It was a barracks ship where sailors would keep quarters, and these sailors had full access to the pier where the murder took place and would come and go as they pleased at all hours of the night. They also threw shade on Jessica's boyfriend, George, and another friend, Freddie. But these young men were alibied by several other kids.

Then there was a kid called Scott K. Apparently he'd been in love with Jessica, and when questioned by the police, admitted to hiding a framed newspaper clipping of her murder under his mattress. While this is undeniably strange, Scott said this cliffing was all he had to remember her. Scott did resemble the boy on the bike. He was short, had shaggy blonde hair, and owned a 10-speed bike.

Scott, however, was also alibied by a friend. But what about Tony Sanborn's alibi? It admittedly wasn't a strong one. His father said that Tony was home by 11 or 1130 that night. So I imagine that was looked on pretty suspiciously by the jury. The jury deliberated for 10 hours. They found now 18-year-old Tony Sanborn guilty of murder and sentenced him to 70 years in prison.

This is like a parallel universe of the Delbert Tallman trial for the murder of Heidi Martin. In both cases, the state had no real evidence beyond witness testimony that tied the defendants to the crime scenes. Both men lived on the rough edges of life, drifting from one place to another with the wind. But the jury in Sanborn's case was convinced by the state.

It makes me wonder how close Tallman was to a conviction. For 27 grueling years, Tony Sanborn maintained his innocence from prison. I have the benefit of hindsight, and I'm saying with confidence that the state of Maine got it wrong. I believe Anthony Sanborn is innocent, and I'll tell you why. Nearly all of the key witnesses who testified against Sanborn in 1992 have since recanted.

I cannot stress this enough. Glenn B., who said he saw Sanborn on the night of the murder, angry, armed with a knife, stalking off to go find Jessica, admitted to lying under oath. He claimed that the Portland police and the attorney general threatened to arrest him if he didn't testify. And then there's Hope Cady, the state's star witness.

First of all, she had never even spoken to Toni Sanborn or to the other girl she accused, Michelle. So the fact that she said she recognized their voices is a lie. Hope Cady also had terrible vision, 20 over 200 when tested in 1990. But this wasn't told to Sanborn's defense until November of 2016. Hope Cady could never have seen the murder taking place, three peers away in dim light.

Hope Cady could never have seen the murder taking place, three peers away in dim light.

And finally, no less than six witnesses, when interviewed back in 1990, said they saw Hope Cady elsewhere that night and that she couldn't have been on the pier and seen the murder happen. And after all this, Hope Cady said she lied about witnessing the murder because she was, quote, scared the cops would arrest her.

And that leaves Jerry Rossi's testimony that Sanborn confessed to him three times. Rossi never recanted. But there's some important context to when Rossi became a prison informant. In his first interview, police audiotaped Rossi. And in this tape, Rossi says Sanborn never confessed to him. In his second interview, only a day later, police didn't record this.

And this is apparently when Rossi tells them that Sanborn did confess. Not once, not twice, but three times. And then it came out that a detective allegedly threatened Rossi with additional rape charges. A young woman named Bam BG said she was pressured for a brief time by Portland police to pursue rape charges against Rossi. These charges against Rossi never materialized.
