"The accusers, who were 5 and 6 at the time of the trial, recanted their earlier
testimony and said their grandmother told them to say Smith was responsible for
the abuse rather than their 9-year-old cousin. The cousin, who can't be
prosecuted because of his age at the time of the crime, is serving a life prison
sentence for murder. The grandmother has died."
Something tells me sheltering the 9 year old cousin backfired...
