89. Spare me the lecture on due process
I've gotten it plenty of times during this case. And I say...bully for that. The court can give them due process...I don't.

However, my specific point here is...let's grant that this guy has irrefutable evidence that he was not at the house in the time period in which the rape took place. Why would he shelve it, knowing the DA is looking at the whole team? Why would he submit to the investigation and not once say "Hey! I wasn't there and I have proof!"

There's a post above that makes a good point that even if this guy handed the evidence of his innocence over to the DA, the DA is not compelled to present it to the grand jury. But, jeez Louise, if this guy's alibi is so "iron-clad", what's he doing posing for a mugshot?
