Beschreibung:
Steven Truscott was fourteen years old in 1959 when he was arrested for murdering twelve-year-old Lynne Harper. Despite a lack of evidence connecting him to the crime, Steven was sentenced to hang. The sentence was commuted, and doubts grew about the case as new research strongly suggested that Steven had been wrongly convicted.
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.
