Douglas O. Linder
Acerca de esta escucha
In the 20th and 21st centuries, America has witnessed sensational trials, from the Gilded Age of New York City in the 1900s to the racially charged courtrooms in the segregated South to the culturally complicated landscape of today. What is it about cases like the murder of Emmett Till, the anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, the “Killings of the Flower Moon,” and the trial of college-aged Amanda Knox that capture our imagination?
Criminals have many motives for murder—passion, greed, racial hatred, ideology—but when you step inside a courtroom, you discover that verdicts are often delivered for the same reasons. Media smears, bribed witnesses, corrupt investigators, and psychological blind spots have made a spectacle of many murder trials. These stories stay with us long after the judge bangs the gavel.
On Trial for Murder: America’s Most Famous Murder Trials takes you inside the courtrooms and uncovers the stories of 10 of the most well-known trials since the turn of the 20th century. For this riveting foray into criminal law, your guide is Professor Douglas O. Linder, the Elmer Powell Peer Professor of Law at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law and creator of the Famous Trials website.
Professor Linder walks you through the story of 10 notorious murders across the country, including the vengeance-driven killing of an architect at Madison Square Garden; the political assassination of a former governor in Idaho; the mysterious case of Dr. Sam Shepherd (an inspiration for Hollywood’s The Fugitive); and the framing of Leo Frank, a Jewish businessman accused of murdering a teenage factory employee in Georgia.
As you will quickly see, murder trials are bigger than their verdicts. They become windows into prevailing values, prejudices, and our often-messy legal system. In this course, you will:
· Unravel high-stakes legal battles,
· Dissect race and class dynamics,
· Consider the role of the media, and
· Reflect on confirmation bias.
With the benefit of new evidence and the clarity of hindsight, On Trial for Murder: America’s Most Famous Murder Trials surveys these sensational—sometimes lurid—trials with a combination of brilliant storytelling and in-depth analysis, offering important lessons for us today.

Religion is foundational to what it means to be human. Our quest for meaning is as ancient as our very existence, stretching back to a time when Neanderthal burials and Paleolithic figurines suggest our ancestors recognized a power that transcended visible reality. From ancient civilizations to the 21st century, belief in a higher power seems to be a universal human instinct. These 12 thought-provoking lectures introduce you to the world of comparative religion, giving you insights into a variety of religious expressions and human cultures.

Sex. The word makes some people giggle or blush, while others may draw back in discomfort. So, why do we find it so difficult to talk openly about sex? Much of our reticence in discussing and acknowledging the realities of sex comes, at least in part, from a unique time and place: medieval Europe. In the 12 episodes of Sex in the Middle Ages, Professor Jennifer McNabb and a panel of experts in medieval history and literature will take you back to the period between the fall of Rome and the rise of the Renaissance to explore the ideals and realities of sex and sexuality.

Prosecutors charged Robert “Bobby” Crimo III with the mass shooting. But this attack was part of something even more insidious.

On July 4, 2022, a shooter climbed onto a rooftop in Highland Park, Illinois, and opened fire on a Fourth of July parade below, killing seven people and wounding dozens more. Prosecutors charged Robert “Bobby” Crimo III with the mass shooting. But this attack was part of something even more insidious. Bobby had created an elaborate game—complete with cryptic videos, a book of numbers, and an eerie online presence—designed to seed a conspiracy theory about the massacre.

You can’t truly understand the last decade of the 20th century without a look at the muddy, electrifying rock music that would come to define it: grunge. For such a short-lived genre—at least in the mainstream—grunge had a lasting impact on American music and culture. It also provides a unique lens through which to examine the post-Reagan, pre-internet America of the 1990s. In the six lectures of The Story of Grunge, you’ll explore the rise and evolution of the genre, tracing it from Seattle subculture to MTV and the Billboard charts, all the way to its decline and evolution into new forms.

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

She was clearly not okay, but could the relationship she'd thought was love really have been abuse? Had she been groomed?

But in 1964, after three decades in the mining industry, one of the most fascinating women in Canadian business history was the central character in one of the country's most famous stock scandals. MacMillan, who started out as a prospector in the '30s, had developed lucrative mines and put together big deals. But she still wanted "a major discovery." Early in July 1964, shares in Windfall Oil and Mines, a company she and her husband controlled, traded for around 56 cents. Then one day, the stock took off.

Fear was the unacknowledged specter haunting the streets of London during the Second World War; fear not only of death from the German bombers circling above, but of violence at the hands of fellow Londoners in the streets below. Mass displacement, the anonymity of shelters, and the bomb-scarred landscape offered unprecedented opportunities for violent crime. In this absorbing, sometimes shocking account, Amy Helen Bell uncovers the hidden stories of murder and violence that were rife in wartime London.

In May 1928, the body of George Edey was discovered on his Saskatchewan farm, leading to the swift arrest of a deaf and mentally disabled farmhand named Mike Hack. Following a three-day murder trial, Hack was quickly convicted and sentenced to death. Denied clemency, in January 1929 he was hanged in the courtyard of the Regina Jail at twenty-seven years of age and buried in an unmarked grave. Prairie Justice dissects this case, revealing its implications for important themes in the history of the Canadian criminal justice system.
