Summary

The “unofficial” first Me Too case of the 20th century exploded across the press with the murder of star architect Stanford White. His wild love affair with a 15-year-old showgirl ultimately led to her rich husband shooting White six years later in 1906, in front of a crowd of theatergoers. It was the trial of the century with a lot of “firsts” both in the press and in the courtroom.
