I normally have a like/dislike relationship with Propublica. There are stories I like and those I don't like, which I guess, might make them a good site.
In any case, I really liked this, rather long, explanation of what happened. I learned a lot.
Even though I suspect there was journalistic license used, I appreciated how the author discussed the human aspect of the incident and the individuals.
