Synopsis

The Murder of Mary Phagan is a true crime story that follows the investigation into the murder of a young girl named Mary Phagan in Atlanta, Georgia in 1913. The story begins with Mary's body being found in the basement of the pencil factory where she worked, and the subsequent arrest of the factory's superintendent, Leo Frank, for her murder.

As the investigation unfolds, new evidence comes to light that casts doubt on Frank's guilt. The case becomes a media sensation, with the public divided over whether Frank is innocent or guilty. Frank is eventually convicted of the murder and sentenced to death, but his case is appealed all the way to the Supreme Court.

The Murder of Mary Phagan explores themes of prejudice, justice, and the power of the media in shaping public opinion. It raises questions about the fairness of the legal system and the impact of bias on the outcome of a trial. The story is a gripping and tragic tale of a young girl's murder and the quest for justice that follows.
