	David Milgaard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Milgaard (born 1954) is a Canadian who was wrongfully convicted for the murder and rape of nursing assistant Gail Miller.
		At the time Milgaard and his friends were stopping to pick up a casual friend Albert Cadrain, whose family was renting out their basement to Larry Fisher, an ex-con who would later be found guilty of the crime.
		Milgaard was sentenced to life in prison, on January 31, 1970, at the age of 16 — exactly a year after Miller's murder.

	CBC News - Indepth: A Canadian Tragedy
		If not for her unswerving belief in David's innocence, her relentless pursuit of the truth, the painstaking detective work done by her and her legal team, I very much doubt Larry Fisher would have been brought to trial, let alone convicted of the 1969 murder of nursing assistant, Gail Miller.
		The number of years David Milgaard spent in jail; the number of years to which the rest of the Milgaard family, Lorne, Susan, Maureen and Chris were sentenced to sacrifice any semblance of normal family life.
		David Milgaard is a man who needs to escape to the woods just to breathe sometimes.

		In this in-depth study of the Milgaard saga, Karp and Rosner discredit the "evidence" used at his trial and peel away the years of deceit and cover-up that have denied him justice.
		Milgaard's years in prison, three suicide attempts, two escapes, and his never-changing plea of innocence are carefully detailed, as are his repeated attempts to get parole -- all of which were rejected because he refused to admit to the crime.
		In 1980, when Milgaard's mother Joyce started to investigate the case on her own, Karp and Rosner claim the police contacted many of the original trial witnesses and urged them not to talk to her.
