A Question of Murder
John Maloney, a Green Bay, Wisconsin police officer, was convicted of murdering his estranged wife, Sandy, in 1999. He has always maintained his innocence. After Maloney’s conviction, the prosecutor in the case, Joe Paulus, pled guilty to accepting bribes to fix more than 20 cases. The question arises as to whether Maloney got a fair trial and whether he is entitled to be re-tried. Sheila Berry, part-time novelist, part-time investigator and part-time head of Truth In Justice, a non-profit group that tries to help people it considers wrongly imprisoned, has taken up Maloney’s cause.
