The prosecutors are quibbling that the journalism students sat on the story for three years before breaking the news. I think I’ve heard of MSM projects with longer time lines than this.
Three years is about par for the course for prosecutors to actually get a murder case to trial, from the time of the initial arrest/charges. Why on earth should students, who have much less ready access to witnesses and information, take a shorter time to review the evidence behind a 30 year old case?
These prosecutors need to be smacked down hard.
