Editorial Reviews

In May of 1999, 18-year-old Hannah Hill left her home in Akron, Ohio and never returned. Six days after Hill was reported missing, police found her body in the trunk of her car. She appeared to have been beaten, strangled, and possibly raped. AMERICAN JUSTICE® shows how Hill's fate may be at least partially the responsibility of the police department--it took 48 hours to process the missing person's report filed by Hill's mother, and in that time, calls that would have linked the disappearance to an illegally parked car came in, but the connection was not made. And once her body was discovered, additional mistakes and oversights ultimately allowed her death to go entirely unpunished. The chief suspect, arrested less than 24 hours after Hill's body was found, was acquitted without the defense calling a single witness, and no further charges have ever been filed. From the early investigation to the trial, the story was a worst-case scenario for the justice system. In the end, it had failed Hannah Hill.
