4. Of the two of the nine key witnesses who have not changed their story publicly, one has kept silent for the past 20 years and refuses to talk, and the other is Sylvester Coles. Coles was the man who first came forward to police and implicated Davis as the killer. But over the past 20 years evidence has grown that Coles himself may be the gunman and that he was fingering Davis to save his own skin.

2. A Michigan employee was fired for leaving his post to help a man extinguish his car fire, and those who support Good Samaritans want to know why.
David Bowers, 62, is a retail greeter at Meijer, a Midwest chain retail store. He was fired after he left his designated area during a shift in mid-November to help extinguish a car fire in the parking lot. The man whose car he saved, Ken Kuzon, wants to know why a do-gooder like Bowers should be punished, reports The Associated Press.
Can someone like Bowers be fired for being a Good Samaritan?
Bowers, like many employees, was likely hired by Meijer as an “at-will” employee, meaning that he could be fired by his employer on the spot for almost any reason.
In a statement released by Meijer, the retailer explained that employees need to follow “well-established safety procedures for emergency situations,” and suggested that Bowers violated these rules when he left his post to put out the car fire, reports the AP.
