That's what I thought when I read the article. With the video and ATM records, the alibi's pretty solid. Something about the story just doesn't make sense.
Sure it does.It is called witness intimidation. If they could have got the cbbie to recant on just one aspect of the story, any aspect, they get his testimony tossed and can say the defence witness lied or changed his story. Prosecutors, especialy this on, sometimes are as bad as the crooks that roam our streets, facts be damned.
the prosecution will argue that Seligmann could have given someone else the password for his ATM card and that the video is so blurry that someone of Seligmann's general description could have passed for him.
Eyewitness testimony by the cabbie gives extra weight to the ATM timestamp and video evidence.
