achieved convictions and long sentences. the fbi, the local police, and the u.s. attorney s office simply want this case to be closed. but is it? tonight you decide. did the fbi catch all the suspects? did the fbi let one of them walk? and did the fbi make a mistake putting blame on a pizza delivery man whose secrets blew up in a parking lot? it was a hot thursday afternoon. jean hyde was expecting to see her brother at a party that night, but she had one errand to run. a quick trip on peach street, but there was trouble. police had blocked the road. cops and cars everywhere. she turned around and went home. i come home, and i tell my husband something happened up there.
together, there s no limit to what we can achieve. jean hyde says she has spent years trying to learn the truth from the one man she believes holds the key to her brother s innocence. his name is floyd a. stockton. a convicted sex offender who authorities say was living with bill rothstein on the day of the bank robbery. he goes by the nickname jay. jay stockton is a convicted rapist, serial sexual battery of his wife, and he s out there. he s out there, people. he is the only one left alive
the assistant u.s. attorney who prosecuted the case insists to us jay stockton would tell us what the federal government has proven in court. that brian wells was involved with the bank robbery. no one could have sat through this criminal trial without understanding the degree of evidence linking mr. wells to these particular participants. in fact, the same affidavit that implicates stockton repeatedly implicates jean hyde s brother. the suspects involved saying brian wells knew the plot all along, was involved in the planning, was part of the band of criminal misfits trying to rob a bank. jean hyde will never believe that. she believes her government is lying. they let an innocent man, my brother, die while in their custody and they didn t even lift a finger to help him. this case is going to be looked at for years to come.
