Wonderful True Crime Story--and the Worst Crime was Done to Innocent Young Men This is an increbile life story--how politics, all the way to the state supreme court--nearly executed innocent young men, and what efforts to save them cost a police detective and the many lawyers who worked themselves to exhaustion. It gives a good idea of the problems faced by lawyers for innocent people, and why it takes so long to free them.There are many similarities to the story of freeing Marty Tankleff, also a victim of politics and corrupt police. For me, as I try to help young people esrly in their convictions, the lesson is: Never give up.. Essential Reading An indispensable case study of a miscarriage of justice. Will interest all who care about judicial reform and abolition of capital punishment.
"This is the first comprehensive account of the most extraordinary criminal case I know - the infamous Nicarico murder -and the 12-year crusade for justice which it inspired. The two men who were on the scene the longest, and who probably know more about this case than anyone else, have written a gripping, provocative, often moving account of how great evil -and good-came to take place." --Scott Turow
The book follows the story from the day the crime occurred to the groundbreaking trial of seven law officers accused of conspiring to deny Cruz a fair trial.The kidnapping of Jeanine Nicarico from her quiet suburban home and her brutal slaying sparked a public demand for justice. Here is the most thorough investigation yet published into the background of the man who-after Cruz already was on Death Row-claimed to be the real killer.. This is a detailed study of a nationally known case that should be cited whenever serious scholars examine how capital cases are prosecuted in America. But the longer authorities strove to execute Cruz and the two other men, the more evidence emerged that the defendants were innocent-and that the death penalty process in America itself was deeply flawed.Here is the start of a chain reaction that led to a moratorium on the death penalty in Illinois and the clearing out of Death Row, as Illinois Governor George Ryan-worried about unfairness in death penalty convictions-granted clemency to all those awaiting execution. This updated and significantly expanded edition of Victims of Justice tells the pivotal story of Cruz and his two co-defendants after the 1983
