NEW YORK – Marty Tankleff is finally free and clear of the murders of his parents in Long Island, New York. Marty was arrested the very morning he was to begin his senior year in high school. He was 17-years-old, the year was 1988. A gallon of gas cost just about a dollar. A movie ticket 5.50. There were no PCs, no cell phones. The world has changed a lot. But one thing hasn’t. We still don’t know who killed Seymour and Arlene Tankleff. We don’t know because the district attorney doesn’t want to know, hasn’t bothered to look in the obvious places. A cursory reading of the facts points to the company Marty’s father kept. Leads are there to follow. But the D.A. never has because they don’t want to own up to their miscarriage of justice – a case and a conviction based on a false confession from a boy whose parents had just been murdered. –Jami Floyd, In Session anchor Filed under: Jami Floyd Last Word |
