In November of 1980 in St. Joseph, Missouri, library worker Patricia Jeschke was found brutally murdered in her home. Psychiatric patient Sandra Hemme, who had just been discharged from the state hospital and was in the area at the time of the homicide, was charged and convicted of the murder. She confessed to the murder several times and was found guilty by a jury with just a few hours of deliberation.
The Innocence Project says not all is at seems, that the police and prosecution failed to do a proper job, ignored evidence pointing to a local cop, and railroaded a mentally unstable woman into prison where she remained for forty years. TA judge agreed with them and overturned her conviction. While she is now not incarcerated, her case is still being reviewed. At 64-years-old, she is believed to have served the longest known wrongful conviction of a woman in the US.
What happened in this case? Was there evidence pointing to Hemme? Or was there more evidence pointing to the police officer? Was this a true case of wrongful conviction or is the Innocence Project getting another guilty person out on a technicality.
If you have enough time, there is a long podcast (which I find excruciating but many people like these long descriptive kind of shows) which is called "The Sandra Hemme Story" and is at anneroderiquejones.com/season-3-the-sandra-hemme-story.
I will be covering this case through the court documents which I prefer as I am more likely to get the facts and this is often how I find out the truth about how the Innocence Project gets someone freed.
