Reporters are supposed to present
new facts. What happened in the trial is a matter of public record. You can find that out on your own. What was not on public record was the case's investigator and his boss and their opinion of his innocence. That is startling.
A common misconception is that the DA is always on the up and up. The DA's job is not to seek justice. It is to get convictions and get re-elected. Face that.

But you're still missing my point, Tefero didn't have to pull the trigger to be found guilty. The best case you can make is that Rhodes also should have been sentenced to death.

You are forgetting something. There is no evidence to suggest that Tefero used the weapon or coerced someone to use the weapon, except for the testimony of the very man that you claim is not a reliable witness. This is the same man who testified against Terfero having gotten a deal, then confessed to the crime without such a bribery years later when he didn't need to. Why admit to something you didn't do without being coerced?
Simply being present at the crime without using the weapon or coercing someone to use it is not enough to establish guilt in a country where you are presumed innocent until proved guilty.
