He Escaped A 27-Officer Raid - Then Police Hunted Him In 48 States

November 1986. Six officers wounded in a Bronx raid, and the man they came for walked out a back window. Here’s what happened in the 17 days that followed. This is the documented story of the raid, the hunt, the surrender, the trials and what the juries did and did not decide. The defense said the officers were corrupt. The prosecutor called that a myth. We give both sides and we say where the record is thin.
