For example, Tice had confessed that six men had used a claw and hammer to break open the door to Moore-Bosko's apartment, but police found no signs of forced entry or struggle. Deborah Boardman, a lawyer from the high-powered Washington, D.C., law firm Hogan and Hartson who worked on the case, hopes the judge's decision will confirm for the Governor that the other sailors are innocent and grant them full relief...
