That is one of those BS misleading facts that tend to cast doubt on the honesty of the person making them. The state never claimed he was present during the killing but that he paid someone else to kill the man. it has be examined and reexamined and was even retired and he was found guilty by tow different juries. I was convicted on the testimony of his accomplice and because the fact that his boss was looking into him stealing.
There really is nothing unusual about this case and we convict people everyday on similar evidence. It is wrong to kill man who turns out be innocent but it is also wrong to keep a man prison for decades who is innocent. Should we stop convicting based on eye witness testimony?
