GUESS WHO?"Everybody fell in love with him,"the ex-crack addict said."It was the interest he took."

When a young mother, a crack addict, found herself accused of murdering her own three year old, Robert Mueller was the prosecutor. And he did his own investigation. She says that if you're innocent, he's the one you should want to be your prosecutor.

Of course, he's also the guy who put John Gotti away.

This story is not behind a paywall, and it's worth reading the whole thing.

Morris-Murdock was lost in a crack addiction on the night in February of 1995 when she left her four young children in the care of her first cousin, Aaron Morris. She returned early the next morning to find little Rhonda unconscious and unresponsive. She called 911 and the police arrived along with paramedics who fought to revive the child.

“He killed my baby!” court papers quote Morris-Murdock crying out.

Rhonda was still not breathing and she still had no pulse when she was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Aaron Morris was arrested for homicide. One of the detectives initially felt certain that Morris-Murdock had been in the apartment during the killing and was therefore complicit.

“The b--ch was in on it,” Morris-Murdock remembers hearing one of the detectives say. “I don’t care what you say.”
