THE VERDICT OF THE COURT

BBC Home Service
on BBC Home Service Basic

Reconstructions of famous trials with postscripts by Dudley Perkins
2: The Nan Patterson Case with Bernard Braden and Sam Wanamaker
Murder: New York, 1904-5
Nan Patterson was three times indicted for the first degree murder of her lover, Caesar Young , by shooting him in a hansom cab. One mis-trial, two jury disagreements-and she was set free. Brilliantly prosecuted, brilliantly defended, the Verdict of the Court embodies the mystery that still surrounds the case.
Script adapted by Edward Ward from Newman Levy 's book ' The Nan Patterson Case '
Production by Joe Burroughs
