The only adult to witness the incident named another individual, Malcolm Shaw, as the assailant--however the defense attorney didn't call him to testify. Other witnesses claim that a person wearing a green jacket, struck the blow. Bell was wearing a black jacket. These points were not presented to the jury--and they might have changed the verdict--
