Even if he had no alibi and the witness did actually see him at the scene, that's still not evidence of him committing the murder.

It's also terrifying that you could end up sitting in prison for 6 months before even going to trial.

Well, he probably could have gotten out on a bail in order to not spend the 6 months before the trial in jail - though given that he was charged with murdering a minor, the bail would probably have been far too high for him to be able to procure.
