They all thought he did it.
The homicide detectives. The jail guards. Even his mother-in-law.
No matter what Lawrence "Larry" O'Rourke told them, they all thought he was a killer.
O'Rourke could not remember what happened in his apartment that night in early November, but he was not the one who killed his wife. She was the only woman who ever made him feel whole.
But the police had the evidence and their man. They had little reason to question their case until Tuesday, when a man walked into a Salvation Army 500 miles away and asked for a bus ticket to Las Vegas. The man said that he had done something bad and that the wrong man was paying for it.
O'Rourke's lawyers at the Clark County special public defender's office celebrated the news.
O'Rourke will be able to die "with a much clearer mind and clearer heart," said Randy Pike, assistant special public defender.
