Reasonable Doubt: Horror In Hocking County

A Logan, Ohio resident, a father, accused of satanically murdering and dismembering his stepdaughter and her fiance, and then scattering body parts in the Hocking River while burying other appendages in a nearby cornfield, was sentenced to die in the electric chair. "Horror in Hocking County" is a true crime account of parental hysteria and the aftermath in Logan. But Johnston's conviction by a three-judge panel was later reversed by the Ohio Court of Appeals. And that decision was subsequently upheld by Ohio's Supreme Court. Even though two other men later confessed to the gruesome crime, some Hocking County residents still believe in Johnston's guilt. This book examines the question of whether there was reasonable doubt?

I followed this story as it was playing out in SE Ohio, and later as Dale Johnson was "pardoned." Many, people including me, were left wondering what really happened. Thank goodness for Don Canaan's book. (I actually searched for such a book on and off for years after the case fell off the front page). His book sheds light on small town justice in 1980's rural Ohio, where I grew up. As I've aged I've come to believe there are a lot of strange-acting people, like Johnson. That doesn't make them murders. Just different.
