Last May, after twelve years in prison, previously decorated police officer Harold Grant Snowden, (seen left), walked free, his life sentence for child sexual abuse overturned by a federal court in Miami. During the 1980s, parents, police, prosecutors, and the press turned Miami, Florida, into ground zero for a new way of convicting alleged child molesters. Led by Florida's then-prosecuting attorney, Janet Reno alleged abusers were relentlessly pursued and convicted with a zeal unmatched in the nation. In "The Child Terror," as some of Reno's celebrated cases seem to be unraveling, FRONTLINE correspondent Peter J. Boyer examines the convictions that were a stunning triumph for the crusading prosecuting attorney and created an emerging political model that would be emulated by prosecutors across the country. Next week on PBS' Frontline.
