He also was not found at the scene of the crime,it was hours later at least 2 miles away.

Re: Home invasion/weak case
You cannot predict a jury verdict--you never know what that particular group is going to think about the facts. It also depends on your friend's attorney--those are good facts for the defense, but he needs a good attorney to highlight the right things in court.
