The trial was set for January 2, 1935 and it was expected to be the trial of the century (Petersen). When defense attorneys called Hauptmann to the witness stand, he professed total innocence, claimed that police had subjected him to beatings, and stated that he had been forced to produce handwriting samples that matched the ransom notes (Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping). After more than five weeks of testimony and 11 hours of deliberation, the jury returned a guilty verdict on Feb. 13, 1935, and Hauptmann was sentenced to death (Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping). On June 20, 1935 Hauptmann’s defense team appealed his conviction to New Jersey’s highest tribunal and on October 9, 1935 that appeal was denied (Busch). On Oct. 15, 1935, the defense team files second appeal and on Dec. 9, 1935 it was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court (Busch).Hauptmann, denying until the end any involvement in the crime, was executed by electric
Federal Court where the jury found that the author, Chris Kyle, had unjustly enriched himself by defaming plaintiff Jesse Ventura. In the book, Kyle described blackening the eye of "Scruff Face", whom he later identified in media interviews as Jesse Ventura. The jury awarded $500,000 for defamation and $1,345,477.25 for unjust enrichment. The lawsuit, Ventura v.

In December 2014, attorneys for Ventura filed a separate lawsuit against HarperCollins, the parent company of the publisher, for failing to check the accuracy of the story it used in publicity.

In line with these themes of tragedy and self-chastisement we find the story of Equus (1977). Equus is a 1977 British-American drama film directed by Sidney Lumet, with a screenplay written by Peter Shaffer, based on his original play, Equus (Smith 2015 : Online). Peter Shaffer was inspired to write the play when he heard of a crime involving a 17-year-old who blinded six horses in a small town near Suffolk, England.
