In 1981, two teenagers raped and murdered a 12-year-old girl in Maple Street Park. In 1982, two men bludgeoned a rowdy bar patron and left him for dead in the Winooski River. In Barre, a man pleaded insanity after fatally shooting his downstairs neighbor because he \"always had it in his head to kill someone.\" Simpson details the prosecutions of a pedophilic priest, a violent cult, a cleaver-wielding assailant, and other brutal and tragic offenders who brought incalculable pain and suffering to their communities. Amongst all these devastating stories, however, is the one of hope: Vermont juries delivering justice and shaping the system we rely on today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Onion River Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781966607069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Bob Simpson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45483980325045,"sku":"9781966607069","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4bb88a4e-4562-4de3-9b4c-fe8095a37911.jpg?v=1749566035","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/small-town-prosecutor-trials-of-killers-con-men-and-a-priest-9781966607069","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
