't know," said attorney Ronald Ray after the conviction was thrown out Thursday. "We didn't learn that until several days after the trial."

Ray said Montgomery was in and out of custody so many times he did not remember exact dates. The defendant even testified in his trial and never brought up the startling fact.

"He couldn't remember. We asked him where he was on all the cases he's been charged with," Ray said. "He just couldn't remember, for that particular date, where he was."

HOLY CARP!!!
I know I'm a libertarian ...
But if you have a habitual offender who may or may not have full mental capacity, and is truly presumed innocent until proven guilty, it seems like you might want to just check and see if he was possibly incarcerated during the time you're trying to peg him for another crime.
