HBO’s latest docuseries, Murder In Boston: Roots, Rampage & Reckoning<\/strong><\/em>, looks at the gruesome murder of Carol Stuart in 1989.<\/p>\n The story made national news at the time, with Carol, a pregnant newlywed, seemingly attacked while in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury, while out with her husband, Charles “Chuck” Stuart.<\/p>\n And now it’s back in the headlines, with the documentary re-igniting interest in the case, which revealed harsh truths about both Charles and the city of Boston as a whole.<\/p>\n On October 23, 1989, Charles alleges that an assailant, who he simply labeled a young “Black man,” murders Carol, forcing his way into their car and shooting her dead. But the investigation begins to unravel when police start questioning and arresting Black men in the case, gaining no leads and causing an uproar in a community already riddled with racial tension.<\/p>\n Charles, who maintained his innocence throughout the investigation, would soon be seen as the case’s prime suspect after his brother, Matthew, goes to police and confesses on January 3, 1990, that it was actually Charles who killed Carol.<\/p>\n Unable to render YouTube Video.<\/strong><\/p>\n
