Even if the blood does not incriminate him, what about all the other evidence that linked him towards the murder?
-The camera equipment Liddy was using, that had Quinn's prints all over them, and were signed out in his name.
-Lack of alibi; he was there for the murder anyway.
-Phone messages; he may of deleted his own messages, but I am sure they could be recovered. Why would an innocent man delete messages from the victim?
-Quinn's attitude at the time. Maybe they didn't notice, but you could tell Quinn knew what was up at the time, and looked guilty.
-Motive? If they looked at bank records, I am sure they could of noted that Quinn was paying off Liddy for some reason. Possibly due to extortion, or something along those lines.
Maybe it's not the best circumstantial evidence, but there is no way he could slip that charge in one night.

While having his own department investigate the crime that he's suspected of doesn't sound plausible, the rest doesn't sound like grounds to charge someone.
When did Quinn's prints get on the camera equipment? As for Quinn checking out the equipment, it would be fairly easy to find out that Liddy forged his signature for that.
Lack of alibi doesn't mean anything.
Lots of people delete their messages after they hear them. Especially if they aren't important. No big deal there.
His attitude doesn't mean much. Certainly not grounds to convict based upon the fact that they look guilty.
I believe Quinn paid him in cash so there would be no paper trail there.
Aside from the blood, there was nothing directly tying him to the murder. Once the blood was proven to not be Liddy's, there was no grounds to hold him.
