Curb Your Prison Sentence

Yes, you read it right - a man wrongly accused of murder was rescued by un-aired footage from an episode of Curb Your Enthusiam, which provided him with an alibi, since it showed him in a crowd at a baseball game.

It's kinda funny, sure (especially since Curb is one of my favorite shows), but read the whole article, and it makes you wonder: how many other wrongly-accused folks may be languishing in jail who don't have an episode of a sitcom to save them? Worse still, how many have been executed when a few inches of video could've saved them?

This guy was in jail for *murder*. Maybe we should be outraged rather than amused.
