I remember watching the news coming in across the teletype. I distinctly remember the description of the personal effects belonging to Bill Pogue. Pocket knife he carried, etc. I still feel the anger towards that Idaho “jury”! One of the worst miscarriages of justice ever…for such a heinous murder.
