Show Notes

It was the trial of the century decades before OJ was even born, and its consequences shaped the 20th Century. Young Mary Phagan was brutally raped and murdered, her body left in the basement of an Atlanta factory. When Leo Frank was fingered for the crime, the nation was divided over his guilt. Did Leo Frank kill Mary? Or was his trial the result of antisemitism? We cover it all.
