I never believed it for one minute, never.

Bob was home, and it was a Friday night.

He's getting a lot of phone calls.

I thought this case should have never been charged.

Pretty much all of our witnesses grew up in fairly wealthy, well-to-do families, and it seemed to be an embarrassment that they had gone into East Detroit to buy marijuana.

But... We had a prosecutor's office that was very uncooperative in the face of overwhelming evidence of innocence.

Did that surprise you?

No.

It's an amazing ability to blind yourself to everything except what you want to look at.

Good morning, Your Honor.

Valerie Newman, State Appellate Defender Office.

When I got to the hearing, it was all-out warfare.

Would you please state your name for the record?

And why are you here today?

He was very forthcoming and said, sure, I remember that day.

They pulled up.

They were a wreck.

And they told me what happened.

And you just don't forget something like that.

The prosecution had nothing to contradict our theory, just absolutely nothing.
