HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — The Michigan Innocence Clinic at the University of Michigan Law School has taken up the case of former Zeeland resident Karen Sue Boes.
She was convicted of killing her 14-year-old daughter Robin in 2002, and unsuccessfully appealed her case to the Michigan Supreme Court.
The Netflix show The Confession Tapes featured Boes’ story. The true-crime documentary examines claims by people convicted of murder that their confessions were coerced, involuntary or false.
Lawyers for Boes are asking a judge to set aside her conviction and order a new trial, based on what they are calling “junk science” used in her first trial.
A website dedicated to her case is online at freekarenboes.com.
