Gareth Peirce: [testifying in court] My lord, this alibi for Gerry Conlon was taken by Mr Dixon one month after Gerry Conlon was arrested. This note was attached to it when I found it in police files. It reads, 'not to be shown to the defence'.

Gareth Peirce: I have one question to ask you, Mr Dixon. Why was the alibi for Gerry Conlon, who was charged with the murder of five innocent people, kept from the defence?
