Wow, it's out, the comprehensive report two years in the making, all 20 double-spaced pages of it, by the New York State Investigation Commission entitled "An Investigation into the Procedures Resulting in the Arrest and Conviction of Martin Tankleff for the Murders of Seymour and Arlene Tankleff." You can read about it in today's Newsday, which was given an exclusive by the SIC.
The SIC's conclusion was that the conduct of the Suffolk County Police Department and District Attorney's office was "legal and proper" from the original investigation right through the handling of the 440 hearing. In today's article in Newsday, a spokesman for Marty Tankleff, Lonnie Soury, called the report "a shocking whitewash."
You be the judge.
