    The Spin


    Narrative A

    This odd and complex case suggests a tale of international intrigue. While the defense has argued the KGB uniforms were a Cold War-era prank, evidence of invisible ink, coded languages, and even maps showing US military bases point towards potentially a dark twist in this case. Ties to Soviet and Russian intelligence must be investigated to the fullest.


    Narrative B

    Allegations of international espionage have been blown out of proportion and demonstrate absurd government overreach. The case will show that Primrose and Morrison endured personal and financial issues, including losing their then-Texas home to foreclosure in 1987. Bad choices were made - including identify theft - but spying for a foreign government wasn't one of them.
