Maxim Magazine: Colton Harris-Moore

This article from Maxim Magazine on Colton Harris-Moore –

The gangly teen giant from Camano Island, 25 miles north of Seattle, had been in and out of trouble since before his teens and was convicted of his first crime at age 12 (possession of stolen property). By 15, he went on an islandwide burglary spree with an older boy named Harley Davidson Iron-wing.

PORT ANGELES — A picture is said to be worth a thousand words.

For the attorneys representing convicted double-murderer Darold Stenson of Sequim, who is fighting a death sentence, the gravity of one photograph taken in 1994 can be summarized in just one word: retrial.

The picture, which shows the lead investigator in the 1993 murders wearing Stenson’s bloodstained jeans, points to possible evidence contamination, the attorneys argue.
