[Janet Horner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Should be a must read for upcoming attorneys and police investigators. A lesson learned in letting an investigation lead you to a conclusion, rather than presuming you know the truth and steering an investigation to support your belief. A person's life - literally and figuratively - may be at stake. That's a burden that shouldn't be taken lightly.

Absolutely fascinating... More than enough proof to demonstrate the fact that an innocent man has spent more than 40 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
