I was accused of a minor felony about 20 years ago. I was on video 80+ miles away from the crime from four hours before to four hours after.
My alleged coconspirator talked to cops because he knew he was innocent. They datained him overnight a couple times, showed up at his work and got him fired, and pissed off his landlord by showing up at his house a bunch of times.
I shut the hell up and refused to answer any questions without an attorney. I never heard back from the cops after that.
