They found a random illegal alien to blame. Supposedly he was fingered (not like by Creepy Joe Biden) by a jailhouse informant who was full of shit. The conviction was overturned and they deported him instead of trying him again.
That's right, now I remember. Thanks. Of course, that just means they grabbed the wrong piece of shit for all the crimes rather than it not being connected. Prosecutors have for too long sought victory over truth, and a string of incidents where you found the body is pretty damn hard to justify not considering when there's no physical evidence, testimonial evidence, or really anything other than a titillating tale of a trust

I came to post what AlohaSnackbar said, but I had forgotten about the verdict being overturned. Thanks for your good recall on this.
Meh, no harm - I'm sure he's been back at least 15 times since then...
