They= employed by the government? victims? accessories to or partners in the crime? Specific reason for going to prison relevant? Time period relevant? Location relevant? I have been assuming H/A/M for "he"- is that right? Are both "he"s the same person? Is "he" part of "they"? Are "they" H/A/Mixed? | ||

Was he permanently released from prison? Just for a few days? For Christmas? Would the puzzle work for March and April, respectively? Was his sentence revised before letting him out? | ||

Was evidence found proving his innocence? Was there a problem with the evidence that made him look guilty? | ||

Was the evidence directly related to his alibi? They couldn't keep track of dates? Was he proved to be away from the scene of the crime on the date of the crime? Or was it some other evidence like blood groups or dna and he couldn't possibly have been guilty because nothing matched? Nice to see you back. | ||

LaDondrell Montgomery, 36, had been sentenced in November in Houston to life in prison for armed robbery despite his vigorous protestations of innocence, and about a week later, in December, he was exonerated in fact. Although he had testified at his trial, he had not mentioned that he had an ironclad alibi -- that he had been in jail during the time the robbery was committed. Once jail records were reviewed, Montgomery was freed. The prosecutor hadn't checked the records before trial, and neither had Montgomery's attorney, but then neither had Montgomery ever mentioned it (because, he had told his lawyers, he had been in and out of jail so many times in his life that he just could not remember if he had been locked up at the time of the armed robbery). [Houston Chronicle, 12-9-2011] Good questions, Lynne. The next one won't be so easy. ;) </b> | ||

Wow. So, a reason for his guilt (he's been in and out of jail so many times, he can't keep them straight) was the reason for his innocence. Very LTPFish. | ||
