IMMUNITY FOR MURDER (PT 1 OF 5) THE VERONICA TAFT STORY

Part One of Five- Immunity For Murder- The Story Begins

On December 30th, 2010, in the small city of Binghampton, N.Y., 23 year-old Veronica Taft, a single mother with four small children all under the age of five, returned to her apartment from her night job to be greeted by her boyfriend Charles "Chucky" Pratt, who told her all the children had been fed and were sleeping soundly. She went to bed herself, unaware that Chucky had beaten her two year old boy Lyric to death early that morning and placed him in his bed next to his sister. What follows is a true story told by the private investigator who worked on Veronica's defense as the murder investigation was botched by the police and turned in the wrong direction by the prosecuting attorney, who, after giving Chucky immunity, embarked on a vendetta to switch the blame to Veronica despite solid evidence that indicated she couldn't have done it, eventually charging her her with murder and sending Veronica Taft to state prison.. Author David Beers , currently a highly sought after private investigator, is a former marine and former crime investigator with the New York State Police..
