Description
The one and only time Billy the Kid made the front page of the New York Times was when Cold West detective Steve Sederwall re-opened the century old cold case of two deputies murdered by the notorious outlaw when he escaped from the Lincoln County Jail. Now , for the first time, Steve tells the story of his investigation in detail.Excerpt"The Little Rat-Bastard", was pretty much the kindest description I could muster for Billy the Kid. I saw him as little more than saddle trash, on the opposite side of everything for which I've ever stood and as a result, I had no use for this buck-toothed derelict. I've worn a badge my entire adult life, I bleed blue, and admittedly it's from that perspective I had formed my opinion. As a result, I had no problem with Pat Garrett voiding this scumbag's birth certificate. Well, that is until I saw the "dirty". Everyone has a secret they hope will remain hidden; cops call that "the dirty". It's not until you see the dirty do you understand the entire truth. When secrets are hidden, there's someone who doesn't want the truth known.Cops understand the truth cannot be reached until you see the raw evidence and facts void of the spin. You'll overlook the dirty if you're unable to pick up the "tells". Those signs, always present, pointing to the evidence, which, if followed, will drop you off at the doorstep of truth.In a criminal investigation, you may find evidence pointing to guilt, or uncover evidence clearing the suspect; in legal jargon, the evidence in the suspect's favor is called exculpatory. The state is bound by law to disclose exculpatory evidence; however, the same does not apply to history.
