On 1st April 1990 Arizona state trooper Michael Miller pulled to the side of Interstate 10 in Casa Grande to inspect a parked truck. When he peered through the windows of the cab he couldn’t believe what he saw: the face of a petrified woman chained up like an animal. He immediately handcuffed the cab driver and put him into his patrol car. Michael didn’t know it yet but he’d apprehended a cold-blooded serial killer: Robert Ben Rhodes. For over a decade Rhodes had been raping, torturing and killing vulnerable women across the country, but he had remained completely undetected. World’s Most Evil Killers: Robert Ben Rhodes, Sky Crime 2020
‘His father was convicted for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl, so his father was essentially an abuser. And this behaviour was a reflection of a misogynistic value system that he had that woman and girls were there to be used and abused.’ ibid. Elizabeth Yardley
Rhodes had an uncontrollable sexual appetite. Working as a long-distance truck driver presented him with the perfect opportunity to act out his aggressive sexual perversions on strangers he had met on the road with or without their consent. ibid.

RICHARDSON, GERARD: Oddee online -
Who knew that something as small as a bite mark would lead to the overturning of a murder conviction of a man imprisoned for nearly two decades.
A 19-year-old girl was found dead in a Bernards Township ditch in New Jersey in 1994, and Gerard Richardson became the right man for the crime after prosecutors used bite-mark evidence to convict him.
But they were wrong, and DNA evidence helped prove that in October of 2013 with the help of the Innocence Project. The new evidence showed that the bite mark used to convict Richardson belonged to another male.
After nearly 20 years behind bars, Richardson was a free man.
Had his conviction held up, Richardson wouldn’t have been eligible for parole until May 2025. Oddee online report, ‘10 of the Worst Wrongful Imprisonment Cases’
RICHARDSON, JAMES: Oddee online - Herald-Tribune online - Janet Reno -
The 77-year-old Florida man recently returned to his hometown of Arcadia, where in 1967 he was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the poisoning deaths of his seven children.
He spent 21 years locked up for the heinous crime – his children died from lunches laced with pesticide – after being framed by authorities and alleged by prosecutors to have killed his young for insurance money.
Years later, the woman who had been babysitting Richardson’s children while he and his wife were away working confessed to the crime, so Richardson was freed from prison. Oddee online report ‘10 of the Worst Wrongful Imprisonment Cases’
Seven children poisoned by insecticide.
Their father charged with murder.
A white sheriff and a white prosecutor who, the story goes, framed a poor black fruit picker and brought shame to this town.
All those lawyers making a show at the trial and all those reporters asking questions about Arcadia that no one wanted to answer.
Nobody talks much about James Joseph Richardson or those seven dead children anymore.
That was 40 years ago, and just about anybody who had anything to do with it has died or moved on.
