Judge Kantrowitz explores some of the most notorious legal cases in American history. They all titillated, if not repulsed, the entire nation when they occurred. Today, they are nearly forgotten. From the unfair framing for murder of America’s most famous comedian, to America’s first capital case involving an older woman and her much younger lover murdering her husband, to Mad Harry Thaw, the wealthy son of a steel magnate, killing America’s foremost architect over a beautiful woman, all come to life in gripping detail and drama.
Admission is free, and refreshments will be served.
And meet the real Norman Bates of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” whose mother fixation and real life gruesome crimes far outmatched those of any fictional character. This book brings to life these notorious characters and many more from the rich pages of history.
