Child's Play
On a warm Monday afternoon in April 1983, the police in Bayfield, Colorado, charged a white male suspect with the senseless murders of eight-year-old Sherry Janson and her older sister Kristy. The victims had been stabbed repeatedly, their throats slashed. The suspect was their neighbor-a boy from a good home in a quiet, church-going community. He was thirteen years old.
Loss of Innocence is the riveting true story of an unthinkable crime-and a shocking exposé of an inadequate legal system that sends adolescent murderers back to the streets.
