The Leo Frank Case was a highly publicized murder trial that took place in 1913 in Atlanta, Georgia. Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent, was accused of murdering a 13-year-old employee, Mary Phagan. After a highly controversial trial, Frank was found guilty and sentenced to death. His sentence was later commuted to life in prison, but he was eventually lynched by a mob. The case sparked a national debate about anti-Semitism and the lack of due process for Frank.
