Then I would feel the need to explain how it was that I couldn't have done the crime.

I would look at it more like Kane is saying. You'd eventually be trying to explain how it wasn't you... but how would you do it? You wouldn't have anything more than a few short answers. "I was at XZY watching the game... if you don't believe me, you can call them". You wouldn't have much more than that. When people are lying, they take things many many many times further and the answer is almost never "uh... i have absolutely no clue, how could i possibly know that?"
