In 1958, 19-year-old Charles Starkweather went on a murder spree that paralyzed Nebraska, shocked the nation, and left 11 people dead. With him when he was captured was his 14-year-old ex-girlfriend Caril Fugate. The question soon arose, was Caril a kidnapped victim, or a heartless accomplice? County Attorney Elmer Scheele had already determined her guilt, pressing charges before she was captured. He and his deputies questioned her without offering her the chance to speak with an attorney. Two weeks later, one was at last appointed to her, John McArthur. McArthur became so convinced of Caril's innocence that he dove into the work; continuing to represent her pro bono even after she was given a life sentence. After 18 years, he was finally successful when she was released on parole. McArthur's files from the case were kept in his home office through the decades. This book reveals some of the more interesting elements found inside, and it serves as a supplement to the book Pro Bono: The 18-Year Defense of Caril Ann Fugate.
