He had invented the story. Only recently, have the very slooow wheels of "Texas Justice" resulted in the release of the falsely accused Tulia citizens.

Now, if someone claimed that the MAJORITY of men in a community ran a bike store, people would instantly know the story is false. If the majority of men are selling bikes, the sellers would outnumber the customers. But, when an outrageous lie is told in a former slave state about Black males, the white judges, prosecutors, and juries are eager to pretend to believe the lie.
