Synopsis

A family's horror -- one child murdered . . . another destroyed.

The Crowes' neighbors in the peaceful middle class community in San Diego's North County were shocked by the savagery of the crime -- a young girl murdered, stabbed repeatedly, in her own bed in the dead of night. The lack of any evidence of forced entry led the Escondido police to their inevitable conclusion: someone in the family was responsible for 12-year-old Stephanie Crowe's slaying. The investigation quickly zeroed in on the victim's older brother, Michael, and two teenage friends -- three loners who enjoyed inhabiting dark fantasy worlds of quests and violence. Through efficient, by-the-book police work, the boys were broken down and ultimately confessed. The only problem was the detectives had gotten everything wrong . . .

Shattered Justice is the riveting and disturbing true account of a horrific tragedy and the terrible crime that followed -- a nightmare of four innocent lives shattered, one by a killer's blade, three by obsession and twisted law.
