Sebold, who is white, reported her experience to police. An officer suggested that the man was Broadwater, who had supposedly been seen in the area. Sebold failed to identify Broadwater in a police lineup after he was arrested. Broadwater was tried and convicted regardless. Sebold identified him as her rapist on the witness stand, and an expert said microscopic hair analysis linked him to the assault. The analysis used in the case has since been debunked as "junk science" by the Justice Department.

Broadwater told The AP that he has "been crying tears of joy and relief" since he was exonerated. Sebold said in her statement: "I am grateful that Mr. Broadwater has finally been vindicated, but the fact remains that 40 years ago, he became another young Black man brutalized by our flawed legal system.

I will forever be sorry for what was done to him. Broadwater was nonetheless tried and convicted in based largely on two pieces of evidence. On the witness stand, Sebold identified him as her rapist. And an expert said microscopic hair analysis had tied Broadwater to the crime. That type of analysis has since been deemed junk science by the U.

Department of Justice. Sebold did not respond to messages seeking comment sent through her publisher and her literary agency. Broadwater, who has worked as a trash hauler and a handyman in the years since his release from prison, told the AP that the rape conviction blighted his job prospects and his relationships with friends and family members.

Even after he married a woman who believed in his innocence, Broadwater never wanted to have children. A message seeking comment was left with its new executive producer, Jonathan Bronfman of Toronto-based JoBro Productions. I wish you all a long and happy life. Throughout "The Lovely Bones," Susie Salmon grapples with letting go of her past and moving into the next phase of her afterlife. Saoirse Ronan, who was the same age as her ill-fated character at the time, explained to Michigan Daily that Susie is reluctant to accept that she is dead.

It's not until she watches her dad, Jack Mark Wahlberg , succumb to that same hate and vengeance and spiral out of control that she realizes how dangerous it is.

By fixating on anger rather than hope, the tragedy consumes their lives in an unhealthy way. By the end of the film, though, Susie is ready to move on. Harvey's crimes have been exposed, her parents are back together, and her siblings are safe. Before entering heaven, she briefly returns to Earth to kiss her crush, Ray, and thank him for the poem she never got to read. Then, she enters the unknown and becomes the last one to find peace. At best you might feel a whisper, or the wave of a whisper undulating down.

After watching him leave the house, Lindsey breaks in and uncovers a notebook filled with damning evidence: newspaper clippings about the crime, blueprints for the underground room, a lock of Susie's hair. It also reveals that she is Harvey's next target. Lindsey manages to escape with the notebook, handing it over to Grandma Lynn Susan Sarandon , who turns it over to the police.

The timing is just off, though, because Harvey knows she took it and can dump Susie's body and skip town before the manhunt begins. The film ends with Harvey tumbling to an icy death in a ravine , but it's never stated whether or not he's connected to the other murders that Susie learns about in her afterlife. It's also unknown how wide the search for him had spread or how long he evaded the police.
