But
the federal prosecutors handling the case did not let the jury hear all
the facts. Instead, the prosecutors covered up evidence that could have
discredited many of Lyons' accusers. They never revealed that a convict
who claimed to have purchased hundreds of pounds of cocaine from Lyons
struggled even to identify his photograph. And they hid the fact that
prosecutors had promised to let others out of prison early in exchange
for their cooperation.
