About This Book

This account traces the arrests, trials, appeals, forensic testing, and political fallout surrounding the prosecution and execution of two men accused of a payroll robbery and murder in Massachusetts. It reconstructs the investigation and courtroom proceedings, examines ballistic evidence and expert testimony, and follows successive motions, committee reviews, demonstrations, and international reactions that transformed the case into a polarizing social symbol. The narrative weighs competing interpretations of the evidence, details post-conviction inquiries and confessions, and situates the controversy within broader debates about due process, political fear, and the role of public opinion in the administration of justice.
