Maybe even just depositions would work.
The players' story can also be told in detailed books about the case--the public can get the truth, and their alibis, and learn about the corruption in Durham, from these.
Eventually the public will believe the truth--but in the Tawana Brawley case, there were still some supporters of the accuser for a time. Now, you can't find them anywhere. But that will probably happen in this case, too.
Al Sharpton? :-)
