Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeanine Nicarico
I moved this article to Jeanine Nicarico murder case which is the convention for such articles and which better describes the present (stubby) contents. This was a major case which had effects on society. It involved some of the accused being twice convicted of murder with no physical evidence, only alleged statement by the accused, while a different convicted murderer, Brian Dugan, had admitted commiting the crimes. His admission was reported later confrmed by DNA testing. It had a major effect on society in that it was a large part of what led the Governor of Illinois to pardon all death row inmates. The hue and cry over the overzealous prosecutions played a large part in preventing the prosecutor in the trials from winning a statewide illiection in Illinois many years after the death. It was featured in a book by author Scott Turow http://fsgbooks.com/fsg/ultimatepunishmentexcerpt.htm. Reporter Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune wrote many columns about the case over the years, as sumarized in http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2005/11/backgrounder_th.html.  The prosecutors in the original trials were themselves later tried for framing the men and acquitted, but the defendants got a 3.5 million dollar settlement. This murder case has passed the test of time and is a highly notable one, with scores of columns and several books over the decades since it occurred satisfying . The stub article has adequate sources to be edited into a good article
