The murder of a police officer is rare, but what makes this case even more unusual is that the murder took place 35 years ago, during a time of racial turmoil. The judge in the case has said he only wants to hear about the crime -- not the times, but the two may be difficult to separate. Minnesota Public Radio's Toni Randolph talked to people who remember what St. Paul was like 35 years ago and she has this report.
