Egger suggested to Eicher that they record displaced American jazzmen who had fled the rock-dominated music biz back home for the burgeoning jazz scene in Munich.

What apparently sowed the most doubt in jurors' minds was an FBI audio-analysis tracing the origins of 39 shots fired in the melee. The "shot chart" showed that roughly half of the shots-17 to 22-came from the Communists. "The shot chart," said Defense Attorney Percy Wall after the verdicts, "that's what...
