You be the judge. Based on the evidence, did the jury in this real historical trial get it right?
True Crime on Trial takes a deep dive into one of Chester County's most controversial cases, utilizing trial transcripts, newspaper reports, and evidence from the crime scene. Starting at 6:00pm, attendees can order craft beer, cocktails, and delicious bites from the regular menu (not included in ticket.) Historians from the staff of CCHC will present the evidence and give you, the audience, a chance to reach a verdict. At the end, we'll tell you how the case actually turned out.
