When Deer Hunters Kill People

Karen WoodAt Maine Crime Writers today I have a post about Karen Wood, the Hermon housewife who was shot by a hunter in 1988 who said he mistook her white mittens for the tail of a deer. The story has attained folklore status in Maine—largely because a jury refused to indict the hunter—and in my post I attempt to explain why I think the incident continues to haunt us today.
