Miscarriage of Justice: The Murder of Teresa de Simone

9/24/2013

Picture
The murder was brutal--raped and strangled. The case was open and shut--a man had confessed to the murder, and he was easily convicted. There was a problem with the man's testimony, however...he was a pathological liar who had confessed to over 200 other crimes--many of which never happened.

For over 27 years, Sean Hodgson, the convicted murderer, sat in prison for a crime he didn't committ. The real killer, 17-year-old David Lace, had also confessed to the crime, but police didn't believe him.

This gripping short book takes the reader on the hunt for the real killer, and reveals the creation of Operation Iceberg--the operation that led to the DNA review of over 240 other convictions.

The Real Life Fugitive: Sam Sheppard and the Original Trial of the Century

9/18/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
The crime was unthinkable: a respected doctor is convicted of brutally murdering his pregnant wife. The trial that followed was a media circus--one often compared to the O.J. Simpson trial. The popularity of the case would go on to be one of the alleged inspirations of the TV show "The Fugitive" (and later the Harrison Ford movie of the same name)—something the creators deny, but fans insist is true.

This book proves that truth is always more interesting than fiction. It looks at the murder, the suspects, and the ultimate outcome of one of the most notorious murders of all time.
