Also weighing in here on the events and players involved are prosecutors, defense attorneys, investigators, friends, and relatives of the victims and convicted felons. “New facts emerge, previously hidden motives are discovered, rare glimpses of humanity are revealed and strange twists of the United States legal system exposed.
