The Sacco-Vanzetti Trial (Be the Judge-Be the Jury)
reviewed on


Using actual trial testimony, this "You Are There" format, recreates a controversial trial that challenges the reader to re-evaluate the evidence and determine the verdict for themselves.

Readers assume the roles of jury and judge and decide, on the evidence presented, if Sacco and Vanzetti, accused of murdering two security guards in 1920, were guilty or victims of prejudice.
