The Castle on Garland Street: The Story of Ossian Sweet | The History of Murder

In 1925 Detroit, Michigan a Black family moved into a White neighborhood. A
mob attacked their home with rocks, and one man was killed. 10 men went to trial for first-degree murder. With Clarence Darrow leading the defense, the attorneys and the NAACP had to convince an all-White jury that defending one’s home was not a crime, but a right.

The Bride of Blood: The Story of Belle Gunness

If you want love, you might advertise. That was certainly true in 1908 La Porte, Indiana, when a Norwegian immigrant went looking for a mate in the newspaperโ€™s Lonely-Hearts section. But it didnโ€™t lead to love, it led to murderโ€ฆ and lots of it.
