--I'm a detective back home. I know how this shit works. This accusation came from somewhere high in the Paladin ranks for you all to act on it so fast you don't even do basic research into the person you arrest. Someone who'd have a good reason to get the heat of them by targeting someone who, on surface level could seem like a good fit for the crime. A rookie mistake. You didn't do your due diligence, because, if you did--

You'd know he had a solid alibi because I live with him. [wow he said that a bit loud--] We always keep tabs on one another, and the animals at our apartment would make a hell of a noise if he tried to sneak out late at night to some 'secret lair' to do this shit. There's too many damn volunteers at the Conservatory for him to be trafficking animals or turning people into tacky crystal statues. We have several ex-soldiers who'd sooner report wrong doing to me than let it continue. You have the wrong man, so let him go.
