donald trump, who never took a position on anything else, took out full-page ads, actually spent money -- he is notorious for not paying bills -- took out ads in newspapers and called for them to have the death penalty. after dna evidence proved none of the five were there, he still refused to back down. so one of the five, who is now a member of the city council, came on my show this weekend because, as we see these polls talking about black men moving away from trump, they need to know what they're moving toward. here's a man who committed himself to the execution of young black men, even when the evidence was the other way. here's a man that was -- many of us are adversaries of the stop and frisk policy. nobody was closer to rudy giuliani in stop and frisk than donald trump. young black men are looking at someone who has never regarded
An arrest made for the murder of Robert Baron Sr.The Baron Family waited a long time for justice.The District attorney says no one gave up on solving this case.
the evidence tells the story, or at least part of it. police say talbott was a rapist hunting for a victim. police think he may have befriended jay and tanya or may have threatened them at gunpoint. they ended up in jay's van, and once they were under the gun, they were helpless. he tied them up with the plastic zip ties he'd brought along for just that purpose. without knowing it, he left his dna on those plastic ties. he strangled jay. then he raped tanya, creating even more dna evidence. he shot tanya and then disposed of both bodies at separate locations. at some point, amid all this activity, talbott left a partial palm print on the back of the van. he really set out with a premeditated plan that day or that evening to carry out some --
and offered her a ride. he then attempted a sexual advance, which sierra either rejected or she may have asked for money. russell exploded, and sierra found herself fighting for her life. police believe russell used a tire iron from his car as the murder weapon. sierra scratched him during this altercation, creating the microscopic dna evidence that would ultimately produce the virtual image and land russell in jail. bouzigard: i'm proud of her. i knew she was a fighter. i knew she was, and she got that from me. she got something good from me. armentrout: the dna was there at the crime. it's a matter of interrogating the dna intelligently and rendering the output in a fashion that's useful to the police. narrator: in july of 2017, blake russell was charged with second-degree murder. while awaiting trial, he hanged himself in his jail cell,
very seldom is it just a random act of violence. in this particular case, that is exactly what this was. narrator: as the years pass since sierra's murder, detectives in calcasieu parish, louisiana, refused to let the case go. mcgee: it was so frustrating. i lived and breathed this case. i just felt so drawn to it. so we were open to everything that everybody had to say -- every tip, every idea. narrator: and that search for something new turned up a possibility when dna analyst monica quaal saw a web seminar from a cutting-edge forensics company called parabon nanolabs. quaal: we were contacted by a neighboring agency saying that they had some interesting science that a new agency was doing, and they were interested in sharing with us. narrator: parabon claimed that they could take dna evidence to a completely new level. they said it was possible to put a face on unidentified dna,
dozens of plastic zip ties, presumably used to bind both victims, and among the various items of tanya's clothing, one item stood out. scharf: they found tanya's pants, which eventually were found to have semen on the pant leg. narrator: they also took swabs from tanya's body during her autopsy. and so they kept some of the vaginal swabs, and they retained them, frozen, in the laboratory. narrator: but this was 1987, and dna science was in its infancy. in fact, the first-ever conviction using dna evidence happened in england just weeks before jay and tanya's murders. collins: when these murders happened in 1987, we weren't using dna testing. it hadn't been brought into the lab yet. narrator: despite being relatively unfamiliar with dna technology, analysts realized
when he was released. this whole case changed when new dna evidence emerged that links the crime to a completely different man. so, from the jail mr malcolm applied to the criminal cases review commission, the body that investigates miscarriages ofjustice. they rejected his application twice. their apology is significant, it's the first time they have put their hand up and said yes, we made terrible mistakes in this case. it's interesting they haven't published any deal tales of their report today, because there is a big public inquiry due to start next year so the commission doesn't want its findings today, which may be critical of the police for example, to influence the public inquiry yet to influence the public inquiry yet to come. mr melkersen said the apology is too late, it's added to his mental turmoil as he com continues his fight for accountability for what was done to him. , ., ., ., ~' i., china's economy grew much
