"The summary here offered, is based on the book by Professor Felix Frankfurter, of the Harvard Law School, "The Case of Sacco and Vanzetti," itself based on the written record of the trial, published by Little, Brown, and Company in association with the Atlantic Monthly Company, Boston, Mass."--Foreword Bob Taylor, Steve Mattern and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti: A Summary of the Outstanding Testimony" by Louis Bernheimer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book offers a detailed examination of the infamous trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrants and radicals who were convicted of murder in connection with a robbery. The work aims to clarify the critical testimony that contributed to their conviction and to address the public's concerns about the fairness of the trial. The narrative presents key witnesses and examines their testimonies, revealing numerous inconsistencies and potential biases that influenced the outcome. Central to the prosecution's case were the eyewitness identifications and the notion of "consciousness of guilt" displayed by the defendants following their arrest. Bernheimer highlights how testimonies that led to the conviction were not thoroughly corroborated and were often contradicted by credible evidence provided by the defense. The summary emphasizes the problematic nature of the proceedings, highlighting the cloud of suspicion surrounding the defendants due to their radical beliefs rather than solid evidence of their guilt. Ultimately, the book advocates for a reexamination of the case, reflecting the broader themes of justice, prejudice, and the impact of public sentiment on legal proceedings.
