I was wondering what was the trial of the century in the 20th century. By all counts not including all the Diet Trial arguments, there is about 18 trials of the century.
Here is my list:
1906: The trial of Harry Thaw
1907: The trial of “Big Bill” Haywood
1921: The Sacco and Vanzetti trial
1921: The trial of "Fatty" Arbuckle
1924: The trial of Nathan Leopold & Richard Loeb
1925: The Scopes “Monkey” Trial
1931-37: The Scottsboro trials
1935: The Lindbergh baby kidnapping trial
1946: Nazi War Crimes Trial
1951: The trial of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg
1954/1966: The trials of Sam Sheppard (The Fugutive)
1967: The Mississippi Burning Trial
1969: The "Chicago Seven" Trial
1970: The trial of Charles Manson
1971: Roe v. Wade
1976: Patty Hearst
1992/1993: The Los Angeles Police Officers' “Rodney King beating” Trial
1995: The trial of O.J. Simpson
1999: The Clinton impeachment trial
I think that Roe v. Wade has the most lasting impact. Nothing for a media circus is better then OJ or Clinton.
