On this Minisode of The Injustice Files, we look at two cases. Anthony Towler, falsely convicted of child rape in 1982 and Keith Walker of South-Side Chicago convicted of murder in 1993
In story one, Towler is arrested for rape and assault of a young girl and her brother, respectively. Both were minors and helped to establish a composite sketch used by Park Rangers to arrest Towler, who did in fact resemble the sketch. After the two minors identified him as did two other witnesses, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole, finally exonerated in May of 2010.
In our second story, Keith Walker suffered the same experience as many other Black men in South-Side Chicago during the reign of Det. John Burge (see Episode 1 Spotlight on Justice segment) and his crew called the Midnight Crew. Walker was tortured for 2 days by the Midnight Crew which included beatings and electroshock to his body and genitals before he signed a typed confession to murdering a white man compiled by Burge's crew. His conviction was vacated in August of 2010 based on the use of torture.
