The minister went free. The author compiled the information and did her own research to expose this case of misjustice and ministerial abuse of trust. It was interesting also in showing how people then, as today, come forth as witnesses for the attention and recognition. The minister was so over-alibied that more time was accounted for than in the given time segment questioned. An interesting work of criminology and people.
