So the allegation here is that Portland police threatened to charge Rossi with several rapes unless he testified against Sanborn. The fact that all the charges against Rossi were dropped is evidence of this.

FBI profiler Greg McCrary wrote in his 2017 report that quote, "...well-trained detectives know that using threats or promises to gain information during an interview violates basic police practices." Okay, and then get this. Remember those files found in the attic of the lead investigator, Detective Daniels? Those files were found and made available to Sanborn's team in May of 2017.

In Daniels' notes, it was discovered that Hope Cady was actually interviewed three days after the murder in 1989. Hope's first statement is that she was at home and didn't know anything. Then she said she saw Jessica Briggs in the park. Then she said she saw her on Commercial Street, quote, talking to a man in a pickup truck.

And then a year later, after Tony was arrested and she knew who he was from the papers, she completely pivoted and said she witnessed the whole murder. Any reasonable detective would recognize an unreliable witness. So then FBI profiler Greg McCrary reviewed the facts of Jessica Briggs' murder and analyzed the state's case against Sanborn. He filed a report with the courts on September 9, 2017.

In his conclusion, McCrary wrote the following. In this case, the Portland police failed to conduct a reasonably thorough, objective, unbiased investigation into the homicide of Ms. Jessica Briggs.

The fact that many witnesses, including Glenn B., Gloria S., Michelle L., Scott K., Michael L., Lori S., Dawn S., and Hope Cady have recanted what they said, or may have said, during this investigation and or at trial in this matter raises serious questions about the propriety of the investigation.

Other individuals have alleged that detectives used threats and intimidations to elicit information and or testimony from them. End quote. In 2016, defense attorneys Amy Fairfield and Timothy Zarrillo came up with a new plan.

Their client, Tony Sanborn, had lost appeal after appeal, but they knew that in 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned mandatory life without parole sentences for people under 18. So, their strategy was to withdraw Sanborn's post-conviction hearing and argue that his 70-year sentence constituted cruel and unusual punishment because he was convicted as a juvenile.

And the three superseding amended petitions as well... Tony, Amy, and Timothy Zarrillo are all standing behind the defense table. Tony sobbed as he got the news, and Amy conspicuously wiped beneath her eyes, trying to remain stoic in front of the judge.

Tony Sanborn walked out of prison after serving 27 years. He's now married and reportedly living a happy life on the outside. However, Sanborn's conviction still stands. Though he was able to gain his freedom and maintain his innocence, his conviction weighs on him every day. Same with Amy. As long as Sanborn is guilty in the eyes of the state of Maine, Jessica Briggs' case remains closed.
