The proceedings included a dramatic confession by the actual shooter, Chad Brandon McZeal, a gang member who’s serving a life sentence for murder in an unrelated case, the defense team said.

The convictions of Glass and Rayford relied heavily on the testimony of just two witnesses who later recanted their stories.
