Synopsis

The quiet of Hanford, California, shattered in 1962 with the brutal murder of Marlene Miller, a fifteen-year-old girl. Peace in the small town was irrevocably lost. Booker T. Hillery was convicted, but the case would endure decades of appeals. Finally, in 1983, a retrial was ordered. Advances in forensic science, specifically the microscopic analysis of evidence, provided the means to definitively link Hillery to the crime scene.
