The guy ultimately blamed for building the bomb was just some random homosexual who the intended victim's son had met exactly once and who had recently graduated from MIT.

This being the early 1990s, the cops and the prosecutor and the jury all "knew" that gays were dangerous social deviants, and, perhaps much more correctly, that anyone who went to MIT knew how to build a bomb.

Real travesty of justice, and we should all be glad the guy's sentence was reduced.
