The Wrong Carlos
[A Note from the Website: "All the evidence is here for readers to explore, and decide for themselves: crime-scene photos, law enforcement and court records, newspaper and TV coverage, police audiotape of the manhunt ending in DeLuna's arrest, videotaped interviews, interactive map and much more. These sources represent the most complete set of primary records and witness interviews (many of them videotaped) that has ever been compiled on an American capital case or, we believe, on an American criminal case of any sort."]
