During the incident, a man and woman were robbed outside the One Stop store, located at 2525 NW 6th Street, the statement said.

Holmes was arrested on Oct. 6, 1988 and convicted after a jury trial the following April and sentenced in May, officials said. Sidney Holmes walks out of prison after his sentence and conviction were overturned.CBS 4
According to the statement, Holmes was found guilty of being the driver for two unidentified men who robbed the pair at gunpoint outside the store, and stealing the man's car.

Prosecutors determined that Holmes had a "plausible claim of innocence" because of how he became a suspect and because of the precarious eyewitness identification that was the principal evidence against him at trial.



I don't know if he's innocent or guilty but if this is all there is to it, Why the ridiculously long sentence?? I'm thinking 10 years maybe.

That was a short 400 years.
