Anatomy of a trial

Anatomy of a trial. As the jury deliberates we look at the trial of Philadelphia rap music promoter Alton Coles. A man accused of using his company Take Down Records as a front for a $25 million cocaine and crack distribution network. Prosecutors played more than 300 wiretapped conversations, and offered testimony from more than 40 witnesses during the six-week trial. We’ll talk with GEORGE ANASTASIA who is covering the trial for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Anastasia is a veteran crime reporter who has covered organized crime. His most recent book is The Last Gangster.
