The Dragging Death

A Black man was walking home from a party late at night. Three white men in a pickup picked him up and put him in the back. Later he was chained to the truck and dragged about three miles along a country road. He died. The accused was one of the three. His DNA was on a cigarette butt at the scene, and the victim's blood was on his sandals. He has racist tattoos and a leading rank in a white-supremacist group. He says he was merely present and took no part in the crime.
