Federal prosecutors decided to drop corruption charges against Brian Benjamin due to the death of key witness Gerald Migdol, making it impossible to prove the case.
The government acknowledged that it could no longer prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the case against Benjamin following Migdol's death, a pivotal moment for the trial.
Benjamin's attorneys highlighted that his vindication resembles the moral justice described by Martin Luther King Jr., reflecting hope amid legal struggles.
Migdol's passing affected the entire prosecution strategy, as he was integral to establishing the link between donations to Franklin and state funds.
