William \"Junior\" Pierce was convicted of raping and murdering Margaret \"Peg\" Cuttino, 13, the daughter of a South Carolina state senator. The crime occurred in December 1970 in Sumter County, South Carolina. Cuttino was reported missing on December 18 and her body was found on December 30. Pierce, who had an IQ that \"barely broke 70\" and who was a known serial confessor, confessed to this murder apparently after being allegedly tortured by Sheriff \"Red\" Carter. A document supports Pierce\'s contention that his confession was coerced by physical abuse consisting of burns, bruises, and cuts to his \"privates.\" Witnesses to Pierce\'s actions in the jail claim that Pierce repeatly injuried himself. Also Sheriff Carter stop a lynch mob from killing Pierce while he was in the jail, putting himself and his family in danger. |
