Description
Little, Crazy Children: A True Crime Tragedy of Lost Innocence by James Renner is a painstakingly researched account of a senseless and heartbreaking tragedy. In September 1990, Lisa Pruett, a 16-year-old poetry lover, was stabbed to death in Shaker Heights, leaving behind a community shaken and a suspect accused. The case against Kevin Young, a high school outcast, was built on theories and rumors among his friends and peers. Despite a lack of concrete evidence, he was arrested, charged, and tried for the crime. His eventual acquittal only fueled the anger and outrage among those who believed justice had not been served. Renner's fresh perspective and meticulous research shed new light on the events leading up to and following that fateful night, revealing a community torn apart by dark undercurrents and peer pressure.
