The next day because of Wilhelm’s dying declaration, the police brought Miller in for questioning. Initially, Miller told the police our prearranged alibi; that Miller and I met Wilhelm at McDonald’s Restaurant, that after the meeting Miller and I left together, leaving Wilhelm there alone, and that I then drove Miller home. After the police interviewed Miller, they came to my office to corroborate the alibi that Miller gave them. I spoke to two police officers and told them the alibi somewhat differently. The discrepancy concerned where we met before we went to the restaurant to meet Wilhelm. The police left me, returned to the police station, and confronted Miller with the discrepancy. Miller broke down and told the police that he was present when Wilhelm was killed but that he was not the assailant. Miller told them that I was the killer. The combination of Miller’s statement and my attempt to give him an alibi led to my arrest for murder.
