The four were convicted of murder, kidnapping, sodomy, and rape
and were sentenced to death. A subsequent investigation by the
Detroit News uncovered lies by the prosecution's star witness,
perjured identification given under police pressure, and the use
of poorly administered lie detector tests. A state district judge
dismissed the original indictments and the men were released
after the murder weapon was traced to a drifter from South
Carolina who admitted to the killing. (Detroit News Magazine,
1/11/76 and Detroit News, 12/16/75).
