Greene County Prosecutor Bill Schenck and Assistant Prosecutor Suzanne Schmidt have said what everyone else was afraid to say: "Some cases beg for their day in court. This case needs to be aired." Schenck wants to get to the bottom of what led to the deadly raid. The testimony of Kevin Leitch and questions about why he changed his story seem like a good place to start. When Schenck meets with the investigators, he must convince them to hear the case again. This is the case of an innocent young man who was killed. Law enforcement officials took the word of a known criminal, who was awaiting sentencing on more than a dozen convictions. Whether you call this an accidental death or a homicide, answers are needed.
