This morning’s press conference about the new founds dedicated to the Parks and Recreation Department, was held to answer questions about the money and whether or not it was given under false pretenses. The money that was initially given to the Parks and Recreations department was to enforce tighter security in local parks when one of their own employees was injured. Local officials say that early on Saturday morning Jerry Gergich, the employee in question, had sustained multiple injuries including a dislocated shoulder and a black eye, while in a local park feeding the humming bird feeders as part of his job. Mr. Gergich claimed he was mugged by two unknown assailants on Saturday morning when giving his statement to police officers when

The suspect I will be talking about is Lydell Grant. Lydell Grant, a Houston man, was wrongfully convicted in 2012 for the murder of Aaron Scheerhoorn, who was fatally stabbed outside a Houston bar in 2010. Despite Grant's consistent claims of innocence and the lack of physical evidence linking him to the crime, six eyewitnesses identified him as the murderer, leading to his conviction and a life sentence. On December 10, 2010 Police were called to a club called Club Blur. Once police arrived at the club they found Aaron Scheerhoorn dead after being stabbed seven different times.

The prints were then connected back to 16 year old Morris A. Kent.

Gary Leon Ridgeway was born on February 18th, 1949 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is known to be one of the most infamous serial killers in American history. His nickname was “The Green River Killer” because he was known to dump many of the bodies in the wooded areas around the Green River (formally named the Duwamish River) in Washington State. He was convicted of 48 separate murders, but one more was added to that number as part of a plea bargain. Making 49 confirmed kills the most of any American serial killer ever. At one point he confessed to almost twice as many kills.
I will only be talking about the charge of first-degree murder that he is facing not the other charges against him. This case starts off at 10:30 pm. The date was May 14, 1992.

The Innocence Project illustrates and explains how someone can be imprisoned for many years, and then, suddenly be set free.

Gary Ridgway a serial killer would lure his victims in by getting there trust and making it seem like he cared in which he didn’t.
Gary stated in the prosecutor’s summary of the evidence that he had the urge to kill his third wife but he did not because the risk of getting caught was too great. Gary also had stated that he had picked up prostitutes that he had not killed, even after getting in “the mood”. He stated that he did this because other prostitutes had seen him pick them up and he did not want them being able to say that he was the last person with the victim. Even after getting caught in 2001 he made a deal with the prosecutor to tell him about the murders only after he was told if he did he would not face the death penalty. 7.
