If the accused was not present at the time and place of the commission of a crime, but was so far away as to render it impossible for him to have committed it, and if he in no manner aided, abetted, assisted or advised the commission of the offense at any time, he certainly is innocent. This defense is commonly called alibi. In making out this defense the accused is not required to cover the whole of the time of the commission of the crime, so as to render it impossible for him to commit it; nor is he required to satisfactorily establish this defense under the rule in some of the states.5
