But he won't be going to Disney World to celebrate. He was there when the murder was committed, and he had receipts and witnesses to prove it.The jury convicted him anyway. It's seems incredible that this could still happen, but bear in mind, the receipts, as well as a letter from Florida deputies that could have exonerated him, were kept from his defense attorney.
It's a lot easier to convict someone when you hide evidence from the jury.
Jonathan Fleming had this to say after his release. "I'm going to go eat dinner with my mother and my family, and I'm going to live the rest of my life".

To Catch A Thief...Just Do What This Dummy Did
In the movie version Cary Grant woos Grace Kelley and drives a cool car. But this isn't a movie.

Mexican drug cartels have turned our national parks into profit centers by clear cutting public forests to grow marijuana.

The pot growers surround the plants with cans of poisoned tuna and hot dogs, which are consumed by fishers, bobcats, eagles and owls.
Funny...none of those animals eat marijuana plants. But then, when you're a criminal, you don't care who gets in your way. Unless it's a pesky scientist trying to alert the public. Dr. Gabriel of the University of California has received death threats for speaking out against the poisonings, and the bastards responded by killing his dog, a labrador retriever, as a warning to keep his mouth shut.
