Overview

What does the Manson Family have in common with professional wrestling, Confidential, and a fire-proof vault? They make up just a few of the stories featured in Courthouse Chaos. Joined by the KKK, Hustler magazine, the National Guard, and Lee Harvey Oswald, this book dives into the histories of courthouses all across the United States to reveal their most famous and infamous trials and instances of mob violence. In many towns, the courthouse represents justice, safety, and the rule of law. However, in some cities it develops into much more, becoming the home of tragedies and notorious trials. Courthouse Chaos: Famous and Infamous Trials and Mob Justice covers the most well-known of these cases in detail, offering true crime lovers their moneys worth in local stories, well-researched facts, cutting insight, and unbiased conclusions. Broken into two sections, this book is the first in a series of true crime titles aimed at highlighting the deplorable and memorable events that have taken place in and around courthouses throughout the country.
