Actually, his story has more holes than Gary Busey's brain and is clearly trolling.
That said, there is no downside to informing the cops that you were not around when the crime occurs.
None.
And if I put in enough details to not have any "holes," I would be lambasted as a "retard," or some other epithet, for revealing so much detail. Behold online culture.
On another note, I had the benefit of living around the corner from a county DA when I was still living at home. We would talk law and he gave me legal research tips. Man, he had some major f'ed up stories on how the criminal courts roll. The civil courts may be a separate branch of government, but the criminal courts are most definitely a part of the executive.
He saw prosecutors withholding
Brady material all the time, preventing defendants from mounting valid defenses.
In one case a cop was unable to articulate facts at a prelim to show he had reasonable suspicion to do a
Terry stop. The stop lead to an arrest for possessing cocaine with intent to distribute. The judge then questions the cop like "There were reported break-ins in that area, right?" "Uh, yeah." "And the accused partially matched the description witnesses reported, right?" "Oh, yeah." "Well, I'm satisfied there is probable cause to hold the accused over for trial." The appellate court saw this and went "Meh. Harmless error." Eight years later it was found the arresting officer planted evidence on the accused. The cops hid the dash cam tape showing it (
Brady material).
Another time a noob prosecutor failed to have a single witness identify the accused, an essential element of any crime. At the close of the defense case, counsel moved for dismissal because the People failed to identify the accused, thus failing to meet their burden as a matter of law. The judge denied the motion, allowed the People to re-open their case-in-chief, bring the witnesses back in, and identify the accused. Guilty. Again, on appeal the court went "Meh. Harmless error."
I still love cops. I respect them for dealing with the worst of society on a daily basis. I was never in trouble with the law before this. I do full three second stops at stop signs. I don't exceed the speed limit. I salute the flag, eat my vegetables, say my prayers, and will continue to do so. But, I'm not willing to risk life imprisonment, or being on death row until I die of old age, for anything.
