	R. Budd Dwyer@Everything2.com
		Budd Dwyer was the Pennsylvania State Treasurer at the time of his death on the morning of January 22, 1987.
		Dwyer was charged among numerous other allegations, with accepting a kickback of $300,000, which was never received, and was only found on a disk belonging to Torquato who had been given a plea bargain along with several other high level officials.
		Perhaps Dwyer was indeed guilty of accepting a bribe, a kickback, but the one-sided trial that Dwyer was forced to endure was little more than a show trial and that in itself is enough of an injustice if America values a fair trial and justice.

		Analysis of the Dwyer tape and interviews conducted with Pennsylvania television news directors show that 18 of the 20 stations in the state that carry news used basically the same type and amount of footage in their evening newscasts.
