Springsteen Confessed a Second Time?
RECEIVED Wed., Oct. 28, 2009
Dear Editor,
Has everyone forgotten that Robert Springsteen confessed a second time in 1999 [“The Yogurt Shop Saga,” News, Nov. 6]? It is true that every criminal justice system has flaws, but who would confess in 1991, get away with it, but then confess again in 1999? I remember the article when they found him living his life in Lockhart. He confessed, saying that it was a relief to get it off his chest. Everyone needs to remember this.

[Editor's note: For the record, Robert Springsteen did not confess in 1991 and never lived in Lockhart. Regarding his 1999 confession, he has since maintained his innocence and claims the 1999 confession was false and coerced by police.]
