 Ruth Sheehan’s Silence is Sickening by William L. Anderson
The misconduct with Gell was so bad that the North Carolina legislature passed a law ordering the prosecutors to turn over all of their evidence to defense lawyers because prosecutors deliberately had withheld exculpatory evidence.
In the Gell case, governor Mike Easley (who shares your political views, by the way) was in charge of the prosecution team that withheld the evidence.
Moreover, in your own article about Gell’s retrial and acquittal it seems that you give the prosecution much more of the benefit of the doubt than they deserve even after all the misconduct was exposed.
