In my 20's, I was highly interested in the Lindbergh crime and its possible suspects, even though Richard Hauptmann was tried and executed for said crime. In today's world he would probably not have been convicted on the evidence presented. That is not to say he was not guilty, for there is plenty of "evidence." This author makes a convincing case that Hauptmann was innocent and points the finger directly at the three others who resided in the home. DNA would have definitely convicted or cleared Hauptman but was not available. Another good book on this topic if you are interested in the Lindbergh kidnapping. The only downside is that it is 630 pages ( ) 2643 Lindbergh: The Crime, by Noel Behn (read 4 Sep 1994) This is the fourth book I have read on the Lindbergh kidnapping. The first, read July 9, 1962, was Kidnap, by George Waller. That author believed Hauptmann was guilty and he convinced me of such. The wood from the attic seemed the most damning to me. Then I read Scapegoat, by Anthony Scaduto, on Dec 4, 1976, and that book confidently disposed of the board evidence, and I hesitated to believe the explanation that author gave. Then on Dec 5, 1985, I read The Airman and the Carpenter, by Ludovic Kennedy, and became convinced Hauptmann was not guilty. Now this book claims there was no kidnapping at all! The author's thesis is that the child's aunt. Elizabeth Morrow, killed the child on Feb 27, 1932, and Lindbergh staged the March 1, 1932 events to protect his sister-in-law! This has nothing but inferences and speculation to support it, but the book was fascinating and fun to read.--although the events detailing the Hauptmann capture and trial and appeal were depressing. It made me thankful for the modern protections for accuseds, and very thankful that Iowa does not have the death penalty. I find it unbelievable that if this book has truth in it the people who knew the truth would have let Hauptmann die for a crime they knew he did not commit. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
