  • Craig Price (also known as the Warwick Slasher, born 1974) is a serial killer from Warwick, Rhode Island. He was arrested in 1989 for four murders committed in his neighborhood: A woman and her two daughters that year, and the murder of another woman two years prior. He had a previous criminal record for petty theft. After he was discovered, Price calmly confessed to his crimes. Arrested a month before his 16th birthday, he was tried and convicted as a minor. By law, this meant that he would be released and his criminal records sealed as soon as he turned 21. Price bragged that he would "make history" when he was released. The case led to changes in state law to allow juveniles to be tried as adults for serious crimes, but these could not be applied retroactively to Price. Due to the brutality of his crimes and the opinion of state psychologists that he was a poor candidate for rehabilitation, a group called Citizens Opposed to the Release of Craig Price formed to lobby for his continued imprisonment. Price was charged with a variety of crimes, including criminal contempt for refusing a psychological evaluation, extortion for threatening a corrections officer, and assault and violation of probation for fights while in prison. He was sentenced to an additional 10–25 years, depending on his cooperation with treatment. Price maintains that he has paid his debt to society, and that he is being kept in jail partially due to racism.
  • Craig Price (aussi connu comme The Warwick Slasher) est un tueur en série qui vivait à Warwick, dans l'État du Rhode Island aux États-Unis. Il est arrêté en 1989 alors qu'il a 15 ans, pour 4 meurtres commis dans son voisinage. Il a alors tué une femme et ses deux filles cette année-là, et il avait assassiné une autre femme deux ans auparavant. Il avait déjà rempli son casier judiciaire pour vol à l'étalage. Après qu'il a été découvert, Price confesse calmement qu'il est l'auteur de ces crimes. Arrêté un mois avant son 16 anniversaire, il est jugé par un tribunal pour mineur, et reconnu coupable. Conformément à la loi, cela signifie qu'il sera libéré quand il aura 21 ans et que son casier judiciaire de mineur sera scellé. Price promet alors qu'il « écrira l'histoire » quand il sera libéré. Ce cas poussa l'État à changer la loi afin de permettre de juger des adolescents comme des adultes. Cette loi ne put être appliquée rétroactivement à Price. À cause de la brutalité de ses crimes et de l'avis des psychiatres de l'État qu'il n'était pas un bon candidat pour la réhabilitation, un groupe appelé "Les citoyens opposés au relâchement de Craig Price" milite pour que Price reste en prison à perpétuité. Price a été condamné pour plusieurs crimes dont, le mépris criminel pour avoir refusé une évaluation psychologique, l'extorsion pour avoir menacé un officier et l'assaut et violation des règles de la prison pendant des bagarres. Il a été condamné à une peine additionnelle de 10 à 25 ans dépendante de sa coopération à son traitement.
