A meticulously researched combination of true crime history, murder mystery, and legal analysis. Legal scholar Martin Friedland explores the sensational 1900 murder trial of Albert Patrick?a young lawyer accused of forging the will of Texas multimillionaire William Marsh Rice (the founder of Rice University) and executing him by chloroform poisoning in his Manhattan apartment. Friedland lays out the historical trial details and subsequent appeals, casting doubt on what initially seemed like an open-and-shut case. Along the way, he highlights striking parallels to modern celebrity trials by examining the sensationalist turn-of-the-century yellow press, the hiring of high-priced expert witnesses, systemic flaws in penal institutions, and the overwhelming legal advantages enjoyed by the wealthy.
