Overview

Several monks are massacred at a Buddhist temple in Arizona in 1991. Four men from Tucson, referred to as the "Tucson Four", were initially charged with the crime and gave confessions under controversial conditions, including the actual murder weapon – connected to unassociated individuals who were ignored by authorities – being left untested by the sheriff's department. However, the "Tucson Four" later recanted the confessions and were released when investigators finally confirmed that they had nothing to do with the murders. Local teenagers Johnathan Doody and Allessandro Garcia were arrested and imprisoned.
