The report is full of lurid new details about the scandal...
JUDGE JOHN DAVIES, AT LEAST, SEEMED RELIEVED. "That's it, ladies and gentlemen," he exulted. "You've heard all the evidence." With that, his case's terrible weight shifted from him to two juries: one of 12 citizens, the other of 9 million...
