This is a terrific story. Not terrific for any parties involved, but a well-written and well-told _story_. For any of you that just skimmed it - it's worth going back and reading the whole thing.
With lots of journalism these days it's terribly easy to give up on the storytelling part and stick to dry facts. Sometimes the case calls for that, but other times the weaving of the tale can be the best part.
Here, the reader is brought along for the ride - we're led to believe one version, then learn some dramatic differences that arose during the trial. Fun and worthwhile.
