2 Cent OpinionSBMFF. If that was the case, then no one would ever be successfully framed for a crime, ever.

You miss the point. Everyone has an alibi if they are innocent, with one exception, the innocent person was at the crime scene in which case they become a witness.
If BK was framed he would have an alibi. Unless he was at the crime scene, he was somewhere else at 4:00am. Could he prove where he was? Maybe not but he could raise an alibi defense and try to prove his alibi.
Every wrongly framed/convicted individual has an alibi ---they were some place else -- but couldn't prove it with evidence.
"Alibi" as a Defense to Criminal Accusations in California
An alibi defense is where you present evidence that you could not have committed a crime because you were somewhere else when the crime occurred.

What evidence do you need to raise an alibi?
Proof of an alibi can vary depending on the nature of the alibi as well as what and who can be used to corroborate it. Here are the kinds of evidence that you can use to support your alibi claim:- Time-stamped photographs and video footage of the accused person at a different location when the crime took place. These are great alibi because they are objective evidence.
- A documented evidence of the accused person at a different location. These can include admission records if the defendant was at the hospital when the crime occurred or receipts indicating that the accused person was out shopping at the time of the crime. GPS and telephone records or credit card swipe records may also be used as an alibi.
- Witness testimony in support of the alibi. This can be extremely helpful when the accused person has a credible witness who can vouch for their whereabouts at the time the said crime took place. It works even better if the witness does not have any relations with the accused person.
