INNOCENCE The True Story of Steve Linscott - Did He Do It or Did He Dream It?

Softcover. When Bible-school student Steven Linscott awoke from a terrifying nightmare one night in October, 1980, he did not know that he would soon be plunged into a real-life nightmare even more horrible. The next morning, a police officer knocked on the door of the Linscott apartment. He told Steven and his wife Lois that there had been a murder in the neighbourhood and that the police could use any help the neighbours could give. Had they noticed anything unusual? The Linscotts had nothing to report. As the young couple learned more about the murder of the nursing student, however, Steven remembered his dream. Was it a coincidence that it had contained images of a murderous attack or could it actually have been some kind of vision? Steven told the police about his dream on the remote possibility that it might help them find the killer. And thus began one of the strangest cases in the history of American justice. For Steven Linscott, preparing for missionary service in Papua New Guinea, suddenly found himself accused of murder, with his own dream used against him. He was found guilty and sentenced to 40yrs. in prison. 272pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Vg+
