Proof one didn’t commit a crime (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alibi

(Other definitions for alibi that I've seen before include "Defence that one was somewhere else at the time of a crime" , "Legal excuse" , "Evidence one was not at crime scene" , "Legal defence, plea" , "Excuse, defence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
