For the last three years, the Pearl Project has been investigating the death of this beloved journalist. The information they have uncovered sheds a bright light on the belief that the suspects tried and convicted were either not directly involved, or in the case of the mastermind who was allegedly executed, not actually dead.
snip:
"At the same time they were building their case against Sheikh and the three others, investigators did not pursue leads provided by another suspect in custody. That man, Fazal Karim, allegedly was one of the guards holding Pearl hostage and was there during his slaying. Karim also led investigators to Pearl's grave.
But his account differed from the taxi driver's, thus threatening the prosecution's case against the four on trial. U.S. officials pushed the Pakistanis to restart the trial to include all the evidence, but the prosecutor argued that doing so would give the defense a huge advantage. So Karim's account didn't make it to court, and he was later set free."
