Description
In this first narrative history of Polly Bodine, the first American woman put on trial for capital murder from 1844-1846, a constitutional lawyer and crime historian shows how dueling trial lawyers, ruthless newsmen and shameless hucksters turned her case in America's formative tabloid trial.
