Boston Mayor Wu Apologizes for Wrongful Suspicions in Charles Stuart Murder Case
The final episode of HBO's true-crime documentary series "Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage, and Reckoning" explores the racially charged and botched investigation into the 1989 killing of Carol Stuart, in which her husband falsely blamed a Black man. Director Jason Hehir aims to shed light on the history of racism in Boston through this microcosmic case, highlighting the pain inflicted on the innocent community of Mission Hill and the wrongful conviction of William Bennett. The documentary reveals the flaws and injustices in the investigation, including the unrepentant attitude of some Boston police officials involved.
