We dissect the murder trial of Bob Robideau and Dino Butler who were acquitted by an all-white jury of twelve in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after a period of intense deliberations that almost resulted in a hung jury and retrial. This is the story of how an all-star defense team, a celebrity peanut gallery, and a plucky community organizing effort combined to produce one of the most unlikely legal victories in the history of the United States.
