 The juries in the Culhane-McGivern trials considered two versions of eyewitness testimony.In the investigation following the incident, the police did not conduct fingerprint tests on the weapons or other forensic tests which might have strengthened one eyewitness version of the account over the other.Following the hung jury in 1969, Harry Thayer publicly admonished the jurors on the air for not returning a verdict, calling it an example of "Lace Panty Justice," a term meaning "soft on crime".
