Read how a desperate DA tried to convict a man that had actually been accused of killing a giraffe in front of children on church grounds (among other things).
Read about how this poor falsely accused man spent 2 1/2 years of his life in jail without bail.
Read what politics can do to an innocent person.
But also read that an intelligent jury cleared him of all 35 counts in 7 hours.
Imagine being falsely accused and then spending 2 1/2 years of your life behind bars before the trial finally ends.
Incidentally, it was the longest trial in SD history and there appeared in the end to be not a single basis for it.
