The bigger problem involved Thomas's confessions.
When Thomas was questioned in 1963, the Miranda warnings familiar today didn't exist yet.
The law was changing, though.
In nineteen sixty-four, the US Supreme Court decided S.
Cabido v.
Illinois, expanding protections for suspects during custodial interrogation.
Thomas's trial did not begin until 1966, so Escobido applied, even though police had questioned him years earlier.
Miranda would not be decided until later that same year.
In nineteen sixty nine, the Rhode Island Supreme Court ruled that the statements Thomas made to the Pawtucket officers who were actively interrogating him should never have been presented to the jury.
He had not been advised of his right to remain silent, and because the protections established in Escobido applied by the time his delayed trial began, his first degree murder conviction was reversed, and he was granted a new trial.
But the ruling did not throw out everything Thomas had said about Nancy.
Remember, several hours after the Patucket interrogation ended, the
Thomas had been turned over to East Providence Captain Theodore Hilton.
At the state police barracks, Thomas asked to speak with Hilton alone and then confessed again without Hilton questioning him.
When Thomas would eventually go back to trial, the Pawtucket confessions were off limits.
His later confession to Hilton was not.
Before Rhode Island tried him again though, Thomas was sent to Massachusetts to face the still pending charge in Edith Martin's murder.
But the case didn't go very far.
His defense successfully challenged his confession there, too, and without that statement, or evidence derived from it, prosecutors concluded they could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, and so the Massachusetts murder charge was dropped.
As far as I can tell, Edith's case has never seen a jury verdict.
