Just imagine where this case would be if :
There were no ATM or taxi or dorm records;
the kids didn't have the cash to make the $400,000 bond;
the kids' families didn't have the cash to hire investigators to thoroughly research the AV
the kids had to rely on inexpensive lawyers or public defenders;
(the DA would have sent them away for years, and been a great hero to the community).
And that, is scary. . . and what makes Durham scary, until this is fixed . . .
Did someone have a gut feeling? I think so. I can picture them taking pictures INSIDE the joint...but outside??
