The Keith Longtin Story Interrogated for 36 hours without rest and without an attorney, Keith Longtin was charged with murdering his wife. The charge was based on a confession Prince George's County, Maryland police claimed he made, but which Keith cannot remember. For the next eight months Keith languished in jail, held without bond. Police ignored his attorney's repeated requests for DNA testing. During that time, the man who killed Keith's wife was free to commit six more brutal rapes. Even when Keith was cleared by DNA testing -- ordered by a detective in the sensitive crimes unit -- homicide detectives continued to insist Keith had "guilty knowledge." |
