BLOOMINGTON - Zachary Walsh won his second bid Tuesday to prove his innocence on charges that he beat, bound and robbed a man last year.
Walsh, 23, of Bloomington was found guilty in June but awarded a new trial in September after his lawyer disclosed that Walsh had documents proving he was at a Bloomington shoe store when the Jan. 6, 2008, robbery took place. The new evidence was brought to court the day Walsh was set to be sentenced on residential burglary and robbery charges.

In closing arguments Tuesday, prosecutor Kevin Sanborn said the victim identified Walsh from a police photo lineup. He said the work records did not provide a solid alibi.
Walsh was accused of breaking into a home in the 2000 block of East Jackson Street, wrapping a man's head with duct tape and taking about $200. A second suspect believed to have been involved was never arrested.

Defense attorney Harvey Welch told the jury that work records do not show any gaps in time when Walsh left and returned.
Welch also argued that fingerprints and a possible shoeprint did not match his client.
"Given the evidence that was presented, I believe the jury returned the proper verdict," Welch said after deliberations ended.
