...couple of times I had fights with them. I had to struggle and buck and go "Mmmmm!" because I had a cold. I had to make them understand that they couldn't completely cover my mouth, because I couldn't breathe. You'd get exhaust fumes underneath the truck. I was deathly afraid during one move that I was going to vomit -- I was very sick, and of course my mouth was taped up -- and that I would choke to death on my vomit. When we went to South Lebanon, it was four or five hours underneath that thing...
...doing, it opened up a 30-minute gap in Coleman's account. During that time, prosecutors argued, Coleman parked his truck, waded across a creek, climbed a hill the length of three football fields, raped Wanda twice, slit / her throat, then escaped unseen. The prosecutors offered no eyewitnesses and little proof to support this scenario. In a sense, the most important clues in this case may be the ones that were missing. Given the haste with which Coleman would have had to act, he might have been expected to leave telling signs behind. A fingerprint. A footprint. At the very...
Most shocking is the evidence the defense never presented. A few days after the murder, Keester Shortridge, who lived near the McCoys, found in the back of his truck a plastic bag stuffed with blood-soaked lilac sheets, two Van Heusen cowboy shirts and a pair of scissors.

Under the Supreme Court's current interpretation of habeas...
...campaign ran an ad in which a white woman, her purse gripped firmly in hand, hurried down an empty city street as an announcer said, "Freedom from fear is a basic right of every American. We must restore it." That spot was staged. The recent video of a white truck driver being beaten senseless by a marauding mob is real, and several Bush aides say they would "not be surprised" if some snappy voice-over were contrived to run along with that tragedy, played again and again in the fall as a reminder of the horror that awaits...
While Bush's strategists "would not be surprised" if the electorate sees a "white truck driver" ad, the Clinton camp has an image it will "definitely" use this fall. "What we're all about is the post-riot video," says deputy campaign manager George Stephanopoulos, "the shots of blacks and whites and Hispanics and Asians pushing brooms together in the cleanup. In a nutshell, that's our whole campaign. Everything else is secondary. The way to defeat wedge issues is with web issues. The Republicans are geniuses at playing to people's fears. But this is not 1988. Today...
