Book Review: A Story That's Unraveling As Fast As Texas' Case
Summary: 1 Stars
Mitchell, an inexperienced writer, focuses on the alleged guilt of defendants Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen while ignoring the abuses of the Austin Police Department in this case: the many confessions coerced by detectives such as Hector Polanco (who was later fired for this), the fact that ballistics tests eliminated the gun taken from Maurice Pierce, and that fingerprint and DNA evidence doesn't match any of the original four teens accused for this crime...or more than 20 other people that the Austin PD investigated. In fact, over 50 people have "confessed" to the Yogurt Shop Murders.
Springsteen and Scott now await a second trial in Austin this fall, their original convictions having been thrown out. New DNA testing - unavailable at the time of their original trials - is again generating a profile that doesn't match up. Further testing is in progress on the girls' clothing and the rape kit taken from victim Amy Ayers.
Perhaps Mr. Mitchell's next piece should focus on this debacle of a case and why the Austin PD is more interested in pinning this crime on four other innocents that they thought looked good for it rather than hunting down the true butcher of these beautiful young women. Mitchell's book unfortunately perpetuates this travesty of a case rather than a depiction of true justice for four girls who deserve at least that much.
Innocence was indeed murdered on December 6, 1991....of the four young women who would be in their 30s today, their grieving families, and the four young men and theirs.
"Details still to come."
