Most of the events of that era are so thoroughly polluted with politics and revisionism that I’m not sure I’d even accept someone showing me recovered diaries and so forth from the various parties involved as evidence, one way or another.

Now, if you showed me where the physical evidence was gathered up and re-tested, using modern means, like a mass spectrometer? That might be worthwhile. As it is, it’s a set of historical events you have to evaluate in context with the surroundings. The bombers might well have been framed, and they might not–Determining which is the more accurate answer is something I wouldn’t presume to do, without better evidence to hand.

The convictions in the aftermath of the riot are often called unfair. Sounds like it was pretty fair to me.
