Jeanine Nicarico was home sick from school when someone kicked in the front door of her family’s quiet Naperville home. What followed was not just a horrific crime against a ten-year-old girl, but a decadeslong unraveling of truth, lies, and catastrophic failures within the justice system. Two young men (neither of whom matched the description of the killer) were sentenced to death based on manipulated confessions, junk science, and a system desperate for a conviction. Meanwhile, the real killer had already moved on to take more lives.

Allison tells us the rest of this story that started with one little girl and exposed one of Illinois’ darkest legal disasters.
