for this jobrite is landis. everybody wants landis. he chased down the iww and the socialist party during the war. it helped save baseball when there was a third league being formed in 1914-1915. johnson does not want landis because he is too strong of a guy. he will never be able to control landis. nobody did. he wants mcdonald. hoping this grand jury will elevate mcdonald to be the star of the show. he is not the star of the show. he is never going to overshadow landis. what they do is immediately get into investigating the black sox. three of the players confess to the jury. williams, weaver, and jackson. a bunch of people are indicted. the players and the gamblers. they are eventually acquitted. they are all acquitted. the acquittal is -- well, there is a scene in the movie "eight men out" where it is revealed that the grand jury confessions have been stolen. the prosecution has no basis for prosecution. a misstatement. they were missing but they were immediately reconstructed from stenographers' notes so they did not impact the tr

he is never going to overshadow landis. what they do is immediately get into investigating the black sox, three of the players -- williams, weaver, and jackson. a bunch of people are indicted. the players and the gamblers. they are eventually acquitted. they are all acquitted. the acquittal is well, there is a scene in the movie eight men out where it is revealed that the grand jury confessions have been stolen. a misstatement. they were missing but they were immediately reconstructed from stenographers notes so they did not impact the trial at all. what did impact the trial was the judge -- the presiding judge of the trial said you cannot use these confessions by these three guys, jackson, weaver, and cicotte against the other players and you must also prove the intent. the intent that they were going to defraud people. how do you prove intent? how do you know what is going on in someone's mind? that kills the chances for a conviction. in two hours and 47 minutes, the jury comes back and they say acquitted. all the black s
