By the time Burrow quit- -just days after the Memorial was dedicated- -the Foundation was nearly six million dollars in debt. The full extent of it was was owed wasn't known until he was gone.
Burrow was indicted a year later. The trial ended in a hung jury, though seven jurors voted to acquit.
Now, Burrow -once again- -stands charged with Mail fraud, Wire fraud, Bank fraud and Loan Application Fraud.

Meanwhile the Memorial Foundation is making what Burrow's successor calls "steady progress" toward getting out of debt. Half that 5-point-9 million dollars in debt has been paid. And the Foundation is now operating in the black, according to Bill Macintosh.
