| Summary |
"About the conviction of four young Navy enlisted men to the rape and murder of a woman based on their confessions under what they claimed was duress. Their retractions of those confessions is supported by the analysis of false confession expert and co-author Richard Leo, and that all the perpetrator's DNA evidence in the case is traceable to a fifth man who has confessed several times to having committed the crime alone. As of October 2008 a clemency petition for the four men is pending with Virginia's governor." |
