| Penny Brummer - Wrongfully Convicted by bigotry and police tunnel vision |
Manitowoc, Wisconsin is one international focal point; Madison, Wisconsin is another.
Penny Brummer was convicted in 1995 for first degree intentional homicide and given a life sentence.
This is Madison, Wisconsin. The question advocates ask: Will a more enlightened community 20 years later give Ms. Brummer a new trial for a prosecution that should never have taken place?
That's really what advocates want because there is no chance in a million Brummer would be convicted today.
Bill Lueders has the story at Isthmus.
Writes Lueders:
Which brings us to Penny Brummer, convicted of the March 1994 murder of Sarah Gonstead, the best friend of Penny’s female ex-lover, after a night of barhopping. The case has all the hallmarks of wrongful conviction: No prior criminal history on Brummer’s part. No physical evidence tying her to the crime. No credible eyewitnesses, and one manifestly non-credible one.
Which Dane County jurist will come forward and champion justice, and save the life of an innocent woman in the process?
