I'll let you read the whole thing for the full Curtain of Blood effect, but I will borrow two pieces:
Fleming told his
attorneys he had paid a bill for phone calls made from his Florida hotel
room the night before Rush was killed, and he believed the receipt was
in his pocket when police arrested him. But authorities told the defense
he had no such receipt, according to Koss.
In the course of the
investigation, the Conviction Review Unit found the receipt in police
records, time stamped and dated -- solidifying Fleming's claim that he
was in Florida at the time of the killing, according to the district
attorney's office.
"This is proof of alibi that was basically purposely withheld," Koss said.
And on the 'witness' against him,
A review unit search of police records years later came up with a
timeline. The woman on probation was arrested with another woman on
grand larceny charges and brought to the Brooklyn district attorney's
office, where she gave a statement. Within the hour, the investigation
found, charges against her were dropped.
Let's see, perjury, paying for fake testimony, hiding evidence, knowingly putting an innocent man in prison... fuck suing them, HANGING is too good for the bastards.

This happens to me sometimes. Probably you didn't *quite* [Ctrl]-[C] hard enough before [Ctlr]-[V]ing. ;) So the last thing you Clipboarded was still in there.
