Um, but... isn't this the guy who murdered several guards and robbed star wars fort knox though.

Like, maybe killing cops and stealing from the government isn't the most heinous crime, but he's hardly wrongly accused. I'll concede that they pegged him by accident and for different reasons -- but if anything, the moral is "arrest enough people at random and you'll get the real criminals too."

That was part of the irony of the show. He did the crime, he got away with it, then he was falsely accused of another crime and thrown in prison. The people who were hunting him were pretty frustrated because they couldn't find him, and they couldn't find him because he was in prison under an alias.

He was wrongly accused of the crime that sent him to prison. He did commit the other crimes, killing the 2 guards and robbing Star Fort Knox, but they never caught him for those crimes.
