...days after the torture session and before Alex Rackley was murdered, Lonnie McLucas had numerous opportunities to "do something" about Alex Rackley's situation. State's Attorney Markle considered McLucas' failure to do something, along with the three actions which he admitted performing, proof of his complicity in a plot to murder Rackley; tree likelihood of his explanation depends on the context in which one sees the Black Panther Party, Lonnie McLucas and George Sams...
