Produktinformationen zu „Steven Truscott (ePub)“
Steven Truscott was fourteen years old in 1959 when an Ontario court sentenced him to hang for a brutal murder he didn't commit.
In June 1959, the dead body of a missing twelve-year-old girl named Lynne Harper was found in a woodlot in Clinton, Ontario, a small community near a military base.
Police zeroed in on Steven Truscott, a fourteen-year-old classmate who gave Lynne a bike ride the night she was murdered. Steven maintained his innocence throughout a tough police interrogation and a speedy trial.
Despite a lack of physical evidence connecting him to the crime, a court convicted Steven of murder and a judge sentenced him to hang.
The sentence was commuted, and doubts grew about the case. New research pointed to a wrongful conviction - a conclusion that gave Steven hope as he fought to clear his name.
A shocking story about a terrible crime in a small-town and the awful miscarriage of justice that followed.
