Fairbanks 4 Advocates Guardedly Optimistic

Supporters of 4 men imprisoned for the 1997 murder of a Fairbanks teen are looking beyond a recent favorable court ruling.  Eugene Vent, George Frese, Kevin Pease and Marvin Roberts are serving multi decade prison sentences for killing John Hartman.  There was no physical evidence tying the men to the beating attack, and the case has long drawn questions about whether justice was served.    As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, the latest ruling involves an appeal by one of the convicted men.
