Well, no matter how powerful or tightknit the Durham establishment is, they don't know who they are screwing with. The Framed are not just rich or previledged, but they are POWERFUL, nationally powerful, and powerful beyond party lines. The defense has at its head two symbols: the Republican-affiliated chairwoman of the LPGA (Rae Evans) and Bob Bennett.
Durham is a podunky town.
I don't envy this crime cabal.
I hope you are right, but I see no evidence of "coerced objectivity" to this point.
