Some details of the case have been distorted, Associated Press reports.
Like a game of telephone, the story of the "Jena Six" appears to have gotten a bit mangled as it leaked from a small Louisiana town to worldwide recognition over the past nine months.
And while the central facts of the case — the hanging of nooses on a tree on the Jena High School campus and the racially charged fights between black and white students that culminated in six black teens being charged in December with attempted murder and conspiracy for attacking a white fellow student — have not shifted very much, other details have reportedly been lost in translation (see "Jena Six: What Sparked Protesters To Descend On Small Town In Louisiana?").
