About
In 1876, a murder mystery consumed the southern Indiana newspapers. At the heart of the tragedy, Edward Leyer and his family stood accused of a crime so heinous that the local citizens felt compelled to take the law into their own hands. This true story was published in papers from coast to coast, but circumstantial evidence always carries a grain of doubt.
An Indiana Tragedy revisits the Leyer family and the events that led to a trial that would rip the family apart at the seams. Some of the best and brightest litigators of the time presented the trial and closing arguments. Opinions in the town of Evansville, Indiana, were divided between guilty and innocent. Sometimes, there's more to a verdict than meets the eye.
