    Does anyone know/remember what the initial coverage of the crime/trial was like? Was there any skepticism about his guilt, and/or the testimony implicating him?

    Off the top of my head, I remember that Ferguson's defense team was right out of the box with the "coerced testimony" thing.

    I'd like to know what the cops fabricated. I'm all for backing the blue, but shit like this makes my stomach turn.
