They also argued that the ammunition found in the car was of a different brand than that used in the murders, but for that matter, two different types of shotgun shell had been used inside the bar. Lesra Martin and John Artis, recognizing a good thing when they see it, have also joined the lecture circuit. In his opinion (that is, his written explanation for his decision) Larner notes that Bello singled out DeSimone "as the one law enforcement officer who pressured him into lying at (the) trial."

Carter did not leave the Army wearing a uniform covered with good conduct and service ribbons. And he was about to get a lucky break.

His release had nothing to do with proving the case was built on "forgeries and lies," as the lawyers for Carter claim in the final courtroom scene. DeSimone had given no guarantees to either man, other than the guarantee that he would try his best to help them, but the defense had been deprived of the chance to argue to the first jury that Bello and Bradley were only testifying for these favors, and therefore had a motive to lie on the stand.

Furthermore, Bradley was not present at the taping. Carter was damaged as much or more by the credibility problems he created for himself, as he was by Bello's shaky testimony. He discovered he enjoyed reading and surprising people with his newfound vocabulary. Carter's defense, which relied so heavily on Bello and Bradley's recantation, blew up in his face. Artis had nothing to do with attempts to bribe Bello and Bradley into recanting their testimony. Carter's lawyers filed a new appeal. Should he have prosecuted Bello for attempted burglary or stealing the money from the bar, and thrown away any chance of getting his testimony about what he saw at the Lafayette Grill that night? Prison psychiatrists described him as a sociopath, "almost completely lacking in controls projecting responsibility for his failures on society and the law.".

He faced the second trial without Ali, Dylan, Dyan Cannon, or any of the other celebrities who had been proclaiming his innocence. Pulling on a raincoat, Valentine heads downstairs and through a side door. But Carter was a more flamboyant public figure than Liston and in the racially charged atmosphere of Paterson, New Jersey, in 1966, that was a dangerous thing.
