When a white man from a prominent local family in Woodstock was murdered in 1905, authorities quickly identified a local African American man as the prime suspect. Amid racist animus in the press, he fled across two counties before being apprehended by a vigilante and charged. Local reformer and politician Augustus H. Van Buren stood up to community pressure and defended the accused pro bono. It took three years and multiple trials to overcome racial inequalities in the justice system. Local historian Richard Heppner documents the crime, arrest and trials that revealed racial tensions in upstate New York at the turn of the century.
A series of murders in the summer of 1969 terrified California residents and baffled police. The victims -- including a famous Hollywood actress, a middle-aged couple, and a young music teacher -- were slaughtered savagely. The investigation led to a group of hippies living in the desert who appeared to be responsible for the crimes. Their leader, Charles Manson, had a motive that was stranger than the killings themselves. In The Charles Manson Murder Trial, author Michael J. Pellowski tells the chilling story of the hippie cult and their leader, describing the crimes they committed and the police and prosecutors who brought them to justice. He explores the time in which the strange events took place and the legal questions that emerged in one of the most notorious trials in American history. Book jacket.
