Description

On Would possibly 13, 1988, Stephen Roy Carr, a so-known as mountain man living in Michaux State Forest in south central Pennsylvania, shot two female hikers at the same time as they were making love at a campsite close to the Appalachian Trail. Rebecca Wight died On the scene. Claudia Brenner, in spite of five bullet wounds, survived to testify against her attacker.
In this book, H. L. Pohlman reconstructs the dramatic story of this murder case and traces its disposition in the course of the criminal justice system. Drawing on interviews with participants in addition to court records, he closely examines competing interpretations of the evidence. Was once the attack a hate crime? A sex crime? A category crime? On the same time, he shows how a broad range of substantive and procedural issues―from the rights of the accused to evaluation of potential mitigating circumstances―can influence the assessment of culpability in homicide cases.
