Martin Tankleff Hopes To Get Degree

I am so happy that Martin Tankleff has not let prison embitter him to the point where he cannot move on. It seem that Mr. Tankleff is moving in the right direction:

Martin H. Tankleff, the Long Island man whose conviction was dismissed 17 years after he was found guilty of murdering his parents, has begun taking classes toward a bachelor’s degree at Hofstra University in Uniondale, N.Y., a family spokesman said Monday.

Mr. Tankleff, 36, was freed from prison in December after a state appellate court vacated his conviction and granted him a new trial.

When I watched 48 Hours last week depicting how he was railroaded by the lead detective in the case, I cannot help but wonder what may be going on with that detective who deprived this young man of so much of his life. It makes you sit up and think how one incompetent and vicious detective can cause Mr. Tankleff and his family so much pain. I know Mr. Tankleff will do well and I expect he will become a valuable asset to others.
