leofrankwasinnocentSome people will have you believe that Monteen Stover and NOT Jim Conley was the star witness at the trial.
WRONG!
There was ample enough proof that Monteen Stover arrived before Mary Phagan. Mary's trolley was several streets away from the factory at 12:07. In fact, it was really only Conley's word that strengthened the prosecution's claim that Monteen arrived before Mary. He testified, in other words lied, that he had seen Mary enter before Monteen.
Once again Jim Conley's testimony was the one the prosecution relied on.
