Synopsis
The stunning story of two vicious murders, a recanted confession, a troubled law enforcement system, and one man's fight for freedom, "A Criminal Injustice" is a must read for anyone interested in current affairs and the American legal system. 8-page bw photo insert., When he went to bed on the night of September 6, 1988, seventeen-year-old Marty Tankleff was a typical kid in the upscale Long Island community of Belle Terre. He was looking forward to starting his senior year at Earl L. Vandermeulen High School the next day. But instead, Marty woke in the morning to find his parents brutally bludgeoned, their throats slashed. His mother, Arlene, was dead. His father, Seymour, was barely alive and would die a month later. With remarkable self-possession, Marty called 911 to summon help. And when homicide detective James McCready arrived on the scene an hour later, Marty told him he believed he knew who was responsible: Jerry Steuerman, his father's business partner. Steuerman owed Seymour more than half a million dollars, had recently threatened him, and had been the last to leave a high-stakes poker game at the Tankleffs' home the night before. However, McCready inexplicably dismissed Steuerman as a suspect. Instead, he fastened on Marty as the prime suspectindeed, his only one. Before the day was out, the police announced that Marty had confessed to the crimes. But Marty insisted the confession was fabricated by the police. And a week later, Steuerman faked his own death and fled to California under an alias. Yet the police and prosecutors remained fixated on Martyand two years later, he was convicted on murder charges and sentenced to fifty years in prison. But Marty's unbelievable odyssey was just beginning. With the support of his family, he set out to prove his innocence and gain his freedom. For ten years, disappointment followed disappointment as appeals to state and federal courts were denied. Still, Marty never gave up. He persuaded Jay Salpeter, a retired NYPD detective turned private eye, to look into his case. At first it was just another job for Salpeter. As he dug into the evidence, though, he began to see signs of gross ineptitude or worse: Leads ignored. Conflicts of interest swept under the rug. A shocking betrayal of public trust by Suffolk County law enforcement that went well beyond a simple miscarriage of justice. After Salpeter's discoveries brought national media attention to the case, Marty's conviction was finally vacated in 2007, and New York's governor appointed a special prosecutor to reopen the twenty-year-old case. At the same time, the State Investigation Commission announced an inquiry into Suffolk County's handling of what has come to be widely viewed as one of America's most disturbing wrongful conviction cases. As gripping as a Grisham novel,A Criminal Injusticeis the story of an innocent man's tenacious fight for freedom, an investigator's dogged search for the truth. It is a searing indictment of justice in America.

- i***f (30)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoExcellent customer service from the seller. The item arrived in its original packaging, just as the listing stated. But upon opening and attempting to use, discovered that the tracker was defective. Reached out to the seller with all the specifics, and was issued a full refund as well as an apology, without any hassles. So refreshing and made my day to receive such great service. Will definitely buy from this seller again.

- _***6 (1)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI did not receive a response when I tried to contact the seller initially to ask a question. However, I am glad that I went ahead with the purchase anyway. The book condition is exactly as described - excellent all around condition - no marks at all. It actually appears to be new and unread even though it was printed over 20 years ago. It was also packaged well and shipped promptly. - Very happy!Oxford ASTRONOMY ENCYCLOPEDIA Sir Patrick Moore (N° 395100635458)
