Description
On Memorial Day 1933, Stanford executive David Lamson found his wife, Allene, dead in their Palo Alto home.
The only suspect, he became the face of California's most sensational murder trial of the century. After a judge sentenced him to hang at San Quentin, a team of Stanford colleagues stepped in to form the Lamson Defense Committee.
The group included poets Yvor Winters and Janet Lewis, as well as the "Sherlock Holmes of Berkeley," criminologist E.O.
Heinrich. They managed to overturn the verdict and incite a series of heated retrials that gripped and divided the community.
Was Lamson the victim of aggressive prosecutors, or was he a master of deception whose connections helped him get away with murder?
Author and Stanford alum Tom Zaniello meticulously examines the details of a notorious case with a lingering legacy.
