We know that the three men planned to rob a liquor store. One went in and shot dead the clerk with a .357. Two of the accomplices testified it was Jones, a man who while in prison before had doused another inmate in gasoline and lit him ablaze. Jones spent a lot of time in prison prior to this murder.
The prosecution took the testimony of the other two men along with a hair and determined it was Jones who was the shooter. DNA testing eventually showed that the hair belonged to the murdered clerk.
Now, there was no question the three men planned to rob the store and one of them murdered the clerk since the three men, including Jones, admitted to that. The question is which of the two men who drove there pulled the trigger.
Two testified Jones did it, and with his violent history, I would bet he did.
Now, what evidence is there proving it was the other man that pulled the trigger?

Please show me the evidence that he was innocent.
I'm not going to be jumping to other cases until we wrap this one up.
