Marty Tankleff had just turned 17 when he was arrested for killing his parents,
Seymour and Arlene Tankleff, in their home on Long Island, NY. Based on a
dubious, unsigned "confession" extracted from him following hours of
interrogation by a detective with a questionable background, Marty was convicted
and sentenced to 50 years to life. After 17 years in prison, Marty's conviction
was vacated by the New York State Appellate Division, Second Department, in
December of 2007. On July 22, 2008, a judge signed off on a motion by Attorney
General Andrew Cuomo to dismiss all charges against Marty.

minor, as it may form a piece of a larger puzzle.
