"In September 1988, Melvin Ignatow murdered his girlfriend Brenda Sue Schaefer in Louisville. Tried in 1991, he was acquitted. Months later, police discovered hidden photos and jewelry that proved his guilt. Because of double jeopardy he could not be retried for murder, though he later confessed and was convicted of perjury. The case outraged the public and is remembered as one of Louisville’s most notorious failures of justice. Ignatow died in 2008."
