Bob Herbert column in NYT today - Darryl Hunt case - BIG RACISM [View All]

[MikeG]

Darryl Hunt heard the door to his prison cell open. He looked up and saw a captain of the guard. "You need to pack your stuff," the captain said. "You're being released in a few minutes."

It was Christmas Eve.

DNA had come to his rescue

This case should be on cable TV, not Kobi, Laci or MJ.
