4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The district court concluded that the alibi witnesses would not have helped Melvin at trial because their testimony during the evidentiary hearing was vague with regard to time. Their testi- ■ mony,; .however, was consistent with Melvin’s account that he arrived at Saunders’ house too early to have participated in the shooting. Because their testimony buttressed Melvin’s account on this crucial point, it creates a reasonable probability that the fact-finder would have entertained a reasonable doubt concerning guilt. As it was, without any corroborating witnesses, Melvin’s bare testimony left him without any effective defense.”
