Jessica McBride interviewed Marvin Bizzelle one of the jurors in the Georgia Thompson case. It is quite a look into one man’s perception of Gov. Doyle’s administration. He completely discounts the Democratic Party’s talking points which claim that Thompson was a “lone gunman” acting alone.
The juror said that all of the jurors agreed that people […]
