Won't Give Credible Alibi is when an accused has an alibi that can absolve them of an accusation or crime but will not give it.

There are multiple reasons why a person won't give their alibi. Maybe their alibi can convict them of a crime they actually did commit. Maybe they are protecting someone. Or maybe their alibi is too embarrassing to reveal.

If pressure enough, the accused may finally reveal their alibi. Usually this happens near the climax of a story. Otherwise a third party, often a trusted individual who may have been told the accused secret, will prove the accused innocence.
