It was a busy week in the small town of Canton, New York.  A murder trial was in progress with dozens of reporters in town to cover the proceedings.

Dateline NBC will air an episode that will focus on the terrible crime and trial that resulted from the 2011 murder of 12-year-old Garrett Phillips of Pottsdam.   "The Accused" will air at 9 p.m. and will cover the time between the murder, the arrest of the suspect and the outcome of the trial of former Clarkson University soccer coach Oral "Nick" Hillary.  Hillary was arrested more than 2 years after the murder of the boy, and it took another 3 years to bring him to trial.

Hillary was acquitted of the violent murder by the judge in the case.  You can see the promo that NBC has for Friday's episode below.
