Harold Israel (1903–1964) was an itinerant former serviceman wrongly accused of murdering a priest in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1924. The charges against Israel were dismissed by the prosecutor, Homer Stille Cummings, who later became Attorney General of the United States. The case, which gained national attention, became the basis for a 1947 film by Elia Kazan, Boomerang!. The Israel prosecution was praised in the Wickersham Commission report on law enforcement in the United States, which criticized police interrogation methods.
