It's difficult to see past Nuremberg, historically. Or can we vote for most lulz?

TRIAL OF THE CENTURY

Not in the least bit US-centric

― Tom D., Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry...? There is the Chamberlain "Dingo" trial, which certainly did not come to american awareness via a Meryl Streep movie.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

Not that the US hasn't had a lot of great trials

― Tom D., Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

"Here's to You , Nicola and Bart..."

― Tom D., Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:43 (eighteen years ago)

I'm going Sacco and Vanzetti, just because it's so linguistically pleasing. Leopold and Loeb is close, tho.

I picked the McMartin Preschool trial because I am obsessed w/the stuff behind it, esp. the suggestibility of people (and kids) under the duress of poorly-done interviews.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:44 (eighteen years ago)

Sacco and Vanzetti convicted on two counts of wopness, I believe.

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

uh HELLO? Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Trial people!

― blueski, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

― Billy Dods, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

Too English

― Tom D., Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:55 (eighteen years ago)

Burning of the Reichstag shoulda been there too

― Tom D., Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:55 (eighteen years ago)

― darraghmac, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

― Tom D., Wednesday, 12 December 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)
