State of Iowa v. Alex McGee

I would have found Alex innocent if I were a juror.  This case was very vague, but I don't think there was enough evidence to incriminate Alex.  He didn't have an alibi for the time the murders took place because Stan claimed he never saw him leave work that night and no one was there to see him arrive home.  Alex had to motive, capability, and opportunity to kill his wife and maid, but that doesn't necessarily mean he did.  He was a very small, nice guy so I don't think he would want to kill his wife.  He had reportedly been drinking the night of the murder (according to the testimony of his best friend), which may explain his strange behavior.  Alex may not be innocent, but he couldn't have been proved guilty with the evidence given.
