It doesn't have a surveillance tape like the OKC pharmacy trial, but it does have FBI tapes and a lot of overturned drug-related sentences.
And they just went the jury deliberations.

You can read all of the crazy details here (http://www.tulsaworld.com/webextra/continuingcoverage/continuingcoverage.aspx?id=5), but in a nutshell, three Tulsa police officers (although one is retired) are accused of taking money during an FBI sting and planting drugs to get convictions.
The prosecutors had a fellow officer (who was also accused) testify against the other three, as well as FBI agents about the sting.
The defense had the officers testify, as well as their colleagues as character witnesses.
I thought the evidence was fairly straight-forward, but after hearing the defense, I wonder if there's any doubt in any juror's mind at this point.
