CASE SCENARIO / ASSIGNMENT DETAILS

Overview: In the Phoenix, Arizona, area in 1991-1992, a series of more than seven rapes was widely publicized. The victims had accepted rides from a white male they variously described as being between 20 and 40 years old, who drove into outlying desert areas, where he assaulted them and released them near well-traveled roads. Local media referred to the assailant as the “baby-seat rapist” because in two (or possibly three; one victim’s account was inconsistent) cases the assailant’s vehicle carried a child’s car seat.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s office prosecuted and convicted Scott Lehr to death. However, numerous questions exist as to whether they “caught and prosecuted” the right suspect.

YOUR JOB: Using the knowledge you have gained from this course (along with the materials below), you need to author a two page reflection about the guilt or innocence of Scott Lehr. Use this Word template to develop your response (you can delete the questions and other details when you are ready to submit your work).

For background information on the case, use the following materials:

  1. PowerPoint Overview: This PowerPoint was created by a student who researched the Baby Seat Rapist case. Of particular importance, the student outlines the various suspects that police interviewed associated with the murders. There are details relating to each suspect’s background.
  2. Website (Links to an external site.): This website was designed by individuals who are trying to seek justice for Scott Lehr. They believe he is innocent and that prosecutors failed to disclose information about the case to jurors. REMEMBER — consider this evidence. You have to render a final decision.
  3. Book Excerpt: An author, Mary Lash, wrote a book entitled, The Desert Murders: How Junk Science, Witness Contamination, and Arizona Politics Condemned an Innocent Man. I have copied several chapters for you to use in your consideration of this case.
