SYNOPSIS: On January 7, 1946, six-year-old Suzanne Degnan was abducted from her North Side Chicago home, never to be seen again. The discovery of her dismembered body later that day caused widespread fear in the city. As police spent thousands of manhours investigating, Chicagoans anxiously watched over their children--and themselves. Six months later, seventeen-year-old William Heirens, a University of Chicago student, was arrested in a burglary. For six days the police strained to build a case, while keeping Heirens locked up. He was isolated, threatened, injected with sodium pentothal, the "truth drug," and given a spinal tap. Through the whole ordeal he maintained his innocence. But six weeks after his arrest, the teen-ager confessed to the Degnan crime and the murders of two women, Frances Brown and Josephine Ross. Why? In William Heirens: His Day in Court, Dolores Kennedy offers proof that the defense attorneys conspired with the prosecution to coerce a confession from the teen-ager--while a frenzied press tried Heirens and convicted him, eliminating any possibility of a fair trial. Bill Heirens was sentenced to three life terms. After forty-five years, the question persists: Should he ever be paroled? Heirens has been a model prisoner and was the first Illinois inmate to earn a college degree, and many experts agree continuing incarceration is futile. But the emotions of this case run deep. Many people still want Bill Heirens kept in prison. For good. To avoid the death penalty, Bill Heirens confessed to the three murders. It was the only way he could save his life. But Bill still maintains his innocence. Did he commit these murders? You be the judge. In this book Dolores Kennedy presents all the facts. The Heirens story will startle even those who have spent a lifetime believing he was guilty. At last Bill Heirens will receive what the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois could not give him in 1946--a fair trial. Dolores Kennedy, a graduate of the University of Illinois journalism school, was a legal secretary to the attorney for the Degnan family when she first met William Heirens. She subsequently founded a committee to work for Heirens' release. This book, her first, is the culmination of several years of research and investigation. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The book includes a 1996 typed and signed letter from William Heirens. Some of the letter states " 8-16-96 Dear Mr. Thank you for your offer of support. to do so, a letter to our governor would be effective. I have a petition for executive clemency pending before our governor which hasn't been acted on yet. the letter can be very short. Just explain that you saw the case on Prime Time Live and based on that you believe that I should be released since the governor's office is aware of the Prime Time Live coverage. The governor's address is " Governor Jim Edgar, 207 State Capital Blgd. Springfield, IL 62706. The FAX is xxx xxx-xxxx. If any of your friends who saw the Prime Time Live show and feel the same as you do, a letter from them to the governor would be helpful. I doubt the governor will read such letters. In situations as this his office staff reads the letter and informs him of the contents. In other words the governor will be interested in the number of letters in my favor as well as the number of those not in my favor. Sincerely, Bill Heirens". Inscribed by Author(s).
