A Stolen Life: the Debra Milke Story

Arizona said Debra Milke was a baby killer. Phoenix Homicide Detective Armando Saldate testified she "confessed" to having her four-year-old son murdered when he thought he was going to see Santa. In 1990, she ended up exactly where most thought she deserved--the only woman on Arizona's death row. So how did she become, in 2015, the second woman in American history to walk off death row a free woman? How did she become the nation's 151st Exoneree--innocents who once faced the death penalty? This compelling investigative work by one of Arizona's most acclaimed journalists takes readers inside the case--inside the prison, inside the evidence, inside the breakdown of justice, inside the legal tenacity, inside the heart and mind of Debra Milke.
