First, you need to provide enough evidence to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Second, you must describe how you obtained your evidence lawfully. In other words, were your searches and seizures in compliant with the Fourth Amendment? And, were your confessions, if any, if compliant with the Fifth Amendment? Do that and you have a bulletproof report. [From publisher's description].

Terror in Ypsilanti : [electronic resource] : John Norman Collins unmasked. by Fournier, Gregory A.; Ciulla, Chris Andrew.;
Narrator: Chris Andrew Ciulla.Between the summers of 1967 through 1969, before the term serial killer was coined, a predatory killer stalked the campuses of Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan seeking prey until he made the arrogant mistake of killing his last victim in the basement of his uncle's home. All-American boy John Norman Collins was arrested, tried, and convicted of the strangulation murder of Karen Sue Beineman. The other murders attributed to Collins never went to trial, with one exception, and soon became cold cases. With the benefit of fifty years of hindsight, hundreds of vintage newspaper articles, thousands of police reports, and countless interviews, Terror in Ypsilanti: John Norman Collins Unmasked tells the stories of the other victims, recreates the infamous trial that took Collins off the streets, and details Collins's time spent in prison. Terror in Ypsilanti compiles an array of physical and circumstantial evidence drawing an unmistakable portrait of the sadistic murderer who slaughtered these innocent young women.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 342679 KB).
