Item description from seller

Vintage Penguin. #338. Famous Trials 1 gathers four well-known cases from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, each showing a different aspect of criminal investigation and courtroom argument. The Madeleine Smith trial examines a young woman accused of poisoning her lover, a case shaped as much by social scandal as by forensic uncertainty. Oscar Slater’s conviction for murder—and the long campaign to overturn it—highlights flaws in identification evidence and police procedure. Dr Crippen’s case, involving the disappearance and death of his wife, became one of the era’s most sensational trials, driven by forensic discovery and international pursuit. Dr Palmer’s prosecution centres on calculated poisoning and the difficulty of proving intent when medical knowledge can mask crime. In its Penguin edition, Harry Hodge presents clear, concise accounts of each trial, showing how evidence, advocacy and public opinion shaped these landmark moments in British legal history.
