On Wednesday, January 3, 7 p.m. at the NE Branch Library, 330 7th St. NE. Tom Zaniello will discuss his investigative book, “California’s Lamson Murder Mystery: Depression Era Case that Divided Santa Clara County”, which tells how the wrongful conviction of David Lamson that almost got him hanged in San Quentin was based on shoddy police work, corrupt and inept investigators, and demagogic prosecutors who had no regard for the truth, literally creating evidence to make him look guilty of striking his wife with a pipe.
