They reviewed the tape, and they are buying his being in Texas at the time of it.

They have no comment on it though.

Because an innocent man was not charged with a shooting?

Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office didn't file an official reason for refusing the charges and declined to comment on the case. Prosecutors made the decision after receiving video showing that Allen was in Texas at the time of the park shooting, a criminal justice system source told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.

So the charges against an innocent guy are dropped, NOLA does something right for once

They still have 4-5 people locked up over this right? It's not like he was the only person arrested

He wasn't even in town the day of the shooting. In this case, he really did do nothing.

Short of that video, they would have run this innocent man through the system for life. Maybe even a death penalty. Prosecuters and cops are a scary entity together.

He must be a damn good shot to have hit people in NOLA from Texas.

Damn, if they put him in Texas, he's clear.

It's not often that video evidence makes someone look good.

He claimed he was in Houston the day of the shooting. His family hire a PI to get statements, video from the mall he was shopping at, credit card receipts, cell phone tower pings etc.

given the history of the justice system in new orleans I made an assumption. It appears I spoke too hastily in this case.

But I still can't wait to get out of this city

They had video of him in Houston the day the shooting happened.

He was only arrested because a witness said he was there.
