What a charade this whole process has been.  Can any objective person wonder why the public has grown cynical and surly about government and the legal system?

Remarkably, the Zerby shooting was the first major story covered on BSN Patch - it launched the site, effectively.  The shooting received extensive coverage and active community commentary for months.

This early story included crime scene video shot by a staff reporter.  Can you find it?  It no longer appears - thanks to the Patch 2.0 upgrade, which scrambled much content and ALL important comment history making it mostly incoherent and useless.

So, an important local story - well covered initially by a Patch editor in collaboration with local citizens - languishes and expires, mute.
