Tell A Friend

In 1983 the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that there had been no "expert in voice analysis" to support the claim that Peak's voice was not on the emergency call tape and denied Langa's appeal.  In 2004, Poindexter tried again and in 2006 a vocal expert, Tom Owens, subjected the tape to a series of scientific tests concluding that to a high degree of certainty it was not Peak's voice on the withheld tape.

 

Now, twenty-five years after Langa's appeal about the tape, the Nebraska Supreme Court will again review the matter, this time considering both expert testimony and with knowledge about J. Edgar Hoover's role in the withholding of exculpatory evidence.  A date for a decision has not been set.
