The Boston Globe has a long, disturbing feature on Hank Hendricks, the backup quarterback from the University of New Hampshire and protege of Doug Flutie who now faces murder charges for his role in beating a student to death in his upscale hometown of La Jolla, California. Hendricks was not one of the aggressors, but he was there when the fight and death happened and took a few steps that could be construed as leading to a coverup. Flutie continues to vouch for the young man and expects his exoneration.
