Item Details

Description

1855 INSANITY PLEA 1st Henrietta Robinson Veiled Murderess Criminal LAW Poison

â€œHenrietta Robinson” by David Wilson delves into the intricate details of the 1854 trial of Henrietta Robinson, or, the â€œveiled murderess”. Accused of the arsenic poisoning of Timothy Lanagan and Catherine Lubee, Robinsonâ€™s trial became a significant event, not just for the chilling nature of the crime, but also for the profound debate it sparked about the plea of insanity in the court system. Throughout the trial, Robinson remained an enigma, shrouded in her veil, revealing little about her past, and adding to the mystery surrounding her motivations and mental state. The book meticulously presents the court proceedings, from the contentious discussions on the plea of insanity to the inexplicable conduct of Robinson. Beyond the courtroom, Wilson delves into Robinsonâ€™s personal history, aided by her eventual revelations after her transfer to Sing Sing Correctional Facility, to provide readers with a compelling mix of true crime and biography. Written by the same David Wilson who published the seminal â€œTwelve Years a Slave,” this work offers a vivid snapshot of a moment in American legal history, shedding light on the complexities of jurisprudence and societal perceptions of crime and punishment in the mid-19th century.
