for the other side of the MacDonald case--an argument that the
prosecution mishandled key crime-scene evidence, withheld potentially
exculpatory material, and discounted confessions from other

alternate theories. And the judge, Franklin Dupree Jr. appeared
to have been biased in favor of the prosecution.
